I love experiencing magic and pushing the boundaries for what’s possible.

It makes life more fun and interesting.

One of the ways this shows up is noticing extraordinary phenomena. These can be everything from unexplained synchronicities to directly experiencing extra sensory perceptions (ESP).

Most people write these off, chalking them up to random coincidence or flukes.

But some people get curious. 

They wonder if they can recreate that experience in some way. So they start experimenting and exploring new things.

This gradually refines their understanding of what’s possible and results in new approaches to creating positive results in their life.

Today’s guest Cyan Banister brings this type of curiosity and experimentation to exploring consciousness and human potential. 

Cyan is one of the most prolific early stage investors of our time having invested in SpaceX, Uber, Postmates amongst many others. She was the first female partner at Peter Thiel’s Founders Fund and now is a partner at Long Journey Ventures. 

I was interested in Cyan on the show to understand how her consciousness journey has shaped her approach to her career and life.
