Brandon Evans. From Tech CEO to running Ayahuasca retreats.

Ayahuasca Podcast

In this episode of Ayahuasca Podcast, host Sam Believ (founder of www.lawayra.com) has a conversation with Brendan Evans.

Brendan is the CEO and co-founder of One Heart, an organization dedicated to guiding leaders through transformative experiences that foster personal growth and elevate consciousness. Before founding One Heart, Brendan built two successful tech companies in New York but found that conventional success did not bring the fulfillment he anticipated, leading him to discover Ayahuasca and embark on a deeper path of self-discovery.

We touch upon topics such as:

• Brendan’s journey from tech entrepreneur to Ayahuasca facilitator (00:43 - 03:45)
• Challenges of misalignment and burnout in high-achievers (04:51 - 06:47)
• How Ayahuasca helps leaders align with their true purpose (07:17 - 09:50)
• The importance of integration and community in plant medicine work (11:16 - 13:42)
• Choosing the right retreat and facilitators for a safe experience (14:24 - 17:13)
• Common misconceptions about Ayahuasca, such as purging and major life changes (45:57 - 49:14)
• Brendan’s thoughts on spirituality, karma, and what happens after death (38:44 - 41:29)
• Running an Ayahuasca retreat: challenges and rewards (20:29 - 25:41)
• Advice for aspiring retreat facilitators (21:01 - 22:57)
