Exhale. A breath may be simple, and you do it mostly without thinking about it, but it is incredibly important. Bestselling author and journalist James Nestor has been involved with investigating breath for over a decade. And his work is incredible.He wrote the book Deep: Freediving, Renegade Science, and What The Ocean Tells Us about Ourselves in 2014, all about the sport of free diving, literally diving to the depths of the ocean on a single breath. In 2020, he wrote the bestseller Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art, an amazing deep dive into the importance of proper breathing, why we have forgotten about its importance, and how to practically incorporate proper breathing strategies. We are so grateful for James and his work, and we are glad he took the time to speak with us today!Find James at-www.mrjamesnestor.comSpecial love to-CalmThe Oxygen Advantage by Patrick McKeownFind Boundless Body at-myboundlessbody.comFind Boundless Body at-myboundlessbody.comBook a session with us here! 

Jonny Miller on Nervous System Mastery, Grief, and Why High Performers Can't Afford to Stay Stuck in Their Heads Your nervous system is running every decision, relationship, and reaction in your life, and you won't notice how much it's costing you until something breaks. This episode gives you the exact framework for building real nervous system mastery instead of running on autopilot until it fails. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey sits down with Jonny Miller, host of the Inner Frontier Podcast and founder of Nervous System Mastery, who has taught more than 1,000 people how to build the skills of interoception, self-regulation, and emotional fluidity. A former Silicon Valley founder turned nervous system expert, Jonny brings a rare mix of rational, data-driven thinking and deep somatic work to a field most high performers avoid entirely. They break down why interoception, self-regulation, and emotional fluidity are the three learnable skills behind every major shift in performance, relationships, and decision-making, and why most high achievers have spent their whole lives disconnected from what's happening below the neck. Jonny introduces the half-life of reactivity, his framework for measuring how quickly someone can move from triggered back to calm, and explains how free diving became his gateway into surrender, breath work, and pressure equalization as a form of high-stakes meditation. Dave shares his own parallel journey through nervous system work, including lessons from running 40 Years of Zen and a costly business betrayal that reshaped how he reads people. Dave and Jonny also open up about grief, including Jonny's experience losing his fiancée and later his mother, and how community and co-regulation shape how fast someone actually heals. You'll Learn: Why interoception, self-regulation, and emotional fluidity are the three core skills behind nervous system mastery What the half-life of reactivity is and how to use it to measure real emotional progress How free diving works as a form of high-stakes meditation and a direct feedback loop for unclenching Why congruence between your inner and outer state matters more than staying composed under pressure How team intuition can be used as a practical filter in high-stakes hiring decisions Why co-regulation with friends and community can dramatically shorten the grieving process What Jonny's Breath Buddy device is designed to teach kids and families about nervous system regulation Thank you to our sponsors! - MOD | Visit mod.com for a consultation and get 10% off your first order plus free shipping with promo code DAVE. - ZenBud | Dave's Nervous System Biohack.

