Hey, Power Athlete Nation.

I have a cool podcast in store for you today.

We have Mr. Justin LaPrie.

Justin is founder of Heroic Path to Light.

And here in Austin Dripping Springs, it's a sacred medicinal church, kind of interesting

legality we'll get into where he's created his own church that has to do with taking

people on these heroic journeys using plant-based medicine and psychedelics.

So it turns out Justin is a neighbor of mine.

We got connected through Dr. Parsley, and he is a former U.S. Marine veteran,

fought in the war in Fallujah, became a firefighter here in Austin,

and now is an advocate for mental health for veterans and first responders and is helping cure depression

and just adding existence in light and just trying to take people on a journey of discovery.

So I'm stoked to have him come on down and sit in the podcast room and dig into a little bit of what he's doing.

As you guys might not know, I'm not extremely well versed in this, but I'm fascinated by it.

And more importantly, anything that improves human connection and performance and just allows us to be better versions of herself.

Mr. Justin LaPrie, the sanctuary?

No, it's called heroic path to light. Heroic path to light. That doesn't sound cultish or anything. Heroic path to light. Yeah, that's right. It's not a, is it a cult? It is not a cult. It's for, it's all, it's it's for veterans first responders gold star widows
