#267 Leaders Look Within - with Brent Pohlman
Aug 11, 202300:46:00Tap to summarize> Sign Up For Our Newsletter: http://www.firsthuman.com/being-human-newsletter/ This week I speak with Brent Pohlman, the author of 'Leaders Look Within' and owner and CEO of Midwest Laboratories. Brent started working at 15 in the company his father started and ended up in charge. Through decades of building on his father's legacy, Brent has learned that no matter what incentives you offer, employees will only truly listen to a manager that leads from the heart. After a cardiac scare in 2006 and the loss of his mother a decade later, Brent realised he needed to change how he led. Some introspection led him to a purpose-oriented and people-first approach. We talk: Developing a personal 'Why' and 'How' The power of monitoring our Heart Rate Variability Rubber bands and negative self-talk A killer morning routine Prayer in the workplace Links: Brent's Website

Jul 21, 202301:04:25Tap to summarize> Sign Up For Our Newsletter: http://www.firsthuman.com/being-human-newsletter/ This week I swing out with Andrew Genovese, a Dimensional Breathwork teacher/facilitator, sacred space holder, plant medicine guide, visionary, and New Earth Ambassador. On his journey to heal his traumas, Andrew found breathwork and now uses it to tap into the central nervous system to calm the mind and purify the body. This work allows us to let go of our physical body and permits the subconscious and unconscious mind to bring to the surface whatever is ready for us to process and release fully. He has now become an ambassador for a technology he claims to be as powerful as breathwork: reduction/oxidation or redox. Redox signaling molecules are produced within every cell in your body and act as cellular messengers or activators. These molecules are critical in keeping oxidation in check and preventing cellular damage. The company he represents claims to have created a bottled form of these molecules. We talk: How Andrew cured a chronic, painful condition through breathwork alone Why the lack of ‘chi’ is at the root of ill health The Redox breakthrough The ending of the dark age of the Kali Yuga Links: Andrew's Website
