Is Microdosing the ultimate performance hack? In this episode of Not For The Average, Trent has another illuminating chat with leading psilocybin coach Brian AKA "the Fun-gi".
Now, what if I told you that taking a tiny, sub-perceptual dose of psychedelics could unlock higher focus, creativity, emotional balance, and even help with trauma and addiction recovery? Sounds pretty wild, right? But for thousands of years, ancient cultures have been using these substances for healing and spiritual growth—and now, modern science is finally catching up.
In this episode, we’ll break down what microdosing is, how it works, and the potential benefits and risks. We’ll explore different protocols, the latest research, and how some of the world’s greatest minds—think Albert Hofmann, Paul Stamets, and Dr. James Fadiman—have championed this practice.
Whether you’re curious about enhancing your productivity, mental clarity, or emotional resilience, or you’re just here for the deep dive, this episode is going to challenge the way you think about personal growth and performance.
So buckle up, keep an open mind, and let’s get into it!

Brian—better known as The Fun-Gi—is one of Australia’s leading experts on psilocybin and plant-based medicine. Despite its profound healing potential, this ancient medicine—often called magic mushrooms—remains illegal in most Australian states. To protect his identity, Brian speaks anonymously in this episode.
We dive deep into the origins of psilocybin, why it’s been suppressed, and its transformative benefits—from unlocking creativity and dissolving ego to deepening self-awareness, connection, and mental resilience. We also explore how plant medicine is being used to treat addiction, trauma, and enhance overall well-being.
This conversation is so powerful, we’ve split it into multiple episodes. For some, this will be mind-bending. For most, it will be life-changing.
