What if the most talked-about topic in wellness research has been the hardest one to discuss openly — until now?
This week, Shane sits down with Zappy Zapolin — former Wall Street executive turned documentary filmmaker and psychedelic advocate — for a wide-ranging conversation about the history, the science, and the cultural shift happening around psychedelic research.
Zappy shares how he went from closing deals on Wall Street to directing a documentary about NBA star Lamar Odom’s personal journey, why researchers at Johns Hopkins and Yale have spent decades studying these compounds, and how public figures like Bryan Johnson are bringing new attention to a field that was largely operating outside the mainstream conversation.
They also dig into what a psychedelic guide actually does, what “set and setting” means and why it matters, and how Zappy’s Psychedelic Concierge training program is preparing people to work in one of the fastest-growing areas of wellness research.
A conversation about history, human consciousness, and asking questions the mainstream hasn’t caught up to yet.
