This conversation is a masterclass on grounding, presence, and the link between routine and resilience. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, this episode will offer practical insights to regain control and move with purpose. About the Guest:Jason Saltzman is a seasoned entrepreneur with two successful exits, co-chair of MIT’s REAP program, and a mentor for founders at Techstars and beyond. He blends hard-earned entrepreneurial experience with mindfulness, advocating for the power of small habits in managing anxiety, building resilience, and staying intentional in high-pressure environments. Key Takeaways: Mornings are your greatest opportunity to reset and reclaim focus. Mental clarity begins with micro-habits—like making your bed with presence.
