Learn what NLP really is, how the unconscious mind influences decisions, and practical ways to show up with presence, connection, and integrity while scaling a business. Matt shares his personal journey—from motocross athlete to trauma healing with cannabis and ayahuasca to building Elevated Executive, a bridge for conscious leaders across industries who want to leverage plant medicine safely and effectively.\nThe conversation dives into nervous system regulation, meditation, breath work, binaural beats, and visualization as tools to reduce overwhelm and overcome imposter syndrome. You’ll hear how stillness competes with productivity, why tapering substances and mindful routines matter, and how to cultivate a resilient mindset for long-term success. We also cover opportunities in emerging plant industries, the two main paths in this space (business support versus healing work), and how to build communities that elevate leadership. If you’re building a cannabis or plant-medicine focused business or curious about integrating these practices to lead more effectively, this episode is for you. Reach Matt at Inner Circle Biz or on LinkedIn to explore collaboration and growth in this evolving field.\nFind out more about Inner Circle Community at:\nhttps://innercircle.biz/\nhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/matthewritchey/\nhttps://www.linkedin.com/company/inner-circle-community/\n00:00 Introduction to the Podcast\n00:11 The Journey of Entrepreneurship\n01:36 Understanding NLP and Its Benefits\n02:20 The Power of Perception and Unconscious Mind\n06:19 Nervous System Regulation and Presence\n09:03 Meditation and Its Impact\n14:23 Productivity and Focus\n20:22 Elevated Executive: Tools for Success\n23:10 Personal Wellness Journey\n23:50...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/Nlxm0QKHrXkZaRTzk1hspsaKZ09jzx0wFKCGF_C375k/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS82ZWU3/YmZiMDM5Y2VhZTEw/ODE5ZDdjZWY4NTVi/Mjg1My5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
