Psyched Up with Lev Rozenberg

Lev Rozenberg is an entrepreneur, expatriate and immigrant, being born in the USSR, growing up in Florida and now joining Kurt in Guadalajara.

As a 17-year-old in Florida, he found himself having some kind of unusual mental experience while on the beach with friends. Perhaps it was a heatstroke, or a panic attack, or the build-up of stress from his schooling, but he began to have a seizure and ended up in hospital.

The doctors did several tests and confirmed that there was nothing physically wrong with him. That led to additional anxiety – wondering when a seizure or panic attack would happen again, and he soon dropped out of school.
Eventually he found a way to try psychotropic medications, and soon realized that they were causing more problems than they were solving – with physical pain and emotional numbing.

Listen to the interview to find out Lev’s journey and life lessons.
