Psychedelics & Entrepreneurship 101 with Dustin Erickson

“It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see.” -Henry David ThoreauThe majority of us have spent most if not all of our lives adhering to a specific mold and model of what we believe we should be. Whether that expectation was impressed upon on us by parents, through peer pressure, or even by society as a whole, we’ve had little space to become the people we have the potential to be.
