How To Let Your Authenticity Guide Your Career

In this episode Bart interviews Ronan Levy, Founder and Executive Chairman of Field Trip Health, one of the world's leading psychedelic companies, about his non-traditional career choices. Ronan, who began his professional career a corporate lawyer, soon found himself hating his working life, and set out on a series of risky yet authentic ventures in pursuit of fulfilment. From working in the music business, to a stint at an online dating site he won't name (!) to becoming a pioneer in cannabis, Ronan has had a lifetime of experiences. His insights help make clear that even if you aren't always successful, following your authentic passion will make you more fulfilled along the way.
