Minter Dialogue with Jay Godfrey
Jay Godfrey is an entrepreneur and cofounder of Nushama that provides medically supervised psychedelic treatments for sustained relief from depression, anxiety, chronic pain, PTSD and addiction. Previously, Jay built an eponymous fashion brand that had success around the world and was worn by celebrities, such as Jennifer Lopez, Viola Davis and Laverne Cox. In this discussion, we look at his career trajectory and pivot into Nushama. We explore the evolution of psychedelics and the pathologies it can help. We look at the business case and peak into the future of this exciting new field.