Chef Dean Harrison has spent 14 of his 22 years as a chef cooking on superyachts — from a 100-footer that rode out a cyclone in the South Pacific to a 280-footer spending $50,000 a week on provisions. This episode is for anyone who's ever wondered what's actually on the other side of the "yacht life" fantasy, and for any chef weighing whether a different version of this career exists.Register for the free monthly Culinary Leadership Lab @ https://thecheflifebrigade.com/thelab"You need to leave that ego in the restaurant. But honestly, if you can do that, you're going to be a successful yacht chef."The Job Nobody Warns You AboutDean's first yacht job was a six-day crossing from Brisbane to Fiji — and it put him inside the eye of a cyclone for the entire trip. Two sailors racing in the same storm system died and fell overboard. The boat's stabilizers failed, the hydraulics overheated, and the captain hand-steered for 48 hours while the hull rolled hard enough that Dean kept a mask and snorkel by his bed, working out which doors he'd swim through if the boat flipped.That's not the version of yacht life that makes it into the brochure, or the reality show. And it's the story Dean leads with now — not the biggest boat he's worked on, not the fanciest guest — because it's the truest one.Why YachtsTwenty-two years ago, Dean started his apprenticeship at 15 in what he calls "the Gordon Ramsay era" — yelling, getting burned, abusive kitchen culture treated as normal. He wasn't chasing Michelin stars. He was looking for a version of this career that let him travel, get paid what he was worth, and keep his sanity intact. Yachting checked every box he didn't know he was allowed to want.What "Below Deck" Doesn't Show YouOn a superyacht, roughly 70% of the boat belongs to guests — the flowers, the leather, the finishes. The other 30% is crew country: bunk beds, shared cabins, thinner carpet, harsher lighting. You can feel exactly where you cross that threshold. It's not exploitation, Dean is clear — it's just the part nobody photographs.The economics on the guest side are almost absurd by comparison. A week charter on his last boat ran $1.2 million. The chef's food budget alone was $50,000 a week — not because guests eat that much, but because you're provisioning for anything they might ask for, at any hour, with no grocery store to run to mid-ocean. Tips ran $4,000–$8,000 a week per crew member. Which is how you end up getting woken at 3am to make chicken fingers, and being genuinely fine with it.The Village That Gave Him a FreezerThe two places Dean says actually changed him weren't the biggest boats — they were Alaska and Raja Ampat, Indonesia. In Vanuatu, his yacht stopped at a remote village the owners had given solar panels the year before. Dean asked the chief's son the reflexive question — "what do you do for a living?" — and got looked at like it didn't compute."I fish, I grow my vegetables, and I live," the man told him. "I smoke a bit of weed." In the year since the solar panels arrived, the village had built a small economy around freezing fish to sell in town. Dean's takeaway wasn't a lesson about simplicity — it was a correction to the assumption that wealthy people are careless with what they have. He's met, in his words, some of the most generous people he'll ever know, on boats most people will never set foot on.What It Actually CostsThe entry price is almost nothing — an STCW safety course and a basic medical exam run about $1,300 total. The real cost shows up later: missed weddings, relationships that don't survive the distance, and years living in shared cabins with people you didn't choose. Dean calls himself lucky — he started young, with no baggage — but he's honest that the mental toll compounds, especially for anyone who isn't naturally good with people in tight quarters.His one non-negotiable: coffee on deck every morning, watching the sunrise, before the day starts. And a rule he wishes he'd learned faster — know when to leave. "This is bullshit. I don't feel happy waking up every day. I leave," is how he puts it now, after staying on boats longer than he should have more than once in 14 years.Eight Years to Feel Like a Real ChefDespite steady work on increasingly high-end boats, it took Dean about eight years to fully trust that he belonged — that he could walk onto any yacht, read what the guests actually wanted, and deliver it. Now running a coaching program and recruitment agency for yacht chefs, he says the imposter syndrome is gone, not because he became perfect, but because he can see exactly where he went wrong and hand newer chefs a shortcut around it.The One Thing That Still Worries HimNot the storms. Not the isolation. The mental toll of chefs sacrificing themselves for people who, in his words, "couldn't care less if you stay or leave" and "forget about you within a year." Three or four burnouts into his own career, it's the part of the industry he's most focused on changing — both through his coaching and by pushing owners and agencies to actually pay chefs what they're worth.Big appreciation to everyone building something real out of an industry that doesn't always make it easy — this conversation is for anyone quietly wondering if there's a different way to build this career.Chapters00:00 — Cold Open — The Hallway Where the Yacht Changes02:04 — Almost Dying in a Cyclone Crossing the South Pacific06:13 — Welcome, Chef Dean Harrison06:35 — Why Yachts?

