August 11, 2023#267 Leaders Look Within - with Brent Pohlman
> Sign Up For Our Newsletter: http://www.firsthuman.com/being-human-newsletter/

This week I speak with Brent Pohlman, the author of 'Leaders Look Within' and owner and CEO of Midwest Laboratories.

Brent started working at 15 in the company his father started and ended up in charge. Through decades of building on his father's legacy, Brent has learned that no matter what incentives you offer, employees will only truly listen to a manager that leads from the heart. After a cardiac scare in 2006 and the loss of his mother a decade later, Brent realised he needed to change how he led. Some introspection led him to a purpose-oriented and people-first approach.

We talk:
Developing a personal 'Why' and 'How'
The power of monitoring our Heart Rate Variability
Rubber bands and negative self-talk
A killer morning routine
Prayer in the workplace

I've got a great one for you this week. I speak with the fantastic Fini Cooper, a Breathwork Therapist based in London.

I first met Fini hosting the Wellness In The Wild festival, and her speech was brilliant. Despite being a part-time yogi for two decades, I hadn't realised the extent of the benefits of breathwork: the impact that taking conscious control of our breathing can have on our health and well-being.

We talk:
Foundational breathing
The difference between talk therapy and deep work
Why CO2 is good for us
Playing with inhale vs exhale
Taping your mouth at night

July 21, 2023#264 The Redox Revolution - with Andrew Genovese
> Sign Up For Our Newsletter: http://www.firsthuman.com/being-human-newsletter/

This week I swing out with Andrew Genovese, a Dimensional Breathwork teacher/facilitator, sacred space holder, plant medicine guide, visionary, and New Earth Ambassador.
On his journey to heal his traumas, Andrew found breathwork and now uses it to tap into the central nervous system to calm the mind and purify the body. This work allows us to let go of our physical body and permits the subconscious and unconscious mind to bring to the surface whatever is ready for us to process and release fully.
He has now become an ambassador for a technology he claims to be as powerful as breathwork: reduction/oxidation or redox. Redox signaling molecules are produced within every cell in your body and act as cellular messengers or activators. These molecules are critical in keeping oxidation in check and preventing cellular damage. The company he represents claims to have created a bottled form of these molecules.

We talk:
How Andrew cured a chronic, painful condition through breathwork alone
Why the lack of ‘chi’ is at the root of ill health
The Redox breakthrough
The ending of the dark age of the Kali Yuga

July 17, 2023#263 Lessons In Productivity From The Startup World - with Stoyan Yankov
> Sign Up For Our Newsletter: http://www.firsthuman.com/being-human-newsletter/

This week I speak with Stoyan Yankov, productivity and performance coach and author of PERFORM: The Unsexy Truth About (Startup) Success.

Stoyan has a fantastic life story to share. Starting in his native Bulgaria and pursuing a finance degree in Denmark, he discovered a passion for filmmaking that saw him eventually work as a producer for more than 500 films. Then the epiphany happened. When delivering a speech, he realised a person's life could truly be changed with a one-hour speech. After that, he quit filmmaking and pursued a career as a motivational speaker and workshop host.

We talk:
Washing dishes and giving speeches
Keeping purpose present
The Art of Prioritisation
Are you eating frogs or honey?
Can 'self-work' be an avoidance strategy?

July 08, 2023#262 True Self - with Garret Kramer
> Sign Up For Our Newsletter: http://www.firsthuman.com/being-human-newsletter/

This week I speak with Garret Kramer, an author, coach and consultant with over 28 years of experience helping athletes, actors, and business leaders.

What started as an inkling in the back of his mind that life was more than it was cracked up to be, Garret's work has led him on a path of self-exploration, discovering non-duality on the way and its relevance to performance, happiness, and psychology.

Garret shares:
When he realised that conventional, 'fix-the-self' coaching wasn't his path
Mainstream coaching and therapy vs the path of non-duality
How wonder is schooled out of us
Our societal obsession with individual identity
Tricking the seeking mind

> Sign Up For Our Newsletter: http://www.firsthuman.com/being-human-newsletter/

This week’s Being Human guest is Sol Luckman, a confessed beachaholic and obsessive cultural creative.
Preferring hard play over a so-called honest day’s work, these days in the New Abnormal, Sol spends his time on a new small island mostly bodysurfing, painting, and writing—not necessarily in that order and usually not all at once.

We talk:
From athlete and star student to suffering a vaccine injury
Eras I, II and III of Western Medicine
