Raad discusses how capital has been weaving itself into psychedelic businesses, how it has influenced them, and how our addiction to scale might be getting in the way of genuinely transforming our society in a good way. We also speak about minority voices and the hard truths about where the psychedelic space is at with diversity and inclusivity and what we can do about it.
