Mindful You

Welcome to another enlightening episode of the Mindful You Podcast with your host, Alan Carroll. Today, we journey into the intersection of ancient wisdom and modern leadership with special guest Edward Howard, founder of One Breath Leadership. Drawing on his background in neuroscience, psychology, artificial intelligence, and decades of meditation practice—including transformative experiences in Japanese Zen monasteries—Edward Howard introduces us to a new, human-centered framework for leadership and presence, rooted in the power of a single mindful breath.

In this conversation, Alan and Ed explore the core principles of Zen, including the nature of judgment, living in the present moment, and the profound physiological and psychological impact of mindful breathing. Whether you’re a business leader, a mindfulness enthusiast, or simply seeking clarity amid the chaos of modern life, this episode offers practical tools and deep insights into shifting from stress and reactivity to clarity, calm, and conscious action.

Join us as we discover how one breath can open the door to strategic clarity, genuine presence, and even a glimpse into the transcendent—on the other side of thought.
