Want To Watch Entrepreneurs In Recovery? Watch Here: https://www.youtube.com/@jesseharless I sit down with Neil Markey to explore military service, trauma, meditation, and the growing role psychedelic-assisted experiences can play in healing and human transformation. What really stood out to me in this conversation is how clearly Neil explains that the medicine is not the whole story. It’s the preparation, integration, daily practices, and nervous system work that help turn insight into lasting change.
