Ep. 43 - Mike Brancatelli - Host of Mikeadelic Podcast, Psychedelics, Decriminalization, Comedy & Liberty

Hey everybody! Episode 43 of the show is out. In this episode, I spoke with my friend Mike Brancatelli. Mike and I met when he came to the Amazonian plant healing center the Temple of the Way of Light. We hit it off right away, both coming from New York and having an interest in the ideals of Liberty. I’ve been on Mike’s podcast twice, so it was great for me to finally have him on mine. We got into myriad topics including his background, his podcast, comedy, psychedelics, the effort he is a part of in the decriminalization movement in Colorado, men’s groups, and the ideals of Liberty and why they are so important, especially in the times we are living in. I always really enjoy speaking with Mike and I think you all will enjoy this conversation and hopefully get a lot out of it.

I also have a new comedy show out right now on patreon.com/mikebranc that will be launching publicly in the summer. Some episodes of the new show entitled Dosadelic are out on the Mikeadelic pod feed. From 2014-2016,  I was the co-host of Part Of The Problem podcast with comedian Dave Smith, a libertarian comedy podcast. I am a psychonaut, a facilitator, cultivator, and have been intentionally working with high doses of mushrooms and ayahuasca since 2014. I performed stand-up comedy in NYC, backpacked around Southeast Asia, worked at an ayahuasca center in the Peruvian Amazon, and helped the campaign to decriminalize psilocybin mushrooms in Denver. I also do podcast consulting, voice-over acting, characters, and impressions. I'm currently focused on holding rites of passage/ initiation retreats, and hosting men’s work retreats in Colorado, and am currently offering 1 on 1 "coaching" sessions. Soon, I will be doing live podcasts and shows again. I consider myself to be a comedian, activist, heterodox thinker, anarchist, and paradox holder. I am focused on spreading the message of liberty and healing through entertainment. ”To learn more about Mike or to contact him, visit: https://www.mikebranc.com/ and all of his links can be found here, including his podcast: https://linktr.ee/MikeadelicThis episode of the show is sponsored by the Temple of the Way of Light.
