Have you listened to the FULL EPISODE yet?"I realized, oh my God, the essence of what I am, not my ego, not my body, the essence of what I am is immortal. It's always existed. It always will exist." -John MackeyJohn Mackey's journey from a young philosophy student to the founder of Whole Foods Market is nothing short of extraordinary. At 22, a life-altering LSD trip shattered his perception of reality, leading to what he describes as an "ego death." This profound experience dissolved the boundaries between self and universe, leaving Mackey with an unshakeable belief in the immortality of consciousness and the endless possibilities of human existence.Emerging from this transformative episode, Mackey embarked on a fearless pursuit of adventure and meaning. A chance encounter with his philosophy professor sparked a pivotal realization about the importance of happiness and purpose. This epiphany, coupled with a newfound appreciation for the power of nutrition, led Mackey to co-found a small natural food store that would eventually evolve into the game-changing Whole Foods Market. His story is a testament to the unexpected ways life can unfold when we open ourselves to new experiences and embrace the interconnectedness of all things.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter!
