Have you been feeling stressed out with your family, over-exhausted from work, or seeking a new way to treat your insomnia? If that sounds familiar, please join me for a 33 minute podcast episode of Breathwork and Deep Relaxation Meditation.
Breathwork teaches us to release stress in an easy way â through exhaling.
The class also will conclude with a Deep Relaxation practice, called Yoga nidra. This meditation is known yogic sleep â itâs the state between being awake and asleep. Come join me if this feels like something youâd like to practice!
Sign-up for my Breathworker email community for FREE Breathwork podcasts at Breathwork.center
Sign-up for my in-person Breathwork for Beginners Workshop at Yoga Changes June 9 in Santa Monica, CA.
Whether mental and emotional fitness, physical relaxation, or calming the mind, Breathwork and Deep Relaxation Meditation can help soothe the body.
What does Breathwork feel like?
In Breathwork you breathe with intention, which helps to calm down the nervous system. Intentional breathing helps to relax, since many of us spend our days breathing in fear, worried about our job security, or even anxious about missing traffic lights. We are burned out, Breathwork retrains us on how to breathe in a more healthy and even fun way.
To practice Breathwork you lay on your back, breathing in a rhythmic breathing pattern. Music is playing in the background, and your goal is to relax your body. You breathe in two deep inhales. First in the belly, then in the chest. Then you exhale it all out.
It goes like this:
- Inhale in the chest
- Inhale in the belly
- Exhale it all out
What does Deep Relaxation (Yoga nidra) feel like?
This podcast will offer Deep Relaxation meditation (Yoga nidra) after the Breathwork. This state is achieved when your body is deeply relaxed, while your mind remains awake. Yoga nidra is an ancient meditation practice that takes you deep into your subconscious. It helps treat anxiety, alleviate stress, heal trauma, and gives people relief from insomnia.
It features a body scan, where you mentally rotate attention to specific parts of our body. You focus a few seconds of energy on your body from forehead to throat to your toes and everywhere in between. The idea is to quickly scan the body, with each body part getting a specific and relaxing focus.
Whether it is dealing with daily frustrations, general anxiety or long-term grief â the practice is a natural remedy to the stress of life. It helps to change our perception of these stresses.
To practice Breathwork you lay on your back, breathing in a rhythmic breathing pattern. Music is playing in the background, and your goal is to relax your body.
***Please do not practice breathwork while operating a vehicle. If you are pregnant or have any known health issues, please consult your doctor before performing Breathwork. If you feel unsafe during the meditation, have a history of trauma, or feel overly activated, you can stop, breathe through your nose, and open your eyes and stop the practice.
You breathe in two deep inhales. First in the belly, then in the chest. Then you exhale it all out. It's a lot of fun, thanks for joining!

Rand Fishkin, the founder and former CEO of Moz, tells the secrets and tricks about how traditional Silicon Valley "wisdom" leads far too many companies to struggle.
Did you know only 5% of startup businesses make it? 95% of startups fail, lose money, and never succeed. But if you read any book about Silicon Valley, entrepreneurs will glamorize the highs and ignore the lows.
I hate the word hustle and grind, and it's refreshing to see people like Rand tell the truth about how startups can actually succeed.

David Spinks delivers a master class on how to build amazing, loyal, and collaborative communities. I get a lot of questions from listeners asking "do I build a community first, and then a product," or "do I build a product and then find a community." David votes for community first, and we dive deep into that. Listen to all our archives with authors like Seth Godin, Dan Ariely, Brad Feld, YouTubers like Franchesca Ramsey or Freddie Wong: http://www.influencereconomy.com
The 4 steps in community engagement are:
1. Identity The memberâs identity aligns with the identity of the community. 2. Trust The member develops trust in other members and in the community as a whole. 3. Participation The member takes action to participate in the community. 4. Reward The member gets value from their participation and wants to experience it again. -

Imagine that you're fresh out of college, touring with your rock band, and you meet Puff Daddy at backstage at your show. Sounds surreal, right? Well that what is what happened to D.A. Wallach. After graduating from Harvard, he toured the country with his rock band Chester French. And the likes of Puff Daddy showed up at his shows. Years later, D.A. has become a bio tech investor. He's pivoted his career many times. Chester French was a rock band like the Beatles, with a sensbility and style of Outkast.

Their curiousity lead them to book tours and meet fans though social media. He realized that in many ways, his fans were like him. And social media helped him to literally meet tens of thousands of friends. While growing up in Wisconsin, D.A. recalls downloading every David Bowie album through Napster. Years later, as a musican, he watched the music industry get eviscerated. As his days of rock touring were slowing down, a small company named Spotify was preparing for its U.S. launch. That's when D.A. made his first pivot. D.A. is now investing in biotech companies, as he's fascinated by humans relation to biology and is interested in driving an enhanced understanding of the connection. New powers and insights can be gained as the future of biology and technology gets defined. He is now looking for businesses that are taking cool scientific ideas from academia or the lab.

Adam broke down with Ryan the three key styles in the work environment: 1) Giving 2) Taking 3) Matching.
Givers are the types of people who show-up early at work, mentor others, and stay late to help-out. They give without expecting anything in return. Takers are the types of people who "take" and look out for only themselves. While matchers are the most common type of person at work. Matchers have the philosophy: "You help me, and I'll help you" (tit for tat).

Brad Feld has had dark moments as an entrepreneur. He lives fast paced life as an entrepreneur and startup investor. Hailing from Boulder, Colorado, Brad has struggled with depression throughout his life. This episode he and I get real on the struggle that we go through when we're depressed. It's a truthful and honest chat into the world of depression and obsessive compulsive disorder OCD.
How common is the issue of depression in the world of entrepreneurs? Well, it's more common than you think. In fact, struggling with depression as a someone who is starting a company is more likely than you'd realize. Why? Because being a founder or entrepreneur is a lonely job. It's also very intense, with highs and lows that are un-common to those working more corporate and stable jobs.
Entrepreneurship is also a thrill. That's why we pursue the challenges involved. Brad Feld came on the podcast to chat about depression and his own bouts with it, and how he has fought through his own battles of obsessive compulsive disorder.
Brad is a world-class entrepreneur and investor. Having started Techstars, Foundry Group, he's invested in hundreds and hundreds of companies. He knows the hustle and flow that entrepreneurs go through and we dig in this episode on:
How to cope with depression How to find support from loved ones when dealing with depression The signs of depression and OCD How Brad takes time off the grid to keep himself energizedBrad Feld's article on depression: http://www.feld.com/archives/2015/04/bringing-depression-shadows-startups.html
