#33 - Tom Feegel: Beond CEO and Client #1

Tom Feegel is an entrepreneur, founder and the CEO of Beond. When he and his partner Talia Eisenberg, who we’ve had on the show before, co-founded Beond in early 2022, Tom was the first person to undergo treatment. Since then, he’s witnessed thousands of ibogaine treatments under an ever-improving set of protocols and standards.

What we discuss:

Three unique characteristics of ibogaine when compared to other psychedelics
What “the intellectual’s psychedelic” means
How Tom knew he was ready for ibogaine
Unpacking Tom’s life review on ibogaine
How Tom’s ibogaine experience – and all other subsequent treatments – have informed Beond’s treatment process
The importance of preparation and integration
Tom’s vital spiritual practices
Reflecting on growth and looking ahead to emerging research

Why it’s important:

Tom offers a unique perspective – not just on Beond itself, but on the experience of ibogaine. Combined with his personal experience, the sheer volume of transformations he’s been able to witness provide him with an intimate understanding of how much has changed and improved in the nearly three years that Beond has been in operation. As he describes it, the team’s focus is not on being the best, but on “being the best at getting better.” Tom speaks from his heart, offering reflections on his own experience with ibogaine, spirituality, and fatherhood – and reminding us of some valuable life lessons that can only be taught by children.
