“The Psychedelic CEO” is a metaphor for anyone who has explored a deep path of self-discovery, and has arrived at a broader understanding of what it means to be a heart-centered human leader in their own life. While there are many paths to self-discovery, psychedelic medicine, specifically Ayahuasca, is possibly the most efficient, powerful healing technology on the planet today. The current definitions of ‘achievement and success’, being primarily ego-driven and goal-oriented, are an overhang of the patriarchal, mechanistic mindset which has dominated mankind over the past 5 centuries. I call this the ‘dinosaur mindset’, which drives us to be exceptional, as exemplified by the culture of the “CEO”. In its darkest form, this mindset is aforever rapacious desire to achieve, acquire, consume, and discard, oblivious to the looming consequences. But it is a mindset headed for extinction.
Murray is leading a reawakening in what it means to lead others in local and global organizations of all sizes and sectors. Leading with his own lived experience, he is helping fellow executive leaders breakthrough old power and ego narratives with the support of ancient wisdom and plant medicine modalities. The result is profound personal healing that creates heightened abilities and capacity to inspire and lead others to be the best versions of themselves and consequently achieve extraordinary results together.

In my career as an exploration geologist, company founder, and CEO, I have experienced personal and corporate value creation and destruction. Failures were inevitably due to endemic fear, power and ego-driven behaviours (including my own!), lurking behind the guise of ‘leadership’.
I believe strongly that the tools used by the leadership development industry, which include books, seminars, coaching, workshops and even therapy, often lack a fundamental element: they cannot fully overcome the barriers to the deep self-knowledge that is required of true leadership.
My lifetime journey towards my own truth lead me to explore ever deeper into the shamanic world of Amazon psychedelic plant medicine, Ayahuasca. Over a two-week period in Costa Rica, I participated in 8 ceremonies totalling 3.5 full days in an altered state of consciousness. During this extraordinary journey into the unknown, I was shown that the medicine could become a valuable tool for developing true leaders in business, and in life.

Having been ceremoniously confronted by the spirit of mother Ayahuasca with the limitations of the masculine psyche, Murray Rodgers- conventionally successful leader turned psychonaut - was able to dig deep and tap the bottomless well of creativity, augering a fresh, non-binary approach to life. In the process he envisioned a new leadership- a marriage of the masculine and feminine energies- with a profound connection to the source of all creativity. In the process, he envisioned a holistic path towards a new leadership, capable of creative solutions to a world on the brink. Rodgers’ new CEO is of a different breed- Conscious, Empathetic, Open- and the true governed body is the self. The Psychedelic CEO is an entertaining introduction to the Wild Wild West of psychedelics, a diagnosis of the modern malady, and a prescription for snatching harmony from the jaws of chaos. Ladies and gents, fasten your seat-belts and prepare for blast-off.

It is my experience and belief that psychedelics, when experienced in a safe and sacred setting, can be readily adapted to and applied within the context of both personal and business leadership, with the goal being to bring our hearts, souls, and minds into a state of peace, harmony, creativity and wisdom.
Fast forward to today … I continue to explore, both externally, and internally.I am a co-founder of Kingfisher Energy, focusing on hydrogen and helium exploration on a global scale. The leadership principles of Consciousness, Empathy and Openness are cornerstones of our culture.
I also host and guide business leaders through transformative workshops and retreats at my Valhalla Retreat Centre in the Alberta foothills and in Costa Rica. There are many gateways to higher states of consciousness, which can also include body, breath, sound, and silence. It is never 'one size fits all'. Facilitating these experiences and guiding my clients on their path to self-discovery has become an integral part of my life.
Outside of this work, I sometimes teach yoga to men, still perform as a musician, and am even co-producing a documentary pilot called *The Alpha Myth*.
