CLOSING CEREMONY

"Psychedelics are amazing. They are unique. But they're not the thing that makes your business NOT need to follow normal human behavior. We need to fall into some sort of normalcy in the way we're showing up. And I think we thought that a few times, "Oh no, we're so virtuous. We're great." No. You still need to function like a business. It’s not that just because you’re doing good, it’s going to work. There were plenty of businesses that were doing good, and they’re [no longer functioning]." – Joe Moore, in the latest Psychedelic Podcast.
