We tend to think of grief as something we feel — a heaviness in the heart, a fog in the mind. But what if grief is also something we store, physically, in the body? And what if the breath you take without thinking could be the very thing that sets it free?In this episode, I talk with Kurtis Lee Thomas — the "Man from the Stars" — about a path to healing that didn't begin in a wellness studio, but in suffering. A five-year stomach condition no doctor could diagnose. The loss of his brother to gun violence. A 2 a.m. encounter with a medium at a gas station that cracked his worldview wide open.What Kurtis found on the other side of that pain is a practice he calls humanity's original medicine. We explore why talk therapy can only reach so far, what actually happens when the breath quiets the mind's inner critic, and why grief in particular responds to this work like almost nothing else.If you've done all the "right" things and still feel something stuck inside you, this conversation offers a different doorway — and a lot of hope.About Kurtis Lee ThomasKurtis Lee Thomas is the founder of the global wellness movement Breathwork Detox and Chairman of the Just Breathe Foundation, which has partnered with Nike, NASA, and others to bring mental health solutions to those who need them most.

On this week's East Bay Insiders, we're giving listeners a preview of After Hours—our subscriber-only deep dive where the conversation gets a little looser and a lot more insidey. Steve Tavares and Jason Teramoto chop it up on Castro Valley's recurring push for incorporation, what it was like growing up there in the '80s and '90s, and—yes—the possible existence of Stranger Things-style creatures lurking in the hills. Plus, a must-hear segment with Lee Thomas and Mike Hutchinson, who walks through his surreal 2022 school board race, when the Alameda County registrar certified the wrong winner—forcing him to go to court to secure a victory he had already earned. And in the main episode, Steve Tavares, Trishala Vinnakota, and Justin Berton break down Rep. Ro Khanna's comments about a potential 2028 presidential run—and why his vision for a multiracial, economic-forward America may be more politically savvy than it sounds.

About This Episode The future of work is no longer defined by productivity alone—it is being reformed by how organizations prioritize people, leadership, and purpose. In this Expert Compilation episode of The Future of Work® Podcast, three leading voices explore the fundamental changes transforming how we work, lead, and build sustainable organizations. Kurtis Lee Thomas, founder of Breathwork Detox, shares how workplace well-being is evolving from a perk into a measurable, strategic business priority—impacting performance, retention, and long-term resilience. Stephanie Chung, former Chief Growth Officer at Wheels Up, brings over 30 years of leadership experience to redefine what it takes to build high-performing teams, emphasizing trust, vulnerability, and the neuroscience of winning. Finally, Jasmine Escalera, PhD, a career expert and LinkedIn Top Voice, explores how Gen Z is shaping expectations around work, identity, and success—challenging organizations to adapt or risk losing emerging talent. Together, these perspectives reveal a clear truth: the organizations that will thrive in the future of work are those that prioritize human experience as much as performance.

In today's episode I'm joined by the incredible Kurtis Lee Thomas, Founder of the Breathwork Detox modality — a transformative breathwork system that's been featured on The Today Show and used by some of the world's biggest organisations. Kurtis has brought his breathwork method into spaces like Nike, NASA, Fortune 500 companies, elite athletic teams and a long list of celebrities and high-performers. His work speaks for itself — the impact, the results, and the rapid transformation this modality creates are truly remarkable. In this conversation we explore - What breathwork actually is beyond the buzzword. The somatic, emotional and energetic logic behind Breathwork Detox. How one session can trigger release, clarity and nervous system reset. Why organisations like Nike and NASA are turning to breathwork for performance, focus and stress management. The deeper spiritual and alchemical dimensions of using breath as a tool for healing and awakening. Kurtis's personal journey into this work — and what breath can reveal when we learn to listen. If you are someone who loves embodiment, energy work, somatic healing or the deeper layers of consciousness — this episode is pure medicine. This is breathwork as alchemy, breathwork as initiation, breathwork as transformation.

Fall is here, but the grill is still hot!

Jones Dickson also reflects on how youth crime looks different today — and how the pandemic may have left some young people feeling forgotten.

Big deals and big meals. "Recovering" former San Leandro Councilmember Pete Ballew joins the season finale of The Marinade for a hearty conversation over lamb chops, 10-hour smoked beef ribs, and longanisa sausage. Ballew reflects on his eight years of public service, sharing candid thoughts on ethics at City Hall, the challenge of generating new revenue, and his outlook on the city's future. “The 89-9 has a built-in distrust of government,” Ballew says, using his trademark nickname for San Leandro and its residents. A former San Leandro police officer, Ballew also weighs in on law enforcement and the current direction of the city council. “There's two types of councilpeople,” he says. “People that get into it for the community, and people that get into it for themselves.” This episode of The Marinade with Lee Thomas is sponsored by Borja Plus Media photography and videography.

Also in the episode: housing for teachers, what happens if ICE agents show up at a school, and how AI is being introduced in classrooms.

Are you tired of trying so hard because the changes you make never seem to last? Most people invest their energy in external problems. They focus on fixing their drinking, eating, relationship, finances or physical health under the false belief that their circumstances and/or habits are holding them back. But “stuck” is a feeling, not a fact. And your troubles are not the cause of this feeling, they're the effect. If you felt free, clear and powerful, you would think and act like someone who feels that way. So the first item on your to-do list is to clear the energetic blockages in your body that are keeping you at a lower vibration and creating resistance to change. Today I'm talking to Kurtis Lee Thomas, a master life coach certified in NLP (neuro linguistic programing), hypnotherapy, fitness and reiki, who traveled the world in pursuit of his own physical healing– seeing doctors, therapists, specialists, taking various medications and even doing ayahuasca ceremonies in the jungles of Costa Rica. It wasn't until he discovered the ancient art of deep diaphragmatic breathing, now known as breathwork, that he experienced profound and permanent transformation. Breathwork has changed my life as well. This is the one modality that I'd recommend to anyone who is struggling with anything. Because the results are instant. Instead of thinking your way through problems, you can simply breath your way to the solution. This breathwork technique allows you to release stress, trauma, anxiety and so much more by moving the stagnant energy that's trapped in your body. It's like 20 years of therapy in one session without saying a word. Click here to register for a Kurtis Lee Thomas Breathwork Detox.

In this episode of the Best Ever CRE Show, Stephen Lee-Thomas joins host Slocomb Reed to discuss his journey from IT professional to full-time multifamily investor. Lee-Thomas explains how he started as a passive investor in 2017 before transitioning to becoming a GP with a current portfolio of 1,400 units across six properties valued at over $100 million. He focuses on value-add properties in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, where he has experienced both successes and challenges, particularly with properties purchased using bridge debt during the recent interest rate increases. Lee-Thomas shares insights about market cycles, emphasizing that while some properties are currently struggling with debt service, he remains optimistic about future opportunities, especially given the lack of new construction starts and continued population growth in Texas markets. He stresses the importance of choosing the right partners and being prepared for challenging times in multifamily investing. Sponsors: Altra Running Sunrise Capital Learn more about your ad choices.
