Jack Boken is a Canadian yoga teacher and the founder of Happy Jack Yoga. Jack came to yoga from the corporate world, and spent months traveling the world teaching yoga and playing his guitar. When we got back to Canada, he dove into building his business and figuring out what he wanted to do. Since then, Happy Jack Yoga has grown into a global brand offering trainings and retreats around the world.

On this episode of the podcast, Jack and I talk about following your heart and doing what feels authentic to you. We also talk about how to build a successful global business, what Jack's day-to-day life looks like, how to be a successful yoga teacher, and to how to build your business in an authentic way that is real to you. Jack gives tips for creating connection with your students and how to maintain loyal customers.

Enjoy!
