Max Gomez is the Co-Founder and CEO of Breathwrk, a human performance company whose mission is to empower people through breathwork.

After trying breathing exercises on his therapist’s couch, Max realized that breathwork not only helped him manage his depression and anxiety, but it improved his sleep, endurance, and focus. Having studied neuroscience in college, he was thrilled when he discovered the science behind breathwork.

Thus, Max was inspired to create an accessible app that teaches science-backed breathing exercises to people of all ages.

In this discussion, Max and Chase talk about how breathwork benefits the mind and body, the difference between breathwork and meditation, and how to integrate breathwork into your daily life. Max shares a few simple breathwork exercises you can start practicing today and tells his inspiring entrepreneurship story, highlighting how he overcame constant rejection.
