Dr. Ben Malcolm bridges molecule and mystery to help high performers access flow, mental fitness, and long-term mastery. He shows how breath, music, and set/setting transmute discomfort into self-regulation; why psychedelic navigation is a skill you can train; and how to leverage the 72-hour neuroplasticity window to lock new habits. His “person over pills” lens personalizes safety (e.g., MAOI awareness) while honoring cognitive liberty, from microdosing “Perfect Sundays” to guided deep dives. The result: wiser protocols, calmer nervous systems, and bolder creative action—so leaders can Spot what matters, Drop what doesn’t, and Go build a life that flows.

[00:00:00] Breath, Sound & Spirit
How the didgeridoo, circular breathing, and Indigenous storytelling opened Ben to spirituality and non-ordinary states.

[00:06:30] When Sound Triggers Fear
Using parasympathetic long breaths to turn sonic overwhelm into mind-body learning and calm.

[00:11:45] Psychedelics Are A Skill
Navigating trips is a trainable craft—more like practicing free throws than chasing a “mystical swoosh.”

[00:17:10] First Mystical? Say Yes
Early mystical experiences are blessings—“when the ocean comes, marry at once”—and can seed lifetime resilience.

[00:23:00] Molecules Meet Mystery
Knowing pharmacology often enhances awe: psychedelics may catalyze adaptive change, not just chemistry.

[00:29:40] Person Over Pills
Interaction questions start with the human: history, intentions, season of life—not a drug chart in a vacuum.

[00:35:20] Ayahuasca Safety Basics
Because of MAOIs, some meds are clearly incompatible; others are fine—nuance and screening matter.

[00:40:00] Microdosing: Beyond Placebo
Newer studies show day-of mood lift and even next-day sleep gains—use with realistic expectations.

[00:45:30] PRN “Perfect Sunday”
Ben’s flexible microdosing idea: occasional, intention-led days with set/setting safeguards to spot-boost mood.

[00:50:50] 72-Hour Plasticity Window
Act fast post-journey: install habits for ~3 weeks and avoid inputs that weigh you down.

[00:56:20] Cognitive Liberty is greater than One-Size-Fits-All
Psychedelics serve healing and performance; evidence has bias—personalize protocols responsibly.

[01:02:00] Dose With Context
Lower-moderate solo, higher with support; stick to tried-and-true compounds over exotic stacks.

[01:07:30] Break “I’m Not A Musician”
Ceremony often dissolves limiting stories; many start singing or playing after ayahuasca.
