Today’s guest is Richard Skaife. Richard is Founder of the Conscious Fund which invests in early stage startups pioneering plant powered medicine with a focus on psychedelics. To date, they have invested in startups such as ATAI Life Sciences, Bexson Biomedical, Cybin, Gilgamesh, Hive, Microdose, Numinus and more.

Connect with Richard: Richard on Twitter, Conscious Fund on Twitter, Richard on LinkedIn Other Links Mentioned: 1961 U.N. Drug Convention, https://maps.org/, Psychedelic Industry Job Board HERE ARE SOME OF THE THINGS WE TALKED ABOUT: Richard talks about his path to VC and how he ended up starting a plant-based medicine focused venture fund (the Conscious Fund). We talked about why he is drawn to the mental health space and specifically the psychedelics space. The Conscious Fund likes to invest in the earliest stages and looks for founders who have a true alignment with the psychedelic medicine space. They also participate all the way up to series-B as well. We walked through the regulatory landscape around psychedelics, why they are illegal, and we went all the way back to the 1961 U.N. Drug Convention. We talked about how we got to where we are legally, and where we are going from a regulatory perspective in this space. The amount of information around efficacy and safety is extensive and we’ve had a lot of that information for many decades and is now being resurfaced. We talked about the size of the startup market in the psychedelic medicine space. There are probably 140 to 160 companies in the space and there are more entering every day. WE talked about ancillary business opportunities outside of the compounds themselves as well. Richard explained where the white space in the industry is today. He talked about medical conditions that are not being serviced by other psychedelic medicine companies in areas such as joint pain or specific addictions, etc. He also talked about how wide the ancillary services market is for tech creation. The Conscious Fund launched a jobs board for the entire psychedelic space as well. Link here: https://theconscious.fund/psychedelic-industry-jobs/ We talked about the efficacy levels of psychedelics versus other treatments for things like mental health differences and addiction.

Greg Murphy. The man who missed a gear and still set the original Lap of the Gods. The undisputed King of Pukekohe. The fierce competitor that made the likes of Skaife and Ambrose sweat. But how does he go in a Mustang convertible in the snow? Well, you'll just have to listen to find out...
Officials are set to re-open an investigation into Supercars driver Fabian Coulthard's "disgraceful" actions during a late safety car period at the Bathurst 1000.It is believed stewards will take a second look at Coulthard's decision to slow down dramatically and hold up the field behind his Ford teammate Scott McLaughlin, who went on to claim his maiden Great Race on Sunday.Officials hit Coulthard with a drive-through penalty during the race for breach of safety car procedures but are expected to have a second look at the incident to see if it influenced the outcome of the 161-lap race.A then third-placed Coulthard controversially slowed down and backed up the rest of the field as top two Jamie Whincup and McLaughlin raced to their garage for a pit stop to get much-needed fuel during the safety car period with 26 laps left.At the time Coulthard looked to have ensured a two horse race between Whincup and McLaughlin for the title after his go slow approach during the yellow flag ensured a huge gap between a hard charging Shane van Gisbergen and the leading duo.Coulthard's snail's pace also ensured he avoided double stacking, or waiting behind his teammate McLaughlin in the pits.The team radio showed van Gisbergen was filthy about Coulthard's tactics. "Fabian is going stupidly slow," van Gisbergen said."Fabian should get a penalty for that, going stupidly slow. That was shocking."McLaughlin went on to hold out a fast-finishing van Gisbergen by 0.68 seconds to claim his first Bathurst crown.Supercars legend Larry Perkins branded Coulthard's actions as "disgraceful" on Sunday night.Coulthard may face further sanctions after stewards reopened the probe but his team, DJR Team Penske, dismissed the incident on Sunday night."Look I am not sure if that made the difference to who won the race," said American motorsport great Roger Penske, the majority owner of Coulthard's team DJR Team Penske."We can look at it and talk about it but it is secondary as far I am concerned when you think about it."Everyone had a chance, and the two top duelled it out in the end and the outcome was what we wanted."Coulthard's team boss Ryan Story insisted there was a problem with overheating in the car at the time of the controversy.Coulthard said he took it slow because he was unaware of the location of the incident which had caused the safety car. "I just got told they didn't know where the incident was and to take extreme caution," Coulthard said.Van Gisbergen clearly wasn't happy about the incident. "We certainly did get knocked down a few times today," Van Gisbergen said. "In the pits and then working back through the pack and got held up during the safety car by someone."It's pretty obvious what happened but we still would have had to fight it out with Jamie and Scott which would have been awesome and possibly closer but we were stuck behind traffic and more cars, but it is what it is.""That car (Coulthard) has been the sacrificial lamb all year (for DJR Team Penske)," he added.Supercars legend Mark Skaife said after the race that DJR Team Penske had used "gamesmanship" to keep McLaughlin ahead of van Gisbergen during his final pit stop."If you want to be glass half empty, you say they purposely slowed the whole field down to create the gap they needed to create to give the buffer they needed versus van Gisbergen," Skaife said."But also to give them a buffer to ensure they don't have to double stack. So if you want to play it all out, clearly there is a five car-length rule that you're supposed to observe. Clearly that was outside the rules. It was massive gamesmanship and I'm sure the was plenty of controversy from the Red Bull garage next door. There was a bit more gamesmanship than what we first thought."Scott McLaughlin leading the race.