Welcome to another inspiring episode of The Temple of Surf Podcast. This week, I am joined by Christina Gindl, Austrian big wave surfer, ocean adventurer, filmmaker, and one of the most inspiring voices in modern surfing. Born in the Austrian mountains, Christina's path to surfing was anything but conventional. After moving abroad and discovering life on the ocean, she fell in love with surfing, eventually settling in Portugal, where she has become known for charging some of the Atlantic's most powerful waves, including the legendary breaks around Nazaré and Ericeira. Today, she is also an accomplished freediver, storyteller, and filmmaker, constantly exploring the relationship between fear, resilience, and the ocean. In this episode, we dive into Christina's remarkable journey—from growing up far from the sea to becoming one of Europe's most respected female big wave surfers. We discuss what it takes to prepare mentally and physically for giant waves, why fear can become one of our greatest teachers, and how surfing continues to shape her outlook on life. We also explore her passion for freediving, the importance of breathing techniques, and the unique connection between body and mind when facing the immense power of the ocean. Christina shares how these experiences have helped her grow both as an athlete and as a person, reminding us that the biggest battles often happen within ourselves. The conversation also touches on creativity and storytelling. Through her latest documentary project, Christina invites viewers beyond the spectacular images of giant waves, revealing the emotional and personal challenges that come with pursuing an extraordinary life. Her work offers an honest perspective on identity, recovery, and the resilience required to return after setbacks. Whether you're passionate about big wave surfing, surf culture, ocean exploration, freediving, or simply enjoy hearing inspiring life stories, this episode is filled with valuable insights and unforgettable experiences. Topics include: • Big wave surfing • Nazaré and Portugal's powerful coastline • Fear and mental preparation • Freediving and breathwork • Surf travel • Ocean conservation • Surf filmmaking • Resilience and personal growth • Women's surfing • Living a life guided by passion At The Temple of Surf Podcast, our mission is to preserve and celebrate the stories of the people who continue to shape surfing around the world. Christina Gindl represents a new generation of waterwomen who combine athletic performance, creativity, and a deep respect for the ocean. If you enjoyed this conversation, please subscribe to the channel, leave a comment, and share this episode with fellow surfers and ocean lovers.

Nachdem Erik Lorenz und Lydia Möcklinghoff Irland in den Episoden 468 und 469 vom Wasser aus erkundet haben – auf einer Hausbootreise über den Shannon River –, führt sie diese Folge an einen ganz anderen Schauplatz: an die raue Atlantikküste Nordirlands. Dort treffen sie Hanno Windisch, der seit rund 15 Jahren an der berühmten Causeway Coast lebt und dessen Leben sich nahezu vollständig um das Meer dreht.Aufgewachsen zwischen Segelbooten und Seen, führte ihn sein Weg über Surfspots in aller Welt – von Hawaii über Brasilien bis nach Argentinien – schließlich an die Küste Nordirlands. Heute arbeitet Hanno als Freediving-Instruktor, Atemcoach und Naturguide. Im Gespräch erzählt er von seiner Faszination für große Wellen, von den Herausforderungen des Big-Wave-Surfens und von Momenten, in denen Angst, Konzentration und Freiheit unmittelbar aufeinandertreffen.Gemeinsam mit ihm erkunden Erik und Lydia spektakuläre Küstenlandschaften, versteckte Höhlen und die überraschend farbenreiche Unterwasserwelt Irlands. Hanno spricht über Kelpwälder, die ihn bis heute in Staunen versetzen, über die meditative Kraft des Freitauchens und darüber, wie bewusste Atmung helfen kann, Stress zu bewältigen und innere Ruhe zu finden.Außerdem begegnen Erik und Lydia dem legendären Big-Wave-Surfer Al Mennie, der an seinem Heimatstrand von seiner tiefen Verbindung zum Meer erzählt – und davon, warum Wasser, Wellen und Wildnis für viele Menschen weit mehr sind als bloße Naturkulissen.Eine Folge über die Magie des Atlantiks, die verborgenen Welten unter der Wasseroberfläche und Menschen, die im Meer ihre Heimat gefunden haben.Diese Folge wurde vor dem tödlichen Unglück unserer Freundin Lydia fertiggestellt und wird im Sinne ihrer Freunde und Familie veröffentlicht.

