In this episode, Gerald Rogers sits down with Paul Austin, founder of The Third Wave and a leading advocate for the intentional use of psychedelics, especially microdosing, as a tool for personal and entrepreneurial growth. Paul shares his journey from early experimentation to becoming a key figure in the modern psychedelic movement, discussing how the culture has evolved from ancient traditions and the 1960s counterculture to today's focus on structure, intention, and integration. The conversation covers the differences between recreational, ceremonial, therapeutic, and developmental uses of psychedelics, along with the importance of aligning your work with your true purpose.

Paul explains how microdosing can support creativity, adaptability, and nervous system regulation, particularly for entrepreneurs and creators. He also breaks down the science behind psychedelics, including neuroplasticity, BDNF, and how the prefrontal cortex influences leadership and innovation.

This episode is a call to use these tools skillfully, integrate insights into action, and have the courage to follow your vocation with clarity and purpose.
