He views psychedelics as refined skills cultivated through mentorship, exploration, and purposeful use—critical for humanity's ongoing evolution.

As the longest-standing and youngest entrepreneur in this field, Paul's focus on merging psychedelics with professional development is evident in his transformative training program Psychedelic Coaching Institute The program caters to individuals who seek to integrate their psychedelic experiences into their business practices, all under the guidance of one of the industry’s most trusted leaders.
