  • Loved the ep with Chris!

    Hi Richard! Loved the leadership lessons with Chris Fuzie, that you do what you have to do in large part because you swore an oath saying that you would do just that. Left you a simple 5-star rating and review!

  • Amazing Podcast!

    I recently listened to the episode The Art of Being Authentic with T. Mark Meyer. I really enjoyed hearing the journey he took to lead a different life. Richard did a great job of asking questions that really brought out the information that can help people.

  • Great for Anyone Who Leads, Is Human and Wants an Inside Track on Thinking that’s Forward and Deep

    If you are one of those people who has realised that the world and the way we do business is in desperate need of a thorough and more human rethink, you’ll get a lot out of these conversations.

    Strong interviewer, who isn’t afraid to be real and be changed.

    Fascinating guests.

    My only complaint is that the the guests are so good I often end up buying and read their books and other content!

First-timers undergo education and preparation to avoid overwhelming experiences; ceremonies are paced slowly to foster connection without rushing into intense experiences, with emphasis on safety, integrity, and responsible facilitation.

Q: What is ayahuasca, and how does it work in a retreat setting?