This week on Bad Dads Film Review, the dads dive into Luc Besson's cult aquatic epic The Big Blue — a nearly three-hour blend of freediving rivalry, French mysticism, Jean Reno charisma, dolphin longing and some deeply questionable romantic choices.What we coveredLe Grand Bleu: the original title, the French phenomenon, and whether saying it properly makes the film any shorter.The director's cut runtime and the general feeling that 168 minutes is a lot of ocean.The black-and-white childhood opening in Greece, where Jacques and Enzo's friendship/rivalry begins.Jacques witnessing his father's diving death, and how the sea becomes both trauma and home.Enzo's adult introduction: Jean Reno in full swagger mode, rescuing a trapped diver and somehow turning it into a payday.Jacques as scientific anomaly: slowing his heart rate, bonding with dolphins, and generally behaving less like a man than an aquatic screensaver with cheekbones.Rosanna Arquette's Johana, who falls hard for Jacques and makes some bold career decisions in pursuit of a man who would rather be underwater.The freediving championship sequences, including the dads trying to understand how niche sport fame works.Breath-holding records, Kate Winslet's lungs, pure oxygen cheating, and the grim reality that most of us are good for about 35 seconds.Enzo and Jacques' rivalry: affectionate, macho, dangerous, and meaningful mostly because Enzo needs it to be.The film's underwater photography, which everyone agrees is often genuinely impressive.The score, which won a César and still gets absolutely battered here.Cris's appreciation of the costumes, wetsuits, shirts, colour coordination and general seaside style.The dolphin break-out sequence, aka the brief Free Willy section of the film.Enzo's fatal final dive and Jacques' decision to return him to the depths.Jacques' final choice, Johana's pregnancy, and whether the ending is poetic transcendence or a man abandoning responsibility via dolphin.Key moments / quotesSidey clocks the film as having a “runtime of 73 hours”.Dan admits he chose it and remembered liking it, but that it was not as great as he remembered.Reegs describes the Amazon Prime aspect-ratio problem as so bad he had to find another version to watch it properly.Sidey asks whether Luc Besson edited it himself, because surely someone should have said: “This is not a fucking three-hour movie.”Reegs objects to the film romanticising Jacques, describing the ending as abandonment of a pregnant woman through grief and dolphins.Cris likes the style more than the film: the beachwear, shirts, boat shoes, wetsuits and Italian flag diving suit all get more enthusiasm than the story.Dan still has affection for the film's imagery, Jean Reno and the childhood memory of its oceanic grandeur.VerdictThe dads admire the look, the water photography and Jean Reno, but the film takes a pasting for length, pretension, thin characterisation, the writing of Johana, and Jacques being less romantic hero than emotionally unavailable dolphin botherer.A very Bad Dads kind of strong recommend: if you have three hours spare and absolutely nothing else to do, you might come away with some nice water and a deep desire to watch football instead.You can now text us anonymously to leave feedback, suggest future content or simply hurl abuse at us.

