Living Before Leaving
Psychedelics, mortality, and the days we have leftFor anyone living with the nearness of death, whether facing a diagnosis or sitting with someone who is, a psychedelic encounter with the Sacred rarely changes the prognosis. It changes the fear, the isolation, the sense that the story is already over. What opens instead is a way to live the remaining days awake and unafraid.
Built for people in the later chapters of life, and for those who love and care for them. Fits libraries, retirement and senior living communities, lifelong learning programs, palliative care and hospice networks, caregivers, grief and bereavement groups, and congregations.

What Entrepreneurs Need to Know About Psychedelics
Before this work, Matt spent years building and running companies, so he knows the pressure and won't waste your time. In a direct briefing, he lays out what the science actually supports, what it doesn't, what the risks and open questions are, and how to think clearly about a field where the claims have outrun the evidence.
Built for founders, executives, and their partners. Fits venture communities, accelerators, EO and YPO chapters, leadership retreats, and corporate organizations wanting a credible, zero-hype briefing.
WHAT HIGH PERFORMERS GET WRONG ABOUT PSYCHEDELICSA clear-eyed map of the whole terrain, from ketamine clinics and state-licensed programs to religious communities, retreats, and the underground. Matt cuts through the hype to explain how these settings differ, what the research supports and what it doesn't, and why preparation and integration matter more than the experience itself.
Built for anyone curious about these substances or trying to make sense of the options. Fits libraries, civic organizations and Rotary clubs, universities, lifelong learning programs, conferences, wellness and health events, and congregations exploring the terrain.
