The Stardust sportsbook robbery, which occurred in Las Vegas, Nevada, is one of the most infamous heists in the city's history. Here's a summary of the event:Incident Summary:Date: The robbery took place on September 20, 1992.Location: The target was the sportsbook at the Stardust Resort and Casino, a well-known establishment on the Las Vegas Strip.Execution:Perpetrator: The robbery was orchestrated by Bill Brennan, a sportsbook cashier at the Stardust. Brennan had been employed there for several years, which gave him insider knowledge and access to the cash.Heist Details: On the day of the robbery, Brennan walked out of the casino with $500,000 in cash and chips. He simply placed the money in a bag and left, exploiting his position and the lack of stringent security measures at the time.Aftermath:Disappearance: Brennan disappeared without a trace immediately after the robbery. Despite extensive searches and investigations by law enforcement, he was never found.Investigation: The FBI and local police conducted an in-depth investigation, interviewing Brennan's colleagues and associates, but no significant leads emerged.

In this episode, Kyle interviews Alex Belser, Ph.D. and Bill Brennan, Ph.D.: psychologists, psychedelic researchers, authors, and co-creators of the EMBARK model, a framework for psychedelic therapy.  When Belser and Brennan worked together at Cybin, they canvassed the field of psychedelic research and saw very little reporting (if any) of the manuals researchers were using, so they created the EMBARK model as a "big tent" framework – a way to understand what patients were going through from the perspective of six different clinical domains, where the clinician can go deeper into whichever domain is needed based on their specific skill sets. The EMBARK model has been used in four Cybin trials to date, and its corresponding book, EMBARK Psychedelic Therapy for Depression: A New Approach for the Whole Person (co-authored by Belser and Brennan), was released in April.  They discuss:  The six domains and four ethical care cornerstones that make up EMBARK, as well as the many proposed change mechanisms that come into play Concerns over facilitators stepping aside and letting the medicine do the work: How much of a factor is someone's presence in the room? How much smaller, "little t" traumas can affect people – trauma doesn't always come from a single hallmark event The need for facilitators to be trained well (and trauma-informed), as it's nearly impossible to tell when an adverse outcome is coming and more!

In this episode, Alex Belser, PhD joins us to discuss how psychedelics can help LGBTQIA+ people heal from bigotry and embracing their identity. After seeing him speak on stage at the Denver Psychedelic Science Convention on the topic of Queering Psychedelics, I knew we needed to have him on Open Deeply along with his co-presenter, Justin Natoli, who was our guest on episode 44. So much was discussed in this episode including how psychedelics can potentially help with the coming out process. And we didn't shy away from the dark history of psychedelics. For instance, did you know that psychedelics have been used unethically in tandem with conversion therapy in attempt to rewire sexual orientation? Horrible, but true. And finally, we discussed what the kink and psychedelic communities can learn from one another. All this and more as once again we dare to Open Deeply. Bio: Alex Belser, PhD is a clinical scientist, author, and licensed psychologist with a focus on psychedelic research. At Yale University, he's a Co-Investigator for a study investigating psilocybin treatment for people with OCD. He has explored the potential of novel therapies using psilocybin, MDMA, ketamine, and DMT to help alleviate human suffering and treat specific indications, including depression, anxiety, addiction, and PTSD. His most recent book: EMBARK Psychedelic Therapy for Depression: A New Approach for the Whole Person, co-authored with Dr. Bill Brennan, will be published later this year by Oxford University Press. Dr. Belser has co-founded a number of leading psychedelic organizations, including the NYU Psychedelic Research Group in 2006; Nautilus Sanctuary, the first non-profit on the East Coast dedicated to psychedelic medicine; and Adelia Therapeutics, where he served as Chief Clinical Officer (CCO). He also served as CCO at Cybin, where he chaired the Scientific Advisory Board. His other main area of interest is mental health for LGBTQIA+ people—his last book is Queering Psychedelics: From Oppression to Liberation in Psychedelic Medicine. His work has been featured in the media, with coverage in the New York Times, the Atlantic, the New Yorker, The Guardian, Forbes, Rolling Stone Magazine, and in Michael Pollan's book, "How to Change Your Mind." Dr. Belser is a hatha and kundalini yoga teacher. He studied at Georgetown, Cambridge, Columbia, NYU, and Yale University.

Join Mike Goodpaster as he gives you the story of Boxer Billy Miske, who found out as a teenager that he had a terminal disease but continued to fight on. Miske retired in 1923 because his disease was so debilitating that he could no longer train anymore. He would return a year and a half later to fight Heavyweight contender Bill Brennan because he wanted to give his family one last great Christmas. Billy won the fight while dying and being unable to train. The fight was November the 7th, his family had one last great Christmas, and Billy passed away a week later.The story of Billy Miske shows that people can overcome any adversity, and we live in a day and age where guys like Billy Miske are almost non-existent. Miske was a man that in October 1924 was on his deathbed and couldn't even train but requested one last fight on November 7th so his wife and kids could have one last great Christmas. Not only did he fight that fight, he won that fight! On top of all that, he died one week later on New Year's Day. Miske had fought most of his career with a debilitating disease that would eventually end his life. Miske's toughness through all of this was incredible and hard even to fathom.Make sure you bookmark this page for even more content like this that you will not get anywhere else.
