As I was perusing substack, I came across this great post by Scott talking about going From Becoming A Somebody to Becoming A Nobody. Scott takes us through the journey of the past 3.5 years which had been filled with highs and lows. He was at the "top" of his life having raised $12M in a Series B round for his company, peak physical health, great relationships, and then life came to a complete flip after he participated in his first ayahuasca experience.It brought him to an awakening of his place in life and desire to understand this new energy that started flowing through him.  The piece really resonated with me as someone who has worked for the path laid out in front of me until one day deciding to break that path. In today's conversation, we talk about fulfillment, human consciousness and creativity.
