Christian Angermeyer joins Plausibly Deniable to discuss the Enhanced Games, performance-enhancing drugs, psychedelic medicine, longevity, telehealth, ambition, and building companies around controversial ideas before they become mainstream.
Christian argues that the debate around performance enhancement is stuck in moral panic, bad incentives, and missing data. He explains why the Enhanced Games are designed not just as a sports spectacle, but as a research and media platform: athletes competing with medically supervised enhancement, data being collected at scale, and a broader business built around health, recovery, and human performance.
We also get into the ethics of PEDs, whether banning enhancement actually harms athletes, why recovery may be the real performance unlock, how psychedelics went from fringe to medical legitimacy, what founders misunderstand about ambition, and Christian’s path from European finance to building and selling a major African banking group.
Absolutely none of this is medical, financial, or spiritual advice