SUMMARY In his first book, Yeoman Warder Christopher Skaife shares his unique role as The Ravenmaster: My Life with the Ravens at the Tower of London. Upholding traditions that have stood for centuries includes keeping and protecting six (or more) ravens on the grounds of the Tower. Each year, millions of tourists come to see these famous corvids. Personally responsible for the corvids, Skaife shares for the very first time an intimate look behind the scenes, describing the ravens’ unique personalities, antics, and escapades at the Tower of London. KEY MOMENTS The ravens “pick” Skaife instead of the other way around. The former Ravenmaster identifies Skaife as one the ravens like, and his attraction and mettle are tested by being invited to enter into the enclosure for the ravens. For the first time in history, in 2019 a raven breeding program begins, and four ravens are hatched at the Tower of London. Skaife blows up social media when he starts a Twitter account with one picture of the ravens on his Twitter account (@ravenmaster1). And so begins his connection with people all around the world who share his fascination with corvids. Skaife is appointed as the only sixth Ravenmaster in modern history. Merlin (AKA “Merlina”), a naughty raven, comes to the Tower where she gains the trust of Skaife and builds a special bond with him. In 2014 at the Tower of London, England commemorates the beginning of the first world war by putting 88,246 ceramic poppies into the moat, each representing a soldier who died in the war. QUOTES FROM SKAIFE “As the Ravenmaster, I’ve been granted a privileged insight into the life and behavior of some of the world’s most extraordinary nonhuman creatures….They’re surprisingly like us: they are versatile, adaptable, omnivorous; they are capable of great cruelty and great kindness; and on the whole they manage to get along with one another.” “Legend says, should the ravens leave the Tower of London, it will crumble to dust, and a great harm will befall the kingdom.” “Ravens are some of the most intelligent birds on the planet.” “I’ve seen ravens express, joy and sorrow, pain and pleasure. I have seen them learn and remember and solve challenges involving principles of cause and effect, I know them to be capable of self-sacrifice, of caring, chivalry, and great courage.” “Ravens are a law unto themselves—and they’re not here for our entertainment.” “When people ask what it’s like being the Ravenmaster, I sometimes say that it’s like going to a supermarket with seven young children, all of whom run off up and down the aisles in different directions. You have to be keyed up and switched on the whole time. You have to develop a sixth sense.” “Searching for the birds when they go missing is a bit like a game of hide-and-seek. Except you’ve got eighteen acres of the Tower to search. And you’re looking for a creature that can fly. And blends into the shadows.” BUY "The Ravenmaster: My Life with the Ravens at the Tower of London" by Christopher Skaife RECOMMENDATION Find Christopher Skaife on social media: Twitter: @ravenmaster1 Facebook: @chrisskaife Instagram: @ravenmaster1 Watch the Ravenmaster with six-week-old Poppy, the newest raven at the Tower of London.

What’s spookier than the Tower of London, home to the ghosts of queens and the rest of Henry the VIII’s enemies? How about the half-dozen black ravens that inhabit it—without which, as legend has it, the Tower will crumble and the kingdom will fall? Since there haven’t been dead bodies littering the Tower Green for centuries, someone has to keep the ravens alive—and that person is the Ravenmaster, Christopher Skaife. As a Yeoman Warder, Skaife is one of the custodians of the Tower’s rich history and traditions, and he joins us to offer a bird’s-eye view of his life among the ravens.Go beyond the episode:Christopher Skaife’s The RavenmasterRead an excerpt about the birds’ daily routineFollow Merlina the raven (with help from the Ravenmaster) on TwitterFor more scary tales, read ex-Yeoman Warder Geoffrey Abott’s book, Ghosts of the Tower of London For photographs that Skaife says “come very close to capturing the true majesty and mystery of the birds,” see Masahisa Fukase’s Ravens seriesBehold, the funerals of crowsFor one of the “best books in the world on bird behavior,” according to Skaife, see Nathan Emery’s Bird Brain, and for dozens more recommended books on the Tower and its inhabitants, see the “Suggested Reading” section at the back of The RavenmasterTune in every week to catch interviews with the liveliest voices from literature, the arts, sciences, history, and public affairs; reports on cutting-edge works in progress; long-form narratives; and compelling excerpts from new books.
