Psychedelics and Business with Bijou Finney

"I'm not one of these extremely 'woo woo' people who start
speaking and you're like, 'What the hell are you talking about?'
I'm making this a little more accessible," says Bijou Finney, who
teaches "conscious entrepreneurship" for businesses and business
leaders through a plant-based therapy that revolves around
psychedelics. As a former brand designer and videographer, she
understands the challenges faced by creative professionals, and
believes that the key to success in life and business is aligning
yourself with your true nature and purpose.


Psychedelics, she says, achieve this by clearing out all the
blockage caused by past traumas and old emotional wounds. This
allows us to get quiet enough to find out what we truly want and
who we truly are, without any outside noise. As a result, we can
become not only better business people, but more mindful of how
our work impacts those around us.


On this episode of A Little Impolite, hear Bijou discuss the
lingering stigma surrounding psychedelics, the power of sitting
still in silence, and how to get to the next level in the video
game of life.


Quotes


• "I felt like entrepreneurs maybe needed to focus on being
conscious entrepreneurs. Like how does my business affect the
world around me? How do my choices affect the world around me?"
(15:11-15:27 | Bijou)


• “You're able to have the creativity and ability to see problems
from a different perspective because it takes you away from
yourself. You're able to actually step back from yourself. So,
it's almost like a coaching situation where the coach can see
what's going on easier than you can. (44:14-31 | Bijou)


• "It starts with microdosing. Little bits that allow you to feel
safe in your own skin to allow you to drop deeper into yourself
really allow you to like, dip your toe in and get safe with the
mushrooms and feel like they are your ally. (47:24-47:40 | Bijou)


• "I get so passionate about rebranding psychedelics because
we—especially women—hold everything inside of us, which literally
leaves very little room for new versions of ourselves to bloom."
(51:03-51:19 | Bijou)


• "Everybody's psychedelic journey is completely different, and
they need to feel supported and have clarity around what's
possible for them to actually go down that path. Because before
it's very dark and murky and scary." (1:05:26-1:05:40 | Bijou)


• "Your money and your love and your sex are the same thing:
they're energy. You either have blocks in them or you don't."
(1:24:26- 1:24:31 | Bijou)
