“Change is inevitable, growth is optional.”  This about sums up the overall message from our very first guest on SH//FT Perspective, Kenny Kane. Kenny Kane is the owner of OakPark LA, a stand-up comedian, master coach, and all-around awesome dude.  Kenny Kane and OakPark were very early adopters in the new wave of breathwork and it has become an indelible part of their community. In this special 60 minute episode, we get into how Kenny found breathwork and the numerous ways it’s impacted his community and his team at OakPark. Eavesdrop on this conversation among old friends on breath, life, and leadership. Enjoy the show!  We sincerely hope you hear something that shifts your perspective.

More shitty counting -- In Episode 21 (not 20!) Brian talks about being aware of the internal conversation (using my crappy planning as an example) and we talk about future guest selection and dive into some recent studies on breath restriction for muscular endurance. We dive into the analogy of the consequences of driving like an asshole and lack of emotional training for humans. The place of specialization in human adaptation and evolution is explored along with what it means to be an adult in this crazy world. Enjoy the show! We sincerely hope you hear something that shifts your perspective.

In Episode 20 we discuss thinking in First Principles vs. protocols and psychedelic breathwork seminars. We explore the miracle of our fleshy super-computer, virtual reality units in the park, and the genius of South Park. We go all over the place shooting the breeze on Spaghetti Westerns and Akira Kurosawa, bull riding, dog love, hiking, and even missing friends from travel. Enjoy the show! We sincerely hope you hear something that shifts your perspective.

In Episode 19 I explain to Brian how I got into a passionate discussion over a comment dropped on Nature is Metal over human interference with Nature.  This leads to a deep dive into emotional intelligence, suffering, and attachment. We also jam on human muscle fiber types and what makes a  superchicken versus a hawk. We cap it all off with thoughts on the Tesla Cybertruck vs. the old school trucks we drove in our youths. Enjoy the show!  We sincerely hope you hear something that shifts your perspective.

17 again…(?) We go long in this conversation! We dive right in with the evolutionary purpose of conscious breath control and the true meaning of wealth. Through some circuitous route, we find ourselves talking about “Life Below Zero”, the romanticization of Nature, and the need for a community to survive. Artists as the macrophages of society, the beauty, and danger of search engines are also discussed with the burden of knowledge and creativity. Enjoy the show! We sincerely hope you hear something that shifts your perspective.

In Episode 17 we start off with a review of Coming to America 2 and the youthful magic of Eddie Murphy and the genius of stand-up comedy. This traverses topics to the dark place of the mind and the shame of high performers. We chat about the connection between cancel culture, emotional control, and reactivity. The true meaning of judgment and true communication through listening and courtesy. Enjoy the show! We sincerely hope you hear something that shifts your perspective.

Episode 16 features Neanderthals, breath devices, and the difference between evolution and adaptation.  We also get into checking the ego in order to deep dive and learn as well as my lack of measurable compassion, personality types, and the echo chamber of social media. We somehow make our way to blue ribbons for all vs. meritocracy and how family dynamics are affected by geography. Enjoy the show! We sincerely hope you hear something that shifts your perspective.
