We're kicking off our inaugural Laughter Is Medicine retreat today at Coral Cove Wellness Resort in Jamaica and recorded this live podcast to capture the pre-retreat vibe. My co-host Andy Sudbrock of Sacred Path Retreats returns to the Mycopreneur Podcast to share insights from the legal psilocybin mushroom retreat industry in Jamaica, post-hurricane recovery efforts, and the growing role of laughter and play in the psychedelic retreat space.

Cullom Cahill is a mushroom woodworker who I first discovered on TikTok. He brings his background as a carpenter into the mycomaterials space, evolving from early experiments using Ecovative home grow mycelium bricks to now having a product line of lampshades made out of reishi mycelium. This is the first podcast recording that's come out of our weekly Mycopreneur Incubator, meaning this session was recorded with a live audience.
