Here is the transcript to today's episode:
Speaker 1: (00:00)
Anyway, Tennyson, thanks. Thanks so much for being with me here. This is, this is, I feel honored to have you here talking to you. How are you today?
Speaker 2: (00:09)
I'm doing really good. Thank you. And I so appreciate your invitation. I, uh, for the last six months or so have kind of been in hermit mode, so it feels really good to come out and be able to talk about everything, especially in relation to what I'm doing. Um, and I assume, you know, some of the subjects we'll get into today. So feeling good. I'm, I'm walking. It's sunny. Uh, couldn't be a better situation, really.
Speaker 1: (00:38)
So it, it was, it was really cool meeting you, like the way we did the other day, a couple weekends ago. It was super cool. And I remember you, um, your story is like, if I may say amazing, it was, uh, wait, you're, you're, you're at a park right now. Where are you?
Speaker 2: (00:55)
So, I'm at, I'm actually at the park across the street from Liberty.
Speaker 1: (01:00)
Oh,
Speaker 2: (01:01)
I, I realized I might get a little winded, if I tried to talk and walk at the same time. So
Speaker 1: (01:09)
Wait a minute. Wait, you're, you're at the park across the street from Liberty Park, kind of right? Where, yeah. Wait, where do you, where do you live exactly? Hold on.
Speaker 2: (01:18)
So here's 900 East, I think. Okay. Or eight eight East. Um, so I'm on like eight 50 east, just a block that way. Um, in between eighth and ninth course,
Speaker 1: (01:30)
Tenon, tenon, I'm, I'm right around the corner from you. We could have done this, we could have done this live. You could have come to my house. Oh my, I can't how close we are. I knew we live, I knew we both live in Salt Lake City, but we are literally like blocks away from each other as we speak right now. I could probably look out my window and wave to you
Speaker 2: (01:48)
. So, you know, you know Harrison Avenue then, right? That's, that's the street I'm on . Exactly. Oh my God.
Speaker 1: (01:55)
Okay. So when I was talking to you the other day, you, I came to, you had a little stand going and I was amazed cause I saw something about mushrooms and you, it seems like you own a mushroom company to say it, like probably the easiest, the simplest possible way, but, um mm-hmm. , I want to hear a little bit about that. And I want to hear about your story, cuz I know you've got, I know you've got a story that got you to where you are now, and I want, I want to hear about that.
Speaker 2: (02:23)
Okay. Yeah. So the company's name is actually, so magic Mou MOU is Chinese for mushroom. So, uh, there's a little bit of an attempt to incept into the mainstream, the idea of magic mushrooms. And of course that extends far beyond psilocybin, though I'm also, um, a huge proponent of psilocybin being something that is, uh, loved and respected and honored and not seem to be any different from anything else that people commonly use to enhance their wellbeing and ability to enjoy life. And so, of course, that's also a big piece of my story. Um, I, I would say almost 6, 5, 6 years ago now, I, um, was in the, the dark depths of depression. I had been diagnosed with severe depression and ptsd. Um, and it had really been something that kind of snuck under the surface as this undercurrent that I can very clearly see now painted most of my life...
