Justin Zhu started his career as a software engineer at Twitter in 2011.
Justin Zhu, chief executive officer of digital marketing startup Iterable Inc., was walking down Broadway in San Francisco on April 26 when he was summoned to a surprise conference call and abruptly fired. His co-founder, Andrew Boni, and the company s entire board told him he was losing his job, primarily because he had taken LSD before a meeting in 2019.
The incident had indeed happened-Zhu says he was trying to take a small dose to improve his focus and accidentally took too much-but he also was being fired for other reasons. For the previous 10 months, Zhu had been talking with a reporter from Bloomberg Businessweek about his experience as CEO, the challenges of being Chinese in Silicon Valley, and his disputes with two of Iterable s key investors. He hadn t cut off the conversations when investors asked him to, the final straw in a long-running feud.

Microdosing is taking small doses of psychedelics over the course of a couple days in order to experience beneficial side effects.
It s used by some to alleviate anxiety and depression, and increase perception and creativity levels.
Most people who experiment with microdosing will do one day on, and then two days off, as to not build up tolerance and to experience next-day leftover effects.
