Andy Storch

is a consultant, coach, facilitator and host of the podcast The Entrepreneur Hotseat (https://entrepreneurhotseat.simplecast.fm/) . Andy specializes in helping leaders lead, sellers sell, businesses flourish and ambitious business professionals perform at their highest level. Most importantly, Andy is a husband and father of two kids and is devoted to living a healthy and happy lifestyle no matter what comes his way.

I met Andy last year at Podcast Movement and recently he showed up on my newsfeed sharing that he had just completed 450 daily meditations in a row, less one day that he missed due to jet lag. So I thought it would be great to get him on the show to find out how he accomplished such a great achievement and how his daily practice is impacting his health, happiness, relationships and performance.

Andy started to see a pattern in the entrepreneurial community where meditation was getting talked about more and more and noticed that the most successful people all seemed to be meditating so he thought it would give it a go.

He introduced everything at the same time and got up to 200 days of doing every element. He founds ways to be creative in how to fit his exercise and meditation into each day, no matter where he was or what he was doing.

“It’s about repetition, and commitment and creating a habit. So I started doing all these things together and now they are a regular part of my routine and they are things that make me, in my opinion, a better person, more successful and I’ve been achieving a lot of things and it all started when I started this routine 2 years ago. “

What’s changed as a result of meditation:

He became a performance coach, joined a mastermind group for dad’s, starting mastermind, attending more events, a stronger commitment to be a great Dad and husband. Found new business opportunities, started a podcast.

Built more confidence and having more fun and enjoyment in life. Built the confidence to match the ambition that he always had. Feels happy, motivated, energetic to help and inspire others. Invested in himself and surrounding himself with people who do great things and raises him up. Growing and learning and enjoying the journey.

As a parent

- its been all about having more patience with my kids who are experiencing strong emotions and tantrums. Allows me to breathe, not raise my voice and be a calm and peaceful energy for them.

No phone Sundays or from 6-9PM in the evenings. And stop multitasking. My advice to a lot of people is: recognise that you can’t try to be present with the people around you. Stop texting when people are talking to you, it’s the most annoying thing.

How do you meditate?:

10 minutes a day using the Calm App. That’s it! He’s never more than 30 minutes a day.

Courage:

We talk about headstands and doing fun challenges in airports and how that relates to courage! Asking for hep is one of the most courageous things you can do. Asking for help pushes past the fear that we are not good enough.

We spend so much time worrying about what other people think of us and actually they don’t care, they’re too busy worrying about their own stuff.

When you do courageous things not only do you build your own confidence but you inspire other people to do cool,...

In 2010, Emma Ferris had what she describes as her ‘handbrake moment’. It was a moment that would make her question everything she believed she knew as a clinical physiotherapist and wellbeing practitioner. And on a personal level, it nearly brought her to her knees. The discovery and learning that Emma undertook to get through some very tough times would lead her to discover what true wellness looks like and the critical link between effective breathing and health and happiness.

Today, Emma Ferris is the trailblazer behind The Butterfly Effect. She is a wellness architect, a breath geek and someone who is truly, madly, deeply committed to teaching the world to breathe effectively. Emma is the creator of The Big Exhale breathing course, a public speaker, an acupuncturist, a Pilates instructor and a registered physiotherapist with over 12 years’ clinical experience. Emma’s straightforward, yet empathetic approach has seen her help people around the globe realise the power of effective breathing. Emma has helped patients recover from dysfunctional breathing patterns, injury, stress, chronic fatigue, hyperventilation, depression and chronic neck and back pain.

I joined Emma in her hometown ofbreath-basedNew Zealand a small isolated town at the end of a road and at the top of a lake.

We talk about the stages of life we work towards and expect to occur and the stress and drive we can put ourselves through in order to achieve success. Often it is only when something extreme happens that we consider and look for another way to live.

For Emma, this was suffering Hyperemesis gravidarum during the pregnancies of her two children. A severe and debilitating form of morning sickness.

Emma is my first guest to not be a meditation teacher or student of Ascension meditation and we discuss the differences between various styles of meditation and I share with Emma a bit about how Ascension works.

Emma shares how for her it was through focusing on a breath based practice that she was able to find calm, by focusing on calming her body first it then allowed her to calm her mind and we discuss in more depth the mind-body connection.

We discuss the myth that meditation needs to require a form of suffering which must be broken through in order to experience peace found on the other side.

Emma shares how the breath and poor breathing patterns take a toll on the body’s blood chemistry. And how it is possible to breathe your way into joy!

“If you can harness the power of your breath, you can harness a life of vibrant health and happiness.” Emma Ferris

The Butterfly Effect provides breathing training (and retraining) to transform physical and mental wellbeing.

We talk about ecstatic dance and the energy and meditative effect that dance can have and our own experiences with it - including my tendency to get angry when dancing! And then also another time when I was so Zenned out from dancing that I drove my scooter into a fence in Bali!

Finally Emma shares a simple secret for happiness - SMILING!

