Welcome to Kwik Brain Bite sized brain hacks for busy people who want to learn faster and achieve more. I'm your coach, Jim Kwik.
- [00:09]
B
Free your mind.
- [00:11]
A
Let's imagine if we could access 100% of our brain's capacity.
- [00:15]
B
I wasn't high, wasn't wired, just clear. I knew what I needed to do.
- [00:19]
A
And how to do it. I know kung fu. Show me. Welcome back, Kwik Brains. I am your host, your brain coach, Jim Kwik. And today we're talking about something most people never really think about, even though it affects us every second of every day. And we're talking of course about the air that we breathe. Your air most certainly is full of invisible particles that could be draining your focus, your energy, your mood and hurting your health and that of your family. So my guest today is someone on a mission to change all of that. Michael Feldstein is the founder of Jasper, a revolutionary air purification company. He has spent years in disaster recovery, helping families recover after fires and floods, mold damage. He helped my family personally, which I'll talk about in this episode. We had some major mold issues in our home. Jasper, we're really proud of this. I have units in every room in the house, in the office here, I could see it here in our bedroom. It's dramatically helped my sleep. And also Mike will be on our stage at Limitless Live in San Diego this year to go even deeper. So for those of you joining us at limitlesslive.com, we can't wait to see you there. We're going to talk about how to breathe smarter and how clean air creates a really clear mind. This conversation is going to help you breathe, think and perform better. So let's jump in. Welcome to the show, Mike.
- [01:55]
B
Let's do it, man. Thanks for having me, dude.
- [01:57]
A
I love if you're watching this on YouTube, which I always suggest you join our 1.8 million subscribers there where we put the extended version. I thought that was a fake backdrop, but that, that is gorgeous and it's a perfect backdrop. Maybe the water, the mountains. It just really sets a tone for this conversation. Mike, maybe we could start. What inspired you to start Jasper? Was there a maybe a quote, a breath changing moment that made this very personal for you?
- [02:30]
B
Yeah, for sure. So my background was in wildfire, restoration, floods, mold. So big toxic disasters, flood, fire, hurricane, mold, things like that. We would go to wherever was the most damaged part of the US or Canada and help restore and clean homes after natural disasters. And we would also consult people on their air. But the Biggest thing was mold and wildfire, specifically wildfire smoke. I would go into these wildfire areas and the way you would clean up a home, whether it's mold or a fire, is you clean the surfaces and you clean the air. But in everybody's regular life, everybody's cleaning windows and doors and bathrooms and counters and scrubbing and mopping and vacuuming and not cleaning their air at all. And after spending years in restoration remediating toxic environments and then looking back at how we were cleaning our homes, we were never cleaning our air at all. That was just really eye opening me. So Jasper was originally created to be specifically for wildfire smoke because we would remediate these homes after wildfires and then a couple months later or weeks later, the smoke would re infiltrate the home and recontaminate everything. So it was clear that people, especially I was thinking about California at the time, people needed air scrubbing in their homes. So these machines that we would use when I was doing restoration are called air scrubbers. So air purifiers are the little machines you get, you know, Best Buy, Walmart, Amazon, Home Depot, the small little machines that incrementally clean your air. We were using air scrubbers on the job site and then I was comparing and contrasting that to air purifiers and they were like a toy in comparison. So the mission for Jasper is and was to create an air scrubber, the world's first and only air scrubber designed for people's homes. Because if it's, it could be so effective, but if it's loud and ugly, no one's going to use it. They're going to turn it off, they're going to put it in the closet. So we wanted something that's beautiful and quiet but still very industrial and commercial grade. So Jasper is the child of a mold man like me with a wife who's really into design and aesthetics. And the child of that is an air scrubber that looks good and is quiet and designed for your home.
- [04:43]
A
And I love it because it's passive. Right. So many things out there require you to put your focus and attention to it. You know, you and I were having a conversation before we started recording. You know, you could go, you could.
- [04:56]
B
Go weeks, they say three weeks without food, three days without water, three minutes without air.
