On this episode of Mushroom Talk, we have Tim Schlidt joining us to chat about the role that venture capital plays in the psychedelic space. We dive deep into what he looks for in a founder and company when he is investing, and his story coming out of the psychedelic closet. One important note that we discuss are his thoughts on the corporatization of plant medicine, specifically the role of patents. Tim is a mover and shaker in the VC Psychedelic space bringing us a ton of knowledge, wisdom, and guidance on finance and psychedelics.

About Tim:

Years ago, co-founders Tim Schlidt, Daniel Goldberg, and Tony Eisenberg saw the enormous therapeutic potential psychedelic medicines posed. After years of researching and networking in the space, they co-founded Palo Santo in 2020 to focus on investing across this emerging ecosystem of psychedelic healthcare companies. As a former investment banker and private equity investor active in the life sciences and healthcare services sectors, Tim brings extensive experience evaluating healthcare deals and offers a unique perspective to the nascent sector of psychedelic-focused biopharma

On the third episode, we welcome Tah and Khole Whitty as we speak about the importance of integration with psychedelic medicine. They are some of the most intentional souls I've across in the psychedelic space. We speak about their experiences of overcoming drug overdose, helping others in emergency room settings, conscious partnership, creating safe containers for journeys, and the often overlooked yet the vital role that integration plays with psychedelic medicine. This is by far one of the most insightful conversations full of depth and wisdom we've had on mushroom talk.

About Tah and Kole:

Tah and Kole Whitty, a husband and wife team who married high above Machu Picchu. With over 25 years in emergency medicine, 17 years in trauma/addiction/keynote speaking, 15 years combined fitness/personal training/group fitness and 13 years shamanic traditions, we have seen a lot and learned a lot.

What do we believe?

Every "Body" has a unique language that holds the key to their Freedom and our job is to help you identify what your body is trying to tell you.

The physical manifestation of subconscious thought patterns and stress coupled with the repression of emotion plays a huge roll in physical health.
