Andy Puddicombe is not your typical entrepreneur—in his early twenties, he gave away everything he owned to train as a Buddhist monk. But after ten years, he decided he wanted to bring the benefits of his meditation techniques to more people. While running a meditation clinic in London, Andy met Rich Pierson, who had burned out on his job at a high-powered London ad agency. Together, they founded Headspace in 2010. Over ten years later, Headspace's guided meditation app has users in 190 countries and an annual revenue of over $100 million.

To demystify the mystical, Andy set up a meditation consultancy and began working with politicians, athletes (that sports science background finally came in handy), and business leaders.That's when Andy met Rich Pierson, who needed help dealing with the stress of the advertising world.

Headspace, the meditation app that's in 190 countries, and has 70 million users, was co-founded by my friend Rich. And the story is pretty incredible. Today Rich brings to life what the tipping point was to the start of this movement. What was going on in his life before Headspace. How Rich and Andy met. And then the impact they've had on meditation globally. Rich shares some really great insights, tips and advice on meditation. He tells us what Andy taught him when they first met. And then he tells me something that I had never thought about before when it comes to meditation, which was a real ah-ha moment for me. We talk about the impact of Covid on Headspace. And then Rich talks about what's next. This was a really heartfelt, open and incredibly honest conversation that I just didn't want to end. I learned loads. And it was really great to reconnect with Rich after a good few years. I hope you enjoy this chat as much as I did. So please do have a listen, leave a review, rating and subscribe.

Hi #eGPlearners do you need some Headspace?Working in healthcare whether as a GP, part of the primary care team or in hospitals can be emotionally stressful. There are many ways to manage stress and lately mindfulness is seen as an effective tool to support stress management. But access can be tricky – so let us look to technology to help in the form of Headspace.Edit  Headspace was founded in 2010 by Rich Pierson and Andy Puddicombe (who wrote the Headspace guide to Mindfulness and Medication).  The Headspace platform offers unique content varying from guided meditations to animations and videos via the Headspace website and mobile app, teaching users the techniques of mindfulness.The app is free to download and use with extra features behind a subscription paywall. These extra functions include modules to help deal with stress,  difficulties in focusing, sleep issues, chronic pain,  fear of flying and more. It also has dedicated sections to help with younger people such as settling the active child at night. The variable module length is useful with a minimum of 3 minutes meaning anyone can use at some point in the day. I love the animations which do draw me in, and the interface which is easy to use. The guided meditations work well and its simplicity is a key reason I do recommend this app to patients as well. With often limited timely access to mental health support, I have found this a useful tool for several patients as an adjunct to their treatment.  Just simply switch on the app, select your module and time length, audio or headphones on and go. The app also continues to work if you have to multi-task with your device. I accept this may defeat the object of guided mindfulness- but a useful feature to know about. Additionally, the app is resource packed including the obstacle section in the settings which are short free modules which offer advice on overcoming obstacles when trying to use the app such as worry, posture, stiffness, pain etc. With the rise of AI assistants like Google Home, Siri, and Alexa you can also set Headspace to run from these systems like using the Headspace Skill for your Amazon Echo. As mentioned the extra modules come at a cost. Last year Headspace was offered as part of the BMA membership at a reduced rate (as mentioned in a previous eGPlearning Podblast episode).Currently, the app is on offer for £44 for a year compared to £9.99 a month or £72 a year if paid annually. Another option is to sign up at a reduced rate via Anxiety UK as part of their membership. I do like the interface and it is simple to use, however, I would like to change the voice if possible to customise it more, also I can see how social sharing of goals can be a valuable asset, much how many running apps use this method as a motivator. However, I can also appreciate this is not a feature all users would want given how physical health and mental health are viewed. Feel free to given Headspace a try either for yourself or for patients. Do not forget to subscribe to our various channels and feel free to comment below or on the various channels. #TipThursday

We kicked off this year’s Speaker Series program with a powerful event that will set you up for success in 2016!  Andy Puddicombe, founder of Headspace, joined our own Jeff Weiner for a fascinating discussion around the power of mindfulness and meditation. Headspace was founded by Andy Puddicombe, a former Buddhist monk, and Rich Pierson, a creative developer. After 10 years of meditation training around the world, culminating in full ordination at a Tibetan Monastery, Andy returned to the UK with a clear aim: To make meditation accessible, relevant, and beneficial for as many people as possible. In partnership with Rich, this aim was realized through the creation of Headspace.
