Introducing The Trippy Report: Deep-Dive Content That Expands Your Mind, Reveals The Invisible, & Feels Like A Psychedelic Journey
Delivered to your inbox. Every month.

It was October 28, 2020 and everything was blue.
Blue water. Blue skies. And, blue emotions.
Lately, I had been writing like a maniac.
At least eight hours per day. Phone in airplane mode. No showers or deodorant for days.
I was so deep "in the weeds" with my writing passion that I forgot why I was writing in the first place.
This was very frightening.
I was scared that I was wasting my life, but as they say, "A strong why justifies any how." So I pleaded with my inner self, "What is your WHY, Connor? WHY does this matter? What is this all about?"
Then, it hit me.
Plain and simple.
Why do I write? I write to trip people out on being alive.
What does that mean?
If you inspect the greatest moments in your life—and human history—you will discover a fundamental presence of awe.
But, somewhere along the way in your life, you lost your sense of awe.
You stopped asking questions.
You took things for granted.
You became tranquilized by the trivial.
Your mystery of life became mundane and monotonous.
Why The Trippy Report Exists & What To Expect
The Trippy Report exists to re-awaken that fundamental presence of awe — within you.
As compared to the practical microteachings of Neurons, The Trippy Report is a longer form deep dive into fascinating rabbit holes.
So, let's dive into a rabbit hole right away: language.
The definition of "trippy" in the Merriam-Webster Dictionary is: "trippy (adjective): of, relating to, or suggestive of a trip on psychedelic drugs"
Now, let's follow the rabbit.
What is the definition and etymology (root words) of psychedelic?
psychedelic (adjective): producing expanded consciousness through heightened awareness and feeling; from Greek psykhē "mind" (see psyche) + dēloun "make visible, reveal"
And there we have it.
Reading The Trippy Report is like embarking on a psychedelic trip.
You will enter an invisible world that is unknown to your everyday senses and thoughts.
Your mind will be expanded.
And you will not return the same person.
I will know that I've successfully done my job if these words come out of your mouth, "Woah, what the f$ck!? I never knew that! In fact, I was completely blind to that. How is that real? How is that possible? What the fuck is life? I have to learn more about this."
Each month, I will publish a Trippy Report covering topics such as groundbreaking science, practical spirituality, ancient wisdom, meditation, personal development, timeless philosophy, and much much more.
I hope you read it in an open and receptive state.
Whether that means reading The Trippy Report over your morning cup of matcha tea, coffee, or ceremonial cacao; or shortly after a microdose of shrooms or cannabis...your choice. But don't read The Trippy Report with the same level of stressed-out-monkey-mind that is typically in charge of your life.
Lastly, take notes and take action.
If The Trippy Report stirs something inside of you, follow that feeling where it leads you. A treasure awaits.
Remember,. I am merely introducing the rabbit holes. But, as the legendary shaman Don Howard says, "There's always more."
If you have ever wondered how your body correctly knew to grow your nose on your face INSTEAD of on your ass, then you will love The Trippy Report.
And if you have never asked that question before—like most average people—then you need The Trippy Report.
It's time to start tripping out.
Again.
May you live an extraordinary life.
I'll be Reporting back soon.
Love, Connor
P.S. - I am launching a (free) program to teach you how to create your own self-guided musical meditation track called a Compass. Your Compass is a tool created by you and for you that teaches yourself how to live. It's the MOST effective personal growth strategy I've ever experienced. The second cohort starts Dec. 1st.
