In this episode of Dropping Bombs, entrepreneur and volunteer firefighter Patrick Henson shares his journey from burnout to building a growing blue-collar empire.

Patrick opens up about hitting rock bottom while working 100-hour weeks, drinking to cope, and reaching a point where he thought everyone would be better off without him. Then a random clip from Shawn Ryan's podcast changed everything. It led him to a five-day ibogaine and DMT experience in Mexico that reset his mind, killed his ego, and gave him a level of gratitude he never knew was possible.

He breaks down what it's actually like to experience "death" on DMT and the profound gratitude he now feels daily. Plus, how he went from being a prisoner in his own business to acquiring multiple companies and scaling the right way.

If you've ever felt like something in your life needed to change, this episode will light a fire under you.
