| 0:13.6 | recording here. Hi, Kyle. Hey, Joe. Hi, everybody. So, today we're going to talk about psychedelic professionalism. |
| 0:24.0 | It's a very interesting time in the psychedelic space. |
| 0:28.1 | Well, perhaps it's been interesting the whole time. |
| 0:31.1 | But things are going on that look quite unprofessional. |
| 0:35.8 | And I think we could all learn a little bit from what |
| 0:39.6 | you know professional mental health care looks like and apply it a little bit to this psychedelic |
| 0:44.2 | world what a what are your like main thoughts Kyle about like what does good professional |
| 0:50.7 | facilitation look like that's a good question and I think it's like kind of somewhat subjective because this is a new |

| 1:48.0 | But yeah, and you know, there's so many different ways to approach this work. I mean, some people |