What does it take to dive more than 70 meters beneath the surface on a single breath?In this episode, we sit down with Salma Shaker, one of Saudi Arabia's leading freedivers, whose journey has taken her from the crystal-clear waters of the Red Sea to the world's most prestigious freediving competitions. Salma shares the mindset required to push the limits of human performance, explaining why freediving is far more about mental strength than physical ability. She opens up about overcoming fear, dealing with grief, building discipline, and the life lessons she's learned from spending countless hours beneath the surface. We also explore the remarkable underwater world of the Red Sea, the future of freediving in Saudi Arabia, shark misconceptions, marine conservation, and Salma's work with Red Sea Global and Coralium to help protect one of the planet's most extraordinary marine ecosystems. 0:00 Intro2:46 What a 70-Meter Dive Really Feels Like4:57 Growing Up on the Red Sea7:08 How Salma Discovered Freediving9:11 Friendship, Rivalry & Miriam's Influence10:48 Why Freediving Became an Obsession12:25 The Journey from 20 to 70 Meters17:07 Training, Breathwork & Mental Preparation21:51 Managing Fear and Anxiety Underwater24:44 How the Ocean Changed Her Life27:35 Knowing Your Limits: Awareness & Self-Control32:42 The Incident That Changed Everything38:44 Grief, Family & Finding Perspective43:05 The Future of Freediving in Saudi Arabia47:27 What Makes the Red Sea So Special56:38 Red Sea Global, Coralium & Marine Conservation1:04:44 IWC Minutes1:07:21 Shark Encounters & Ocean Myths1:15:56 The Hardest Part: Going Down or Coming Back Up?1:22:55 Control, Patience, Courage & Knowing Your Limits1:24:37 Final Reflections

No host behind the desk for this one.

You'll hear the full airport saga (a declared speargun, a false-positive drug swab on the podcast recorder, a phone lost forever), Rhys talking through his first-ever loss of motor control on a static, the mouthfill "great mystery" that throws every spearo sideways at 15 metres, and the mindset gold from Adam — the nana voice, the poo emoji, and diving with no plan B. It's Full Froth, No Ego in the flesh: a crew coming up short, laughing about it, and getting better the next day. Heads up from Shrek — these guys are learning in live time, so take the technical stuff with a grain of salt. For any spearo curious about crossing into proper freediving, or wondering what really happens on an instructor course.

Reset Breathing, Equalisation Fixes & Ocean Glide: Cindy Yang on Spearfishing, Freediving and Mindset. What happens when a Taiwanese-born Californian firefighter, underwater photographer, and freediving coach moves to Australia for love and brings two decades of ocean wisdom with her? Cindy Yang of Ocean Glide joins Shrek for a wide-ranging conversation that covers her extraordinary life arc — from a hyperactive kid in Taipei who'd never seen the ocean, to chasing abalone on the Northern California coast, to becoming one of the few female firefighters in her station, to eventually leaving her dream career to chase a different kind of depth. Along the way, they dig into practical gold: Cindy's seasickness microdosing protocol, a deep dive into sinus anatomy and why surgery isn't always the answer, her natural wetsuit lube (and exactly how to use it), and the episode's standout gem — the RESET acronym, a breathwork framework drawn from firefighting and freediving that you can use mid-dive, mid-panic, or mid-argument with your kids to snap yourself back into calm, clear decision-making. If you've ever struggled with EQ, stress underwater, or just want to feel more in control in and out of the water, this one's for you.

TrulySignificant.com honors Natalie Bruce, U.S. record holder in free-diving. There are places the noise cannot follow you. Not the noise of headlines or deadlines.Not the noise of self-doubt or self-importance.Not even the noise of fear—at least not for long. One of those places lies a hundred meters below the surface of the ocean. And Natalie Bruce goes there on a single breath. She is a U.S. record holder in freediving—one of the very few humans on Earth who routinely descends into crushing pressure with nothing but lungs, training, and trust. But to call Natalie Bruce merely an athlete would be like calling the ocean “wet.” It is accurate—and it misses the point. What Natalie practices, what she embodies, is not escapism.It is engagement at its purest form. She enters what psychologists call FLOW state—a condition first studied by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, describing moments when action and awareness merge, time dissolves, and the self stops narrating long enough to let life speak. Natalie does not flirt with FLOW. She stakes her life on it. Enjoy this rare conversation with the one and only Natalie Bruce.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/success-made-to-last-legends--4302039/support.

