    Trauma, Transformation, and Truth: A Conversation with Paul Hutchinson on Healing Approaches
    2025/07/15
    On today’s episode of Webdelics, host Scott Mason sits down with Paul Hutchinson—philanthropist, executive producer of the movie "Sound of Freedom," and passionate advocate for ending child trafficking and cycles of abuse. Paul shares the extraordinary path that led from his early ambitions to become a surgeon, through his rise as the founder of a multi-billion dollar investment fund, to ultimately dedicating his life to undercover rescue missions around the world. Paul opens up about the harrowing realities of child trafficking, recounting firsthand experiences from over 70 undercover missions across 15 countries. He also shares how witnessing such darkness pushed him toward deep healing work, including transformative journeys with plant medicine—specifically psilocybin—which not only helped him process trauma but also guided him to a holistic vision of healing at both the personal and global level. This episode explores the intersections of trauma, abuse, and the power of plant medicine to spark genuine transformation. Paul offers heartfelt insights into the emotional toll of his work, the importance of compassion (even for perpetrators), and the critical role of healing our own inner children to break cycles of suffering. Tune in for a conversation that challenges, inspires, and calls each of us to join the movement to liberate both ourselves and others. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 🤓 See What We’re Working On Get the Newsletter https://theguide-newsletter-webdelics.beehiiv.com/subscribe ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 📧GET IN TOUCH Send Us A Message - admin@webdelics.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 🎉 Check Out Other Awesome Content from our Webdelics: https://youtu.be/dZoVb8lcp8k https://youtu.be/MFzkU6jd-wM https://youtu.be/odsB6qIy32o ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 🔔 Follow Us On Socials: https://www.webdelics.com/ https://www.facebook.com/webdelics/ https://twitter.com/webdelics https://www.youtube.com/ @webdelics https://www.linkedin.com/company/webdelics/ https://www.instagram.com/webdelics/

    2025/07/09
    Welcome to Webdelics, the podcast where we challenge myths and uncover the truth about plant medicine. In this episode, host Scott Mason sits down with Neil Markey—an Army Ranger turned corporate leader, entrepreneur, and plant medicine retreat facilitator—for a deeply personal conversation about elitism, burnout, and finding meaning beyond material success.

Together, Scott and Neil explore how environments of high achievement can create separation and unhappiness—not just for those striving at the top, but for everyone affected by a culture of “more is better.” But there’s hope—Neil discusses how practices like meditation and therapeutic plant medicine experiences, especially with psilocybin mushrooms, helped him gain perspective, reconnect with purpose, and reimagine his life. He offers practical insights on how to break free from toxic patterns, intentionally reshape relationships, and find fulfillment, no matter your background.
