Hi, it's Brian Rose, and welcome to London Real.

If you're listening to this podcast, it means that you're excited about learning and creating real change.

Well, me too. That's why I started broadcasting this show eight years ago.

And over that time I've learned that change only happens when you take action.

Maybe you've been thinking about what steps you could take in order to live a better life. But you're feeling stuck or don't know where to start.

I understand and that's why I created the London Real Academy to help people take that first

step towards everything from starting their own

business to recording their first podcast to speaking publicly or just

to leading a healthier more productive lifestyle and today I'm offering you a free one-to-one phone call with one of my

London Real Academy coaches who can speak with you directly about your personal

challenges and how we can help. There is no cost for this and no obligation.

So if you're ready to take action go to Londonreal. TV.

they often have really really serious side effects. But I was first introduced

to the therapeutic use of psychedelics, when my friend suddenly depression just bowled her over.

She decided to go and go to Peru and have Iowaasca.

She came back and she just was radiating her through self, her old self.