Maybe you have seen a documentary on freediving? You may have marveled at the seeming effortlessness and tranquility of just entering the water and going down, perhaps to depths where it almost seems unbelievable.Chris Hanhimaki insists, however, that “freediving is the purest way that a human can interact with the underwater world.“There's no reliance on tanks or anything external,” Hanhimaki said. “It's just holding your breath and diving into the depths. I consider it a very meditative and somewhat spiritual practice.“Some people freedive to observe wildlife, {others] to compete in depth and pool competitions … the root of it all is simply just diving with nothing but your breath and body.”How did Hanhimaki get involved? How did a Northern Ontario boy get engaged in this? “About four years ago now, my wife and I moved to Costa Rica. There, I fell in love with the ocean. It was like my soul returned home. I just wanted to be on, in, and under the water every day.This text is part of an article written in the summer of 2025 when Chris came to Sudbury and explored the depths of Ramsey Lake as well as offering a one day introduction to this amazing experience.Go to https://www.thesudburystar.com/news/freediving-its-just-holding-your-breath-and-diving-into-the-depths and read the full story. Listen along here and be captivated by his description of what freediving is.

Susie and Sarah are psyched about the Louvre heist especially because there was a woman involved, but Sarah's mom is not so pleased. We hear why one UFC fighter is being challenged about his use of a diabolical tactic of tickling, and we learn why it's seen as "unsportsmanlike." We debate the ethics of free diving and why some people think inhaling pure oxygen beforehand is "cheating." Susie watched the Aileen Wournos documentary, and despite being very familiar with the murderes, she still learned a lot that complicated her opinion of what happened. Finally, we debate a viral DoorDash delivery issue where a woman claimed to be "assaulted" by a customer, but believe it or not we're on his side...Brain Candy Podcast Website - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/Brain Candy Podcast Book Recommendations - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/books/Brain Candy Podcast Merchandise - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/candy-store/Brain Candy Podcast Candy Club - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/product/candy-club/Brain Candy Podcast Sponsor Codes - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/support-us/Brain Candy Podcast Social Media & Platforms:Brain Candy Podcast LIVE Interactive Trivia Nights - https://www.youtube.com/@BrainCandyPodcast/streamsBrain Candy Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braincandypodcastHost Susie Meister Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeisterHost Sarah Rice Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imsarahriceBrain Candy Podcast on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypodBrain Candy Podcast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/braincandy (JOIN FREE - TONS OF REALITY TV CONTENT)Brain Candy Podcast Sponsors, partnerships, & Products that we love:For a limited time get 40% off your first box PLUS get a free item in every box for life.

Off The Ball's Rachel Sheehan and Susanna Mollen sit down for a fascinating interview with Irish free-diver, Megan Lyons. After breaking a national record at the recent AIDA Free-diving World Championships, Megan has one aim: to become the deepest Irish person ever...

#186 - What if the deepest calm you've ever felt could follow you out of the water and into everyday life? That's the spark of our conversation with Kerry Ferguson, founder of Yoga Tree, whose path from free diving to yoga reveals how breath, mindfulness, and compassion can reshape how we move through the world.We trace Kerry's arc from early wellness choices and Outward Bound grit to anatomy labs, massage rooms, and a turning point in the Bahamas where breath control under pressure became a doorway to peace. Back in Tennessee, she helped a community discover yoga as sanctuary, even holding space on a day of national grief. Kerry shares a clear, practical technique—sit tall, breathe through the nose, expand the belly on inhale, and extend exhale to twice the length—to quiet anxiety and teach the nervous system to trust you again. Her approach demystifies meditation, inviting you to watch thoughts like clouds until the sky clears.Travel is a thread that binds it all together. Kerry leads mindful retreats in Greece and beyond, where mornings begin on the mat and days unfold with local food, culture, and unhurried conversations. These aren't just vacations; they're immersive practices in presence, from family-run kitchens to sunset meditations. We also dig into yoga's evolution in the West—why the pendulum swung toward fitness and why many are now returning to philosophy, chanting, and stillness. Kerry's stories, including a powerful moment from a silent retreat in Dharamshala, remind us that our quiet can steady someone else's storm.If you're seeking anxiety relief, mind-body tools, or a more intentional way to travel, this conversation will meet you where you are and nudge you toward where you want to be. Listen, breathe with us, and if it resonates, share the episode, subscribe, and leave a review so more people can find their way back to calm.To learn more about Kerry and Yoga Tree check out her website www.myyogatree.com and give her a follow on Instagram @myyogatree.Want to be a guest on Journey with Jake?

