Love, Loss & Hallucinations with Scott Schumaker
Podcast Description
Welcome to Love, Loss and Hallucinations with Scott Schumaker — a podcast where we start with those three themes and see where the conversation takes us. This podcast is about the beauty and pain of being human, a podcast about finding strength and connection in vulnerability, a podcast to amplify the voices of those who have been through the ringer of life and have wisdom to share, and a podcast about the healing, evolution, and transformation that can happen when you’re willing to lean into the uncomfortable and the unknown.
I’ll be talking with therapists, coaches, world-class athletes, writers, musicians, artists, shamans, plant medicine guides, and everyday who’ve been touched by incredible moments of love, shattered by loss, or altered by the extraordinary.
If you’ve ever felt like your heart was going to explode from either love or loss; if you’re wanting deeper connection in this increasingly lonely world; if you’re curious about plant medicine, or you’ve experienced an out-of-the-ordinary vision...then you’ll feel at home here.

In this episode, music and psychedelic entrepreneur Brandon Deroche, founder and CEO of Propeller and Portal, shares how transformative plant medicine journeys have influenced him and his career path. Wanting to have a meaningful career from a young age, and influenced by his grandfather’s death, insights from psychedelics and Ram Dass, Brandon and I discuss how he’s has pursued positive social change with his businesses. This is a path that has also created opportunities for him to work with the likes of Chappelle Roan, Justin Isbell, Lorde, ODESZA, Boygenius, and many more. We also get into how and why he, along with Justin Boreta, formerly of The Glitch Mob, created Portal, a non-profit and community dedicated to destigmatizing the responsible use of psychedelics, educating about their benefits, and advocating for accessibility. If you’re wanting to start a business in the psychedelic, non-profit or music space, you’ll want to tune into this one!
