Darren Polypore: Welcome to Mycopreneur Hour
Today on the pod we’v got a legend of the mushroom media game -
You know him for that silky sooth voice and for the distinguished air of professionalism and scientific legitimacy that he brings to the mycopreneurial hustle
Mushroom people of the world rejoice!
We’ve got Darren of "Welcome to Mushroom Hour" on the pod today
Darren’s been an inspiration to us here at mycopreneur since before we launched the podcast, and it was his body of work and the welcome to mushroom hour podcast, in fact, that set the bar for the quality and consistency that we hoped to achieve with the Mycopreneur Podcast
He is a repository of mycological knowledge and I still haven’t figured out where he’s coming from every time he walks out of a bush and says ‘hi there, welcome to mushroom hour’
Perhaps it’s an Alice In Wonderland type situation?
In any case, today we’re talking about starting your mycopreneurial venture before you’re ready, just going for it and delivering results while learning on the job - we’re talking about real life case studies of mushrooms saving the world, we’re talking psilocybin mushrooms, as we often do on this here podcast, and we’re dialing into some upcoming projects on the horizon for welcome to mushroom hour,
So buckle in, double down on those microdoses and sip on your lions mane coffee or adaptogenic mushroom beer depending on what time zone you’re in, because yes, right now, you are in fact connected to a worldwide community of mycopreneurs making big moves to advance the role of fungi as a legitimate means of solving problems and we’re in this together, so let’s get this show on the road
