#27 Vismay Amrit: A lifelong stroll on the medicine path with Vismay Amrit
Vismay Amrit is one of those rare individuals who completely dismantles the expectations of society and forges a path that no other person has walked before him. Born in Israel but cultured in multiple countries around the world including India, Brazil, and now Costa Rica working with Ayahuasca in various ayahuasca and other medicine traditions, he now resides in Costa Rica where he operates and owns Florestral retreat center.
https://www.florestral.org . It is there he does his part to proliferate the generous distribution of medicinal plants around the world, runs retreats and also is currently constructing an amazing project which will be a world-class recording studio called Sacred Sound Studios https://www.sacredsoundstudios.org.
We talk about all of the above in this conversation and soon they will be launching a crowdfunding campaign for Sacred Sound Studios which you may have a chance to be a part of. This is one of my favorite conversations and I hope you enjoy it.

Daniel Cleland Podcast #9 | Solocast Pt 2: After Ayahuasca
Ayahuasca isn’t for everyone. But it’s for me and has been the platform of my entrepreneurial career for the past 10 years. All the trials and tribulations I unpacked in part 1 of the solocast lead me to the moment of my first Ayahuasca experience, and my life’s been completely different ever since. Welcome to part 2 of the journey: after ayahuasca. In this episode, you’ll hear how I filled gaps in my life I was unconscious to, rebuilt relationships with family, determined my purpose, developed my vision, and started multiple businesses with Ayahuasca serving as a container for each step along the way. I’m grateful to offer you this open and honest story of my life as a plant medicine entrepreneur.

Catherine Cleland is a travel blogger and expat who pushed the boundaries early in life. Catherine was hooked on travel early, deferring a typical career path to travel the world with her partner during her 20’s. It was motivating to hear how much diligence it took to pull it off. Plus, she’s my little sister, so it was a pleasure to sit down and talk about her philosophy on living this unconventional lifestyle. We cover the good and bad of world travel, experiencing Ayahuasca for the first time, and how to integrate Ayahuasca into your professional career. It was a heavy conversation meant for anyone exploring the world of expat living.

Daniel Cleland Podcast #5 | Solocast Pt 1: Before Ayahuasca Dennis McKenna
It’s easy to notice if you’re playing small. Maybe you feel inadequate, like you’re not contributing to the world at large, or maybe you’re just getting sick of living a comfortable life. Maybe you need adventure. Sometimes it takes half a lifetime to integrate these feelings into your experience. It did for me. Throughout our journeys, we almost always have a sense that something greater is calling. That calling led me to become an expat. This solocast dives deep into the origin of my journey to becoming an expat entrepreneur and outlines in detail the heavy amount of risk taking that came along the way. Welcome to part one of my story: before ayahuasca integration.
Dan discusses the healing benefits of ayahuasca & plant medicine & his entrepreneurial journey in the plant medicine industry. He talks with top minds like Aubrey Marcus, Dorian Yates, Dennis McKenna, & Patrick Bet-David.
