American Grit Podcast w/ Texas Ibogane Initiative

This episode of The American Grit Podcast kicks open the door to a revolution in mental health care. Tim Jensen sits down with two trailblazers driving Texas push for psychedelic reform—Bryan Hubbard and Logan Davidson.

Bryan, Executive Director of the American Ibogaine Initiative at the REID Foundation, fuses grit and policy expertise in a mission to end the opioid crisis. Logan, Executive Director of Texans for Greater Mental Health and legislative powerhouse behind HB 1802, has been pivotal in opening the door for psychedelic therapies targeting PTSD and addiction.

Together, they helped make history with House Bill 3717 and Senate Bill 2308—securing a $50 million investment into FDA-approved ibogaine trials. It’s the largest publicly funded psychedelic research initiative in U.S. history—and it started in Texas.

From behind-the-scenes battles to the science poised to change lives, this episode dives deep into a movement that’s breaking barriers, challenging stigma, and finally offering real hope to veterans, first responders, and anyone fighting silent wars within.

Texas is leading. The future is here. And this conversation is just the beginning.