In this episode of The Freediving Podcast, Renee Blundon explores the power of simply starting - whether it's freediving, learning, or pursuing a dream. From post-training reflections over a chocolate sea salt RX bar to deep insights on time, transformation, and Carl Jung's idea of circumambulation, Renee shares how beginnings, no matter how small, shape the path forward. She reflects on her own journey in freediving, from struggling with equalization at 8 meters to teaching in four countries, and on the universal lessons carried by her students: courage, loss, resilience, and renewal. Through these stories, she reveals how showing up, dive after dive, step after step, creates transformation. Tune in for reflections on time, regret, and what it means to truly live - and discover why the most important lesson is this: start today, start now.

In this episode of the Postural Respiration podcast I am joined by Cody Gillis, DPT, PRC, CSCS. Cody grew up in Boston, MA and earned his DPT from Northeastern University in 2017. It was during his time at Northeastern that he was introduced to PRI by the Strength and Performance staff their who had utilized various positional activities with their athletes. During this explorative track as a 3rd year DPT student Cody was pursuing his Strength & Conditioning certification and spending time with the performance team there. Cody admits to being skeptical at first regarding what he saw but wanted to learn more. During his two required 6 months clinicals Cody gained experience in a local orthopedic setting, but it was during his second rotation that he truly immersed himself. Moving to Hawaii and spending time learning from Randy Fukuji and the clinical cases at Fukuji & Lum in Honolulu produced a desire to dig even deeper. Cody recalls a specific patient that impacted him early on, who had tried everything and been everywhere, but was coming to the clinic solely to work through the Right Sidelying - Left Adductor Pullback technique because that one technique did more for the patient than anything else had. Once Cody heard this he knew it was time to take his first course.Almost immediately Cody was on a flight from Hawaii to New York for his first course, Postural Respiration. Over the following years Cody completed his additional coursework and became certified as part of the 2021 PRC Class. Out of all the coursework he has completed, Cody credits Impingement & Instability and the concepts therein, for providing him the link to a more neurological mindset which has shaped his practice ever since. After spending many years learning and treating at Fukuji & Lum in Hawaii, Cody's desire to spend more one on one time with individual clients, led him to create Respire, initially as a personal training and coaching opportunity in his spare time. After getting married and moving back to the mainland Cody opened his Respire Physiotherapy doors, offering all encompassing care in Santa Barbara and Monterey California.Cody has a strong interest in interdisciplinary care and has attended numerous conferences with other disciplines including joining the PRI community at past AAPMD meetings among others. Most recently Cody's desire to understand and communicate with other disciplines, led him to undergo a PRI Mini Residency at the Hruska Clinic.  We discuss his time here and what offering an integrative treatment plan looks like for him as he navigates building relationships with other professionals and offering patients holistic care via those relationships. Cody has a passion for being on, in, or near the water and he looks forward to working with more individuals in the surfing community as well as pursuing more knowledge and the autonomic regulation required of the sport of Free Diving and those who do it.

