Psychedelics are one of the most effective tools to become a better leader, lover & listener.
I’ll tell you the why, the what, and the how.
Because tools are only useful if used with intention and understanding.

Unlock Your Potential with Paul F. Austin
As the founder of Third Wave and The Psychedelic Coaching Institute, I'm dedicated to inspiring a collaborative, socially entrepreneurial perspective that reintegrates purpose and meaning into our workplaces.
I firmly believe that psychedelics represent a technological tipping point, helping modern leaders remember what actually matters in life.
When used with skill and intentionality, psychedelics offer profound potential for personal growth, creative innovation, and professional transformation.
I've had the privilege of speaking at prestigious events such as SXSW, The Next Web, and Inc. 5000. I’ve also hosted the Psychedelic Podcast for 7+ years, interviewing hundreds of people about the impact of psychedelics on their personal and professional lives.
Beyond these ventures, my focus is centered on coaching, training, and public speaking. Through my work at the crossroads of psychedelic use, personal transformation, and professional success, I've earned recognition in publications like Business Insider, Forbes, and Rolling Stone, just to name a few.
Join me in this exploration of possibilities by learning how intentional psychedelic use can both transform our personal worlds while redefining our approach to leadership and professional fulfillment. Let's unlock the doors to a future where interconnectedness and abundance guide the narrative.

When I'm not immersed in these pursuits, you'll find me indulging in the simple joys of hiking, reading, cycling, and occasionally embarking on an insightful LSD trip.
“The Third Wave’s vision is a new and non-medical, non-spiritual way to make evident the benefits of safe and effective psychedelic use to the public in general. I am impressed with its integrity, inventiveness and value.”
“I’m a huge fan of Third Wave for their role in educating the masses on topics that most doctors aren’t allowed to speak about. It fills in a lot of the educational gaps regulations place on physicians and psychologists when it comes to discussing psychedelics.”
"Paul does a great job of deconstructing and synthesizing tricky subject matter—the stuff that would otherwise be out of reach for most. His presentation is stellar and he holds space on stage like a real pro."
“Third Wave offers a wonderful interactive training experience for those looking to become stronger in psychedelic-assisted therapy to learn critically important skills to become more effective facilitators. As any good clinician knows, our therapeutic practice is a lifelong journey and there will always be things that stump us along the way. These trainings help to provide community and useful tools for navigating the road ahead and becoming the best facilitators we can be.”
“Paul’s mission to normalize psychedelic substances through the lens of microdosing speaks to the growing relevance of these emerging technologies. In building The Third Wave, Paul has created an excellent platform for individuals who want to deepen their understanding of the role psychedelics play in optimal well-being”
“Paul F. Austin and Third Wave sit at a crucial crossroads where all that is – and all that will be – important intersects. Mental health, purpose, leadership, yes, even the future of humanity. It’s a comfort that such an informed, curious person occupies that spot, exploring, illuminating and asking the right questions and connecting the best people to shape our society as we march into this brave new world.”
In facilitating discussion around the intersection of psychedelic use, well-being, and emerging models of leadership, it’s my intention to open up conversation about the importance of legitimizing psychedelics for exploration of consciousness, personal development, and cultivating agency in the creative orientation.If you're interested in weaving my work into your event or conference, please reach out below.
