This week on The Conscious Consultant Hour, Sam welcomes Will Burkhart, a Naval Academy graduate, former Marine Corps Intelligence Officer, explorer, and founder of Badass Coaching and Badass Adventures.
From combat zones in the Middle East and Africa to wilderness expeditions and psychedelic ceremonies, Will has devoted his life to exploring the edges of human potential. Now, as a Co-Active Certified Professional Coach, he helps others access their own inner power, courage, and freedom through adventure, awareness, and expanded consciousness.
In this electrifying conversation, Will shares how his path from military intelligence to mindfulness, from structure to surrender, has shaped a radical approach to transformation.
He discusses the difference between expanded consciousness and altered consciousness, and what it means to live a psychedelic-catalyzed life, one in which awe, presence, and curiosity are part of everyday existence. Through his retreats and coaching, Will invites people to move beyond peak experiences and into an ongoing state of flow, creativity, and connection.
Together, Sam and Will explore the evolving role of psychedelics in personal and collective growth, from micro- and flow-dosing to creative approaches to set and setting that integrate art, sound, movement, and nature. This episode challenges listeners to redefine what it means to be truly alive, to live not from fear or limitation, but from the wild, awakened center of their being.