If you would like to try Emma’s program to discover more calm, focus and joy through better breathing, you can sign up to her 30-day program www.thebigexhale.com (http://www.thebigexhale.com)

The first 5 days are free and then you can use the promo code:

Thank you for your patience in allowing me this break from the pod-is-sphere. It did last longer than I intended so I thought I should first update you on what I’ve been up to.

I’ve officially moved to Auckland and I’ve got a new day job. I’m back in the foodie industry, promoting awesome, fresh, whole food based meals and catering events

I’ve taught quite a lot of meditation throughout NZ since last on air, teaching some of the biggest courses I’ve ever taught and I've loved the energy, openness, dedication of the beautiful humans I’ve gotten to spend time with.

So what’s coming up this season?

Last season I interviewed a lot of meditation teachers. Guests who have really dedicated their lives to living in the present moment and who make it a priority to meditate at least a couple of hours every day.

And that’s been amazing. But I don’t want it to seem like that this kind of commitment is the only way to live a happier, more peaceful life. So this season, I plan to also talk to some regular everyday people who enjoy profound effects from meditation without having become a monk to do so.

So guests are going to include Jane, who has used meditation as a well of weaning herself off medication used to manage ADHD. There’s also Andy a business coach who has meditated for over 500 days in a row, simply using an App on his phone. And Dave will be joining us from the UK sharing his experience of how music gave him his first experience of the total awe of the present moment and how that lead him to pursue a career in music as a professional guitarist.

And we’ll be checking in with a few of last seasons guests who have had some pretty cool developments in life since we last heard from them.

……..

Rajita Ishaya is a yogi, writer and meditation teacher from the UK. We met recently on a meditation retreat in New Zealand and she is here today to recite a poem she wrote during an anxiety attack while on a train.

For a full transcript of her poem go to:

https://thebendywitch.com/2014/06/21/dancing-in-between-the-is/

This poem was the result of the usual moment when creatively can strike - for Rajita this was during an anxiety attack. The writing process enabled her to get out of the way, focus on the words and move her focus away from the anxiety.

Rajita shares how she notices that her anxiety is made worse by the thoughts and feelings she has around the anxiety. But what helps is listening in to something bigger than the little anxiety voice in her head and instead, to observe and discover what lies beyond all that.

Rajita shares how meditation has impacted her anxiety:

Meditation helps you to see with more clarity and what to give your attention to and not to give it to the little voice but to give it the bigger more loving presence which is always there and in all of us. We often don’t give that voice a chance to show up and be heard.

“If my practice slips the anxiety creeps in and if I increase my practice everything seems to get calmer. That’s the key, find something that works and make it important. And carry it through everything, you take the peace with you.”

After releasing two episodes a week for the last 3 months, if you’re paying attention you may have noticed that this episode comes over a week after the previous one.

Don't worry this is not a podfade!

But... I am going to be taking a break from releasing new episodes till after the new year. But I will still be working on the show behind the scenes; Reflecting on everything I've learnt so far, creating a compilation episode with some of the most powerful takeaways shared by my guests so far, recording + producing more guest interviews and setting some intentions for how I support you even further in 2018 -  if you’d like to join me for a meditation retreat, let me know where in the world you’d like to meet, personally I was thinking Bali, NZ and somewhere in America. And I’m very excited about some of the guests who will be coming through in the next season.

Meanwhile, you can still follow me via my new Instagram (http://www.lilab.life/instagram) page which has daily posts featuring some of my favourite messages and quotes from both my guests so far and leaders in consciousness from around the world.

I’ll also be doing regular Instagram (http://www.lilab.life/instagram) stories for those who want to see what the day-to-day life of a modern-day monk actually looks like.

Or you can join me over on Facebook (http://www.lilab.life/facebook) where during this podcast break I’ll endeavour to do more Facebook live conversations.

Also, I’d love to invite you to check out a new online radio station which has been created by some fellow Ishaya friends of mine. radionow108.com (http://radionow108.com)

Don't wait till 2018

So before I sign out for the year I want to leave you with something to consider. It’s that time of year when things can start to get a crazy. It’s a time to wind down and celebrate but before that happens it seems there is a whirlwind of stuff to get done. There are parties, there’s shopping, there’s family and there’s all those end of year work deadlines looming.

Plus then you realise that another year has passed by and those resolutions you made back in January have become a distant memory and you realise you still haven’t created what you really want in life. Maybe things have stayed exactly the same, maybe things have gotten a bit worse.

But next years going to be different right? As the saying goes, if you do what you’ve always done, you’ll get the results that you’ve always gotten. It goes something like that, right?

Now, you can spend all the time in the world, going to the gym to create a better body, going on another date to find a better partner, earn more money to get a nicer house or car or beach holiday. But ultimately none of that is going to make a difference to your inner experience of peace and happiness if you’re not being present. If you’re staying tied to looking at the external stuff to make you happy, your patterns of thinking and behaviour are going to remain, keeping you feeling stressed, anxious and stuck.

You have to...
