Myles brings a wealth of experience to his work. He co-founded The Synthesis Institute, one of the world’s first legal psilocybin service models, where he oversaw over 1,000 client experiences and trained more than 250 facilitators. This initiative cemented his reputation as a leading voice in the psychedelics space. Additionally, he has played a significant role in shaping Oregon’s psilocybin legalization, serving on advisory committees and partnering with local indigenous communities to integrate ancestral practices into modern frameworks.
With a background that spans three continents, Myles has successfully led five VC/impact-funded startups, raising over $15 million for innovative ventures focused on social impact, environmental sustainability, and personal transformation.
