Align Podcast

In this episode of the Align podcast, Peter Crone talks to us about addiction, and the ways we can use trauma to empower our life choices. We also look to reprogram the ways we view our addictions, and dig deeper into the narratives of inadequacy and self-judgement that we all tell ourselves. We dive into the true nature of desire, and how we can all take control of our lives by aligning ourselves with what we say. We finish the episode with an exploration of self-love and the way it can play a pivotal role in our lives.

In this episode of the Align podcast, Laird Hamilton talks to us about surfing, and the ways we should embrace chaos on a daily basis. We dive deep into his childhood in Hawaii and his affinity for surfing at a young age. We also explore his secrets for longevity, and how he maintains health and fitness at fifty-nine years old. We cover some of the habits everyone should build in order to live a more emotionally, spiritually, and physically balanced lifestyle.

Laird Hamilton is known as the guiding genius of crossover board sports and is largely considered the primary influence behind many surfing innovations, including tow-in surfing, stand-up paddle boarding, and hydrofoil boarding.

Surfer Magazine has labelled Laird as, “the sport’s most complete surfer, displaying almost unnerving expertise in a multitude of disciplines, and flat out surfing’s biggest, boldest, bravest, and the best big wave surfer in the world today, bar none.”
