In today’s solo episode, I share a personal journey into how blending traditional meditation with modern neurofeedback technology is transforming my approach to stress, focus, and decision-making. I kick things off by reminding you of my Lifetime Consultant offer available at beyondcmo.com—a resource I’ve developed to help entrepreneurs navigate the complex challenges of scaling their businesses.

The Journey
I’ve been in the entrepreneurial game for decades, and I know firsthand how critical mental clarity and focus are when you’re running a business. Recently, I decided to take my meditation practice to the next level since I’ve always believed that the mind is like a muscle that needs regular training.

Why Meditation Matters

Meditation isn’t just about sitting quietly—it’s a way to rewire your brain, reduce stress, and boost decision-making. Even a short, consistent daily practice (5–10 minutes) can lower cortisol levels, improve sleep quality, and strengthen the brain areas that help you stay sharp under pressure.

The Sens.ai Experiment

I mentioned in a previous episode that Paola Telfer—who’s been on the show before—introduced me to her company Sens.ai. Sens.ai provided me with a cutting-edge neurofeedback device that monitors brainwave activity and gives real-time feedback on my focus levels.

How It Works

Neurofeedback: The headset alerts me when my mind starts to wander so I can refocus immediately.
Heart Rate Variability (HRV) Training: It guides me through breathing exercises, helping sync my heart rate with my breath, a crucial tool for managing stress.
Light Therapy: Using specific wavelengths of light, the device either boosts alertness or promotes relaxation. This part of the system fine-tunes my brain in a way that’s similar to how athletes train their bodies.

What I’ve Noticed So Far
I’m integrating this device into my routine twice a day—once to kick off my morning and again to unwind at night. The real-time feedback is eye-opening. When the device signals that I’m drifting, it’s like a little wake-up call to clear out that “monkey brain” and get back to center. While it’s early days in my experiment, I’m already seeing signs of improved focus and better stress management. Consistency is key, and I plan to share more updates as I track my progress.
