Episode 25 — Damian Schechter (@damian_theallrounder) joins James Xander (@emperorjames) on The James Xander Trip, for a deep, DMT-infused conversation about his psychedelic adventures with Changa, Ayahuasca, San Pedro, Kambo, and other plant medicines, and what he's learned from each one.

Thank you Damian for joining me for a second time on the podcast, and sharing wisdom and experiences with me. Always a pleasure.

Tune into episode #18 to hear the first conversation I had with Damian, where we dove into his experiences with breathwork and mushrooms (psilocybin).

Unlock God Mode is the best way to go deeper with me beyond the guest interviews on The James Xander Trip. It’s a 30-day journey with more than 10 hours of transmissions and practical exercises, distilled from my own spiritual path, psychedelic explorations, and the wisdom of my teachers and mentors.

Think of it as a 30-day initiation into living from your highest self. Instead of just listening to me interview someone, you and I walk side by side through the exact practices that have transformed my life.
