Ari in the Air Podcast, September 2020
Tania is an inspirational speaker, opera singer, business woman and social entrepreneur. She is the co-founder of Mind Medicine Australia, a non-profit working to legalise psychedelics for clinical use in Australia. Her history is quite unlikely for such an endeavor, which makes it all the more interesting. In this episode we talk about her own journey into psychedelics as well as my own, we talk about the frightening state of discourse in the world and what it’s like to hold contrarian views that oppose the current mob of group thinkers. This is an awesome episode and I’m stoked to bring it to you. Listen to the podcast here
