Summary

From Battlefield to Boardroom: The Journey of Chase Rowan

This week, Marcus and Melanie meet with the remarkable Chase Rowan—a former Army Ranger turned creative visionary, financial strategist, and vocal advocate for alternative healing. With a career spanning combat zones to creative studios and boardrooms, Chase embodies the spirit of resilience, innovation, and transformation.
Listen in on Chase’s powerful story of serving as an Army Ranger and the ridiculous challenges he faced returning to civilian life, healing the Invisible wounds, and his personal experiences with ibogaine and 5meo-DMT, and how these treatments helped him overcome addiction and trauma.
Chase discusses his work with the Texas Ibogaine Initiative and reveals why he’s passionate about sharing these solutions with fellow veterans.
Chase Rowan worked as a Land Development Project Manager for 17 years, helping build residential neighborhoods all over North Texas. He spent his career working for two of the largest land developers in Texas, managing everything from early planning and design to construction and final delivery of large-scale communities.

In This Episode You Will Hear:
•  I had a lot of experiences walking in on things no boy wants to walk in on. (12:45)
•  I’ve struggled with alcohol for a long time. But I did it kind of quietly, especially when I got in the military. (19:57)
• [While parachuting] I hit the runway going 40-50 mph. I had an 8” gash in the back of my head. I was out-unconscious. (30:44)
• There’s nothing worse than opioid withdrawal to me. (30:44)
• My sole focus when I got up, when I was deep in my addiction – my first thought was “How am I gonna get something?” (38:15)
• In 2016, my life was in shambles. I decided I needed help. (39:10)
• [Marcus] No matter how strong you are. It’s like being a prisoner of war. (41:47)
• I felt like such a failure, and so many times I thought about how much better my kids and my wife would be if I just ended my life. (53:26)
• When I was at my weakest, and I’d start crying, all of the sudden I’d feel power within me. (58:49)
• Being sober is a super power. (63:15)
• [Post Ibogaine treatment] I’ve never wanted to be alive more than I do now, and people need to know about this. (72:21)
• There’s nothing I like more than seeing people happy. (78:02)
• It’s not what you want. It’s what you need. (84:27)
• There are so many things that trauma is from, and this [Ibogaine] can heal it. (90:28)
