Tim Ferriss has been called “a cross between Jack Welch and a Buddhist monk” by The New York Times. He is one of Fast Company’s “Most Innovative Business People” and an early-stage tech investor/advisor in Uber, Facebook, Twitter, Shopify, Duolingo, Alibaba, and 50+ other companies. He is also the author of five #1 New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestsellers, including "The 4-Hour Workweek."

Marcela Ot’alora G. was born and raised in Colombia, S.A. and now lives in Boulder, Colorado. She has an M.A. in Transpersonal Psychology from Naropa University in Boulder, Colorado, and an M.F.A. in Fine Arts from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. Marcela is a psychotherapist and an installation artist working in Boulder, Colorado. Her interest and focus on trauma has led her to understand the healing process as an intimate re-connection with one’s essence through love, integrity, acceptance, and honoring of the human spirit. In addition to working with trauma and PTSD, she has dedicated her professional life to teaching and research. She uses art as a vehicle for deepening the relationship to self, other, and the natural world. Marcela worked as a co-therapist in MAPS’ first government-approved MDMA-assisted psychotherapy study in Madrid, Spain, served as the Principal Investigator for MAPS’ Phase II MDMA-assisted psychotherapy study in Boulder, Colorado, and currently in the MDMA Healthy Volunteer study and Phase 3 site in Boulder, Colorado. Additionally, she is a trainer and supervisor for therapists working on MAPS studies for MDMA-assisted psychotherapy.
