About this episode

Rico from Twin Flames Mycology shares his inspiring journey from homelessness to running a successful mycology business.

Rico from Twin Flames Mycology joins me today to discuss his extraordinary trajectory from being a homeless teenager who first encountered wild psilocybin mushrooms on a fateful kayaking trip to today where he runs a profitable independent business in the mycology research space and has built a family of his own. Twin Flames specializes in 'set it and forget it' home mushroom labs that enable turnkey mycology research for anyone. Their Lumina Mushroom Labs are available on their website and ship to all 50 states in the U.S. This episode is brought to you by the Laughter Is Medicine mushroom retreat I'm co-hosting in Jamaica March 15-20, 2026. Check out the website for the itinerary and reserve your spot on this first of it's kind offering in the mushroom retreat space. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
