How do you find balance in an ever changing world? That’s the question I wanted to ask Steven Izen founder of Lokai and Elements of Balance. This is episode ep 187 with Steven Izen. Welcome to Forever Athlete Radio where together we go FAR. I’m your host Cory Camp and today we are exploring this concept of balance in a stimulated world. 

If you’re not familiar with Steven, you’ve probably seen his Lokai bracelets on the wrist of someone in your life. They source mud from the Dead Sea to represent staying hopeful in life’s lows and water from Mount Everest to stay humble during life’s highs. Our conversation today unpacks what balance means to Steven as he’s built Lokai to over 10 million bracelets sold, donating $9 million to charity in the process, all while being a father, husband, and athlete.
