The Marine infantryman still suffers from PTSD from his tour in Vietnam but credits LSD and MDMA with helping him “come home.” Now he’s on a mission to help other veterans. In 1997, Parsons started a Web design company that would eventually become his most famous venture—domain name reseller GoDaddy, which would become notorious for its raunchy Super Bowl commercials. He became a billionaire in 2011 when he sold the majority of GoDaddy to private equity investors, earning $900 million in cash and shares in the publicly traded company. He is now worth some $3.4 billion. Parsons sat with Forbes to discuss his entrepreneurial mindset, how the Marines made him the man he is, and how his experience with psychedelics helped him tame his PTSD. 0:00 Meet Bob Parsons 0:30 How Do You Know When The Time Is Right To Sell A Company? 1:29 Parsons Technologies: From Startup To $64 Million Dollar Acquisition 6:26 "I Owe Everything To The Marine Corps" - Lessons In Business From A Marine 7:24 Reflecting On The Vietnam War 9:42 How The GoDaddy Sale Funded Scottsdale National And PXG 13:44 A Look Inside PXG's Build Shop 15:19 Parsons' Early Years In Baltimore 18:50 Coming Home & Living With PTSD As A Father & Founder 20:27 Understanding PTSD And Psychedelics 24:01 Life Lessons And His Legacy Read the full story on Forbes: https://www.forbes.com/sites/willyakowicz/2022/04/17/godaddy-billionaire-bob-parsons-believes-psychedelics-can-heal-trauma-and-hes-putting-his-money-and-brain-on-the-line/?sh=489415403df7 Subscribe to FORBES: null Stay Connected Forbes newsletters: https://newsletters.editorial.forbes.com/ Forbes on Facebook: http://fb.com/forbes Forbes Video on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/forbes Forbes Video on Instagram: http://instagram.com/forbes More From Forbes: http://forbes.com/ Forbes covers the intersection of entrepreneurship, wealth, technology, business and lifestyle with a focus on people and success.
