The psychedelic renaissance is booming, but who’s keeping it honest?
Dennis Walker, founder of Mycopreneur, joins Jason Najum on the Human Journeys Podcast to explore the role of satire, humor, and independent thinking in the psychedelic space. As a self-described “modern-day court jester”, Dennis uses comedy to challenge corporate power, expose hypocrisy, and advocate for small mushroom entrepreneurs driving an increasingly commercialized industry.
This is a conversation about what psychedelic healing looks like outside the clinical setting and why fun, creativity, and personal agency might be just as impactful as any ceremony.
