Honor Your Calling Today - Exploring Psychedelics, Creativity, Fame and Shamanism

In this episode...

Would you dismantle your life to follow your calling? Because this weeks guest Quddus Philippe did just that. After experiencing the void beneath external success as an MTV host, Quddus discovered sound meditation and psychedelics as bridges back to his authentic self. Through shamanic training and years of devoted practice, he's now guiding others through immersive sound journeys designed to reconnect them with their inner truth.


In this conversation, we explore the science and power of sound, psychedelics, and creativity, and how they can help you connect more deeply with yourself and your purpose. Quddus evens shares his profound and deeply personal experience in Egypt's King's Chamber, and reveals the daily practices that keep him grounded. He also challenges the myth of fame, explores the creative process behind breakthrough artists like Kanye West and Adele, and offers a roadmap for anyone stepping into their calling. Whether you're struggling with authenticity, seeking deeper meaning, or curious about the transformative power of sound, this conversation will shift how you understand presence, belief, and the divine design of your life.
