Gerard Adams' 1heart Ayahuasca Experience Stories

From An 8-Figure Startup Hustle To Living In Harmony & Fatherhood with Gerard Adams & Brandon Evans

Gerard Adams became a millionaire by 24. And being a New York City hustler cultivated a knack for playing big games. But after selling Elite Daily for $50 million, he was left empty and depressed. 1heart and his Ayahuasca experience shifted his perspective and allowed him to embody that everything he needs for wholeness is born within rather than done ‘out there.’ It’s been four years since he participated in our Ayahuasca retreat, and he continues to embody the balance between hustle and harmony.

Episode Description:

In our first episode, our Chief Elevation Officer, Brandon Evans, interviews Gerard Adams from Journey 2. Gerard is an entrepreneur, branding expert, philanthropist, TedX speaker, and business executive.

Should you decide to do so, we strongly suggest doing so with great reverence and respect for the medicine and the powerful effects it can create in your life. We also recommend anyone working with this medicine spend time preparing themselves before their ceremony(s) and have resources lined up to support them in their integration post-ceremony(s).