In this episode of Grow a Small Business, host Troy Trewin interviews Scott Cundill, founder of My Most Trusted, a platform that overlays LinkedIn and Zoom to build genuine, trust-based business connections. Scott shares how he grew the business to around $1M AUD annual revenue (equivalent), scaling at 20-30% per year while staying fully bootstrapped. He dives into the power of his 100-100 network strategy, explains how a pilot with BNI Philippines became a turning point for their white-label model, and talks about why he's passionate about creating ethical, human-to-human networking over spammy automation. Scott also reveals how free diving in Okinawa keeps him grounded as he continues to grow his business. Why would you wait any longer to start living the lifestyle you signed up for? Balance your health, wealth, relationships and business growth. And focus your time and energy and make the most of this year. Let's get into it by clicking here. Troy delves into our guest's startup journey, their perception of success, industry reconsideration, and the pivotal stress point during business expansion. They discuss the joys of small business growth, vital entrepreneurial habits, and strategies for team building, encompassing wins, blunders, and invaluable advice. And a snapshot of the final five Grow A Small Business Questions: What do you think is the hardest thing in growing a small business? According to Scott Cundill, the hardest thing in growing a small business is getting enough revenue to keep going, especially to consistently cover staff and operational costs. He also pointed out how tough it can be managing team dynamics — making sure you have the right people who can adapt as the business changes. For him, if you can secure steady revenue and build a team that evolves with you, you're already overcoming the biggest hurdles. What's your favorite business book that has helped you the most? Scott Cundill didn't name a single favorite business book, but said he's most helped by books and resources about understanding different personality types — like those based on DISC, Myers-Briggs, and the Enneagram. For Scott, learning how to quickly read people and spot hidden agendas has been one of the most valuable skills in business. Are there any great podcasts or online learning resources you'd recommend to help grow a small business? Scott Cundill didn't specifically recommend any podcasts or typical online learning resources. Instead, he highlighted that he finds the most value in tools and materials that help understand personality types, like DISC, Myers-Briggs, and the Enneagram. These have helped him navigate human behavior in business far more than traditional professional development content. What tool or resource would you recommend to grow a small business? Scott Cundill's top recommendation is his own tool, My Most Trusted. He firmly believes in using it (or at least building the same concept) to create a 100-100 network — that's 100 people you deeply know, like, and trust, each with their own 100 trusted connections, opening up 10,000 warm opportunities. For Scott, this is hands down the best way to grow a small business. What advice would you give yourself on day one of starting out in business? Scott Cundill's advice to his younger self on day one would be: “Build your network early and keep nurturing it.” He emphasized that the contacts and friendships you make at the start often become your strongest allies and best business opportunities down the road — just like an alumni network you create for yourself.

My guest is Dr. Melissa Ilardo, Ph.D., professor of biomedical informatics at the University of Utah. We discuss the interplay between genes and behaviors, including how certain behaviors can improve resilience by changing gene and organ function, as well as natural selection events happening in humans today. We also discuss the immune system–related reasons people find the smells of potential mates attractive—or not. We explore how physical and psychological traits are passed from one generation to the next, and the specific behaviors that can influence gene expression to improve health and performance. Melissa explains her lab's pioneering research on breath-hold training and how activation of the dive reflex through breath holding can significantly improve oxygen availability by changing spleen size and function. We also delve into the medical uses and ethics of gene editing to cure disease in both babies and adults. For those interested in genes and inheritance, human performance, immune system function, and natural selection, this episode illustrates the remarkable interplay between human nature and nurture.

Today, we're headed deep off the beaten path to a forgotten island in Indonesia called Sumba. While it's twice as large as Bali and has only 700,000 inhabitants - Sumba has barely any tourism to the island.  If it's starting to sound TOO remote, don't worry because we uncovered a luxury gem, or as our guest, James McBride, would call it - geographically opulent.  James is the CEO of NIHI Sumba, a gorgeous property on a beautiful swath of beach. But the big draw here is the experiences - from world class surfing, to free diving, to spending special moments with the property's famous horses.  James and I talk about the culture of the island which has persisted for thousands of years, the stunning landscape, and how NIHI's philosophy of organic growth has led to this one of a kind experience.  So, sit back, relax, and enjoy this interesting episode of Luxury Travel Insider.  Learn more at www.luxtravelinsider.com   Connect with me on Social: Instagram LinkedIn
