Nature Junkie Radio

Our guest today is Reis Paluso (@reispaluso, @OurBreathCollective). Reis is a successful entrepreneur, who helped create and run brands like Korduroy TV, Manda Suncare, Social Supply and most recently Our Breath Collective where he’s the co-founder and one of the leading breathwork guides.

Reis is a true brother so it was a special treat to sit down with him, understand more about his journey, hear him share his knowledge of breathwork, and passion for being of service to people. Reis also did me the favor of being my first podcast guest - thanks amigo!

In this convo we trace Reis’ nature junkie roots back to his barefoot childhood roaming canyons with his sister and his dog, how he met his future wife by falling into a pool, swimming with dolphins as a kayak guide in Kauai, the joys of surfing, and how Reis became an early Wim Hof instructor, which involved shirtless mountain climbing in Poland - twice! We get into the many dimensions of breathwork including the importance of taking a non-dogmatic approach to access different styles, the impact of music, community and how all of this inspired Reis to co-found Our Breath Collective, a powerful and community-centered breathwork platform. Reis shares what nature means to him and offers some practical ways to connect daily. We even share a breathwork technique to help you laugh more. This episode is likely to expand what you thought was possible through breathwork.

Welcome to Nature Junkie Radio!

As you’ve probably noticed, our human/nature relationship is changing pretty radically. We spend most of our time indoors, we’re glued to screens, we’re sleepless, anxious, stressed, and depressed. Biodiversity is plummeting and the planet is kinda pissed off at us lately. Yay humans! Rather than wallow in despair, let’s get together and do something about it. Nature Junkie Radio is a podcast on a mission to share the wisdom, wonder, and ways of nature connection to help replenish your stoke. Host, surfer, brand-builder, and nature photographer, Jeff Johnson explores our relationship with nature through interviews with scientists, athletes, authors, artists, purpose-driven business leaders, community builders, wellness experts, and many more. These nature junkies all have one thing in common - they actively apply nature connection as a fundamental pillar of their wellbeing - and we’d love to help you do the same.
