Summary
Today, I'm joined by Megan Klein, founder of Little Saints—one of the most exciting brands in the non-alcoholic drink movement. In this hilarious and deeply insightful conversation, we dive into the intersection of psychedelics, brain mapping, and how to build a conscious beverage company from scratch.
Megan’s story is anything but ordinary. From her early days as an environmental lawyer to a full-blown spiritual awakening and multiple Holon brain mapping intensives, her entrepreneurial path is one of reinvention and purpose. She shares how she turned a pandemic-era mocktail into a booming brand and why she believes neurofeedback is the future of transformation.
We also tackle shifting drinking culture, the science of functional mushrooms, and how rituals can remain sacred—even without spirits.
