Personal--Managing Two Jobs
Everyone is told that the best way to get ahead is hard-word. How have you been able to excel at two jobs: head of a research lab and podcaster/scientific communicator? Can you speak on this through this lens of 'hard-work pays off'? What have you had to sacrifice to actually become what you are now?
Rites of Passage
Besides some of the laissez-faire approach toward some psychedelics, although there is some clinical guided therapeutic use in the case of PTSD in particular. What are some modern day versions of Rites of Passages that aided people with the struggles of life, by experiencing a Shamanic/Ego Death enabling them to Learning to Die in Order to Live that can be practiced today in many people’s non-communal/tribal/nature deficit landscapes?

Psychiatric drug withdrawal
Although many or most psychiatrists and other mental health practitioners do not admit there can be serious and long lasting withdrawal symptoms from psychiatric mediations (SSRIs, benzodiazepines, etc.) the experience of a few people close to me and a large community of people I follow would strongly disagree. For example, watch the film "Medicating Normal", listen to the podcast "Mad in America", or read the book with the same name. Can you comment on the potential for serious and prolonged withdrawal from psychiatric medications?
