About this episode

If you’ve ever had a powerful psychedelic journey and wondered how to truly integrate it into your daily life, I created Unlock God Mode — a 30-day framework to help you anchor those insights and embody your highest self. It’s not a psychedelic program. It’s an integration journey, filled with transmissions and practical exercises distilled from my own mushroom experiences, spiritual practices, and the wisdom of my teachers and mentors.

You can do it with or without psychedelics. Either way, Unlock God Mode rewires your self-concept, shifts your state of being, and helps you live from the truths you’ve glimpsed in expanded states. Many people say it feels like going on a 30-day trip — but instead of fading, the transformation lasts.

👉 Join today at unlockgodmode.org

Right now, you can access it for a one-time lifetime deal of just $97. One payment, full access forever. This is a rare opportunity, and I don’t know how long I’ll keep it open.


If you’ve been waiting for your sign to take your psychedelic or spiritual insights and root them into your everyday life — this is it. Begin today at unlockgodmode.org
