Take a deep breath, expand your mind, and get ready, cause today's episode is going to be really special. We meditated, talked and shared with one-of-a-kind meditation guru, Amy Budden.

In this episode, we talked about Amy's work, how she mixes technology with meditation and what she believes is behind its success. Also, we will get a little bit personal by asking her how she balance being a mother and a entrepreneur, her hurdles to build her empire and her personal experience using meditation to heal.

About Amy Budden:

Wouldn’t you like to be a conscious creator and learn how to change your brain to create calm and contentment to customize your emotional set point? Yes. You. Can. Use breathwork and visualization to jumpstart your meditation practice and design your life.

Known as the “proficient neuro hacker” Amy uses scientifically validated techniques to teach you how to train your brain to change your mind.  You can consciously create calm, joy, love and abundance and you can change your beliefs by creating new powerful neuro-pathways through visualization and meditation.  Amy’s technique is known as the “magic nap” because she teaches a meditation state that is a deep dive into trance without effort. She combines neuroscience, meditation and technology; teaching you how to release and restore.

Perspective. Every story has more than one side, and every side should be listened to in order to figure

out a solution.

the police as the bad guys in the story. To listen to both sides, and make your own criteria, today's guest

is Garrett TeSlaa. Garrett is a veteran cop at the police department in California. In this episode, he

shares what a day in the life of a cop is like and the risk that comes with it. He also shared with us his

insights on subjects such as police defund, qualified immunity, and military training.

About Garrett TeSlaa:

Garrett TeSlaa is building a world where first responders wake up inspired, feel confident at work, and

return home safe knowing they have spent their time in a worthy cause. A 15-year veteran of law

enforcement, Garrett is the host of The Squad Room Podcast about personal development for law

enforcement professionals. A graduate of the Supervisory Leadership Institute, Garrett holds a Master's

in Public Administration with an emphasis in Public Sector Leadership. Garrett's TEDx talk, "The

We’re constantly being bombarded with chaos... What happens when that chaos comes from a place of fear? In this episode, I was joined by the amazing Cat Bigney. Cat is the Head Instructor for Boulder Outdoor Survival School (BOSS). We talked about her experiences as an instructor, tattoo artist and tv host. She shares the importance of developing self-trust and what it was like overcoming the fear of death. Cat has an incredible story and I can’t wait for you to hear her thoughts on resilience, some of her scariest moments out in the wilderness and why she’s passionate about being a tattoo artist.

About Cat Bigney:

Cat Bigney is a survival consultant, prehistoric skills specialist and artist. With a skillset acquired from an atypical upbringing, rugged formative years, and intergenerational knowledge, her focus is the preservation of ancient skills and knowledge, especially in the context of human origin, innovation/cognition and relationships to land, culture and identity. She teaches survival related basics (fire/shelter/water/food procurement and so on) and is no stranger to tactical survival, but most of her perspective and practice won’t be found in your standard bush-craft or survival “Bible”.

In addition to enduring some of the harshest of nature’s conditions across the globe, Cat is an artist, writer, athlete (playing high-level rugby for over a decade) and public speaker. Cat has been summed up as a passionate and energetic wilderness thug with a heart of gold.

In this short episode I tackle the three biggest misconceptions about doing things that are difficult. From writing books and launching businesses, to getting divorced and fighting in a cage, I've done some hard things. And...notice the patterns people have and stories they tell themselves about why they can or cannot do the same.

Enjoy.

If you’ve been around here for a while, I am sure you’ve heard me talk about the month I spent with Boulder Outdoor Survival School (BOSS). Today I brought on Matt Furches, Matt is one of the instructors for BOSS and a good friend of mine. We talked about how he got into his work at BOSS and how their training helps transform attendee’s lives for the better. We get into the idea of not having everything available to you at your fingertips, outcomes he’s seen from the BOSS training and some of his favorite memories and outcomes he’s seen come out of the survival courses.

About Matt Furches:

Matt Furches hails from Nottingham, Pennsylvania, where he was greatly inspired by the woods and the creeks, and by the Amish culture that coexisted side-by-side with 1980s American culture. After discovering the writings of Tom Brown Jr., George Washington Sears, and Henry David Thoreau, he became a self-taught naturalist and practitioner of bushcraft and indigenous survival skills.

In 2008 he spent an entire summer in the American West studying with some of the most skilled instructors in the field of primitive technology, survival, and natural history, his journey culminated in a 28-day field course with the world-renowned Boulder Outdoor Survival School (BOSS), which since the late 1960s have been at the forefront of survival training and adventure travel. Matt was invited to apprentice with the school and after 10 seasons is now a Master Instructor at BOSS.
