“There’s an endless number of ways to make money, but there’s not an endless number of ways to make money that will make you really happy.” - Frankie Fihn (click to tweet) Life is always a journey no matter where you are, what you do, or who you know. Sadly, we often lose sight of our journey because we are conditioned to focus on the dollar. It’s no secret that money doesn’t buy happiness. But as Robert Kanell said in a previous episode, “Having money helps, but it’s just a tool.” That’s why on today’s episode of Personal Development Without The Fluff, we are joined by Frankie Fihn to talk about finding the journey that is meant for you. Frankie is the entrepreneur behind many businesses like Sacred Plant Retreat—and in today’s episode, he unpacks the lifestyle that keeps you aligned with your purpose rather than a lifestyle overly focused on monetary gain. Tune in to this conversation to go deeper within and gain tools and knowledge that will help you figure out what you really want out of life.

When work feels like play, you’re going to be so much better off.” - Frankie Fihn (click to tweet)  The Cliff Notes: Knowing your purpose in your career is so much more important than just making a lot of money.Find what you are actually good at. Find what you enjoy. Find who you can serve and what they need.Look at business as a collaborative effort rather than a capitalist mindset.If we find the right questions to ask, we’ll know how to find the right answers.Your plan B career can fail just as much as plan A so you may as well invest in plan A.Recognize that some entrepreneurs can succeed by risking it all and putting all eggs in one basket, and other may succeed by slowly developing their business on the side of their day job. Having a voice of doubt is natural. Rather than trying so hard to resist and silence it, just learn to sit with it. Let it pass and know that they are just thoughts and you don’t have to agree with them. “What the world really needs is for you to innovate your gifts in a new way.” - Frankie Fihn (click to tweet)    Learn more about your ad choices.

Topics: Max has been in a working relationship with wachuma (san pedro), ayahuasca, changa (dmt), psilocybin mushrooms, iboga, morning glories, salvia, and other plant entheogens for a decade. How did Munay Medicine come to be? What is a typical stay like? Munay is in the Sacred Valley of Peru, a wonderful location with a number of retreat centers, convenient to Machu Picchu and other sacred sites. San Pedro vs. Peyote, the sustainability and eco-friendliness of San Pedro – can grow up to a meter per growing season. Can be propagated easily. The word wachuma translates to “removing the head” (wach- meaning “remove” and -uma meaning “head”) which metaphorically might mean the death of the ego. The word comes from Quechua, the language of the indigenous culture of the same name in the central Andes. As Maxwell told us, “The name San Pedro was an adaptation that came as a result of Catholic contact via Spanish conquistadors.” This is fascinatingly similar to the Bwiti tribe in Gabon who use ibogaine in a syncretic Christian-tribal tradition; it seems that part of the Andean adaptation to missionary influence was to rename this sacred plant after Saint Peter, implying that the entheogenic cactus holds the keys to the gates of heaven just as its new namesake, Saint Peter, is said to do. “Breaking open the Head”, Daniel Pinchbeck’s book about his initiation with the Bwiti (using Ibogaine). Max shares some of his backstory including trouble related to the illegality of plant medicine in the United States, which led to his moving to Peru.
