In this special Bicycle Day episode, Joe Moore and Kyle Buller sit down in person with author and podcaster Zach Leary to discuss his new book, Your Extraordinary Mind: Psychedelics in the 21st Century and How to Use Them. The conversation covers a wide range of timely and thought-provoking topics, including psychedelic overuse, spiritual emergencies, MAPS PS25, the evolving role of psychedelic churches, and the importance of integration.

Zach reflects on the legacy of his father, Timothy Leary, and shares his own journey through the psychedelic landscape—from early lessons with Ram Dass to his work as a facilitator and podcast host. Together, the trio explores the tensions between medicalization and mysticism, the growing need for psychedelic elders, and why accessibility and sustainability must be core values in today’s psychedelic movement.

Whether you’re new to the field or a longtime psychonaut, this episode offers valuable insight, humor, and hard-earned wisdom from one of the psychedelic community’s most thoughtful voices.

📖 Your Extraordinary Mind is available wherever books are sold (Available April 29, 2025).
