Welcome to the Shift with Intention podcast with today's guest Zach Babcock, CEO, and Founder of Podcast Penthouse and host of the Underdog Empowerment Podcast. Zach shares his emotional story of growing up in psych wards, rehabs, and juveniles and doing over 5 years in prison as an adult. But after all the curve balls that life threw at him, from his father's untimely death and getting in trouble with drugs, he made a radical shift that earned him his first million 6 years after getting out of prison. He shares the amazing benefits of MDMA-assisted psychotherapy and the hard work of integrating into society afterward. HIGHLIGHT QUOTES MDMA-assisted psychotherapy turned Zach's life around - Zach: "Before I turned my life around, I would do drugs to numb it. I would put myself in crazy situations for thrills to feel alive and stuff and all this stuff. And then I turned my life around and I was still doing the same shit. I was just doing positive stuff. I was going all in on the business and dominating. Build, build, build. Be successful and all this stuff and it wasn't enough. And when I did this MDMA-assisted psychotherapy, it was the first time ever in my life that I had a release." Zach realized that becoming the dad he never had is his happiness - Zach: "I don't have balance in my life but I do have harmony. What I mean by that's before this, before 2021, I used to spend 16 to 18 hours a day just working, 6 to 7 days a week. And like yeah, I'd spend some time with my family but there's not much time left after that. And I was just grinding. The whole reason I started moving down this direction in the first place is that I wanted to be the dad that I didn't have growing up. And so, now, I am that dad and it's my favorite part about my life really is showing up every day, present as fuck, spending quality time with my kids and doing shit with them and helping them grow."
