This isn't about sets and reps. Mycal Anders (@coachderz) is the owner of Crossfit PHX, father, ex-Marine and podcaster (@feedmefuelme). After we dive into his upbringing and background, I asked Mycal to describe a very unique experience that he had recently. In 2017, he was invited to a veterans only retreat during which he experienced hallucinogens for the first time in his life. The benefits were plentiful and he shares the entire experience here. Vulnerability is the name of the game.   Highlights:  - Upbringing in a military family - Getting kicked out of the Air Force Academy   - The exact moment he knew he wanted to serve our country - The veterans only retreat that led to his first experience with hallucinogens.  He goes DEEP here and is very open about the experience! - The leader of the retreat telling him that he was very restless and was going to have a rough time - The meaning of "Bring me peace" and how it was instrumental during the experience - The clarity that the experience brought him on having closure and not playing the ‘what if’ game with your life
