I followed my dreams – left school at 18. No degree. Failed economics. Ready to rock ’n’ roll. From bond trading to being an entrepreneur at 23, building a business from scratch to sale, with the help of so many people. The experts told me I would fail. I ignored them.
Meditation is the key to any success that came to me; the magic pill I stumbled upon at the height of my career. The rescue remedy that stopped burnout in its tracks, the “superfood” for the mind. My focus sharpened. More clarity, better leadership – hopefully!
I’ve meditated daily for 30 years. If it helped me, it can help you too. Kriya Yoga is my go-to practice.
Later, I set myself a challenge. To go into seclusion and silence indefinitely. No phone, no TV, no internet, no contact with family or friends. Far from home. I had to face myself – nowhere to hide. I lasted 300 days.
My purpose is to share the practical wisdom I’ve gained from both worlds – from the fast-paced boardroom to the calm meditation practices that help us stay mentally fit. I’ve also been vegan for thirty years.