- [05:03]
A
Right. And then even like people are very conscious about water nowadays. Even you go to a restaurant, people don't want tap water or they don't want the ice on airplanes or they're concerned about the plastics, you know, out of water. Like, there's the. The knowledge is catching up, you know, in terms of health, but you don't hear about air. And, like, you'll. Maybe people will drink two or three liters of water, but how much. How many liters of air are people breathing?
- [05:25]
B
17,000 liters a day. The awareness is coming up rapidly. Just today, I got sent two huge, big, big feature articles. One was in the Washington Post about how we breathe more microplastics than we drink and how everyone's been thinking like, you know, they're trying to protect themselves. And I'm so grateful. The water awareness has really come a long way. Food awareness, you know, glyphosate, organic. And air is just that next frontier. And the cool thing is, once you become water aware, you can trust your body to make a good decision. Like growing up, you know, you drink from the hose and now you think back on and you're like, you know what? That did kind of take plasticky. Well, that's because it was. And once you start drinking filtered water, then when you try to drink tap water, you can taste the chemicals. You could taste the chlorine if you're drinking out of a thin plastic bottle, especially one that's been heated, because when they get transported, you can taste the plastic in your water. So your sense of taste allows you to decipher between filtered water, clean water, and contaminated water. And I always tell people, there's only one really bad thing about having a Jasper and filtering your air is you may become an air snob all of a sudden when you go to people's homes or you're walking in the mall or the Uber, the Airbnb, you become a lot more sensitive to chemicals and toxins and mold and dust. But ignorance is not bliss. When it comes to my lungs and my health, I would rather be aware and navigate my environment intentionally and intelligently as opposed to just ignorance is bliss and be completely blind to what I'm breathing into my lungs.
- [06:58]
A
You know, I know our audience, they're very proactive, right? They want to get ahead of things and they want to be more air aware. What percentage of time do you. We talked about in the opening how what's in our home could be challenging, you know, to our brain and so much more our health. How much time are people spending indoors now? What percentage would you guess?
- [07:19]
B
Or we're saying 90% for a long time, and I think it's generally bumped up to 95% people. A lot of people spend almost no time inside. Especially it was 90% for, like, a decade before Work From Home movement began, Right. You know, you're getting a third of your life in your home. That's just sleep. So this is a really crazy stat. A maximum security prisoner often gets one hour outside per day, which is more than the average American spends outside.
- [07:53]
A
So if we're spending 90, 95% of our time indoors, what are the biggest hidden, invisible air problems, challenges that are compromising our health, that's inside our homes.
- [08:06]
B
And it's wild because if you think about it, like, when did indoors even become a thing? Like, you know, started with a roof over our heads to keep the rain out, the element out, maybe some walls for some wind, protect the food, a little bit of shelter. But home was. That was shelter where we could go to sleep safely with our families. And it's become. Humans love comfort so much that we've built environments where we want perfect temperature. All the, you know, we. We want Uber eats in a click. We want so many comforts and conveniences. But the problem is, especially since the 1970s, since it was kind of the energy crisis and the energy efficiency movement, homes have become these airtight boxes. So if your home can't breathe, you can't expect the person inside the home to be able to breathe. And then on top of that, through, you know, mass construction and industrialization here over the last many decades in America, the problem is we built homes so quickly. And when a developer. Most people live in a home or an apartment or a condo that was built at scale. So when the developers are sitting around, they go, how many thousand acres, how many homes can we build? How fast, how cheap? And your H vac system is the lungs of your home, and they just basically shove it in wherever they can. There's very little attention being paid to the vitality of the environment. And why are we even building a home in the first place? So the big problems with homes is they're built very cheaply, they're built very quickly. So they're airtight and they're trapped, which means they trap all. All of the pollen and the mold, and everything that comes from outside to inside gets trapped inside. But then all of the indoor pollution, which is, you know, bringing your shoes inside, cooking toxic cleaning products, hairsprays. It can be pets, all the stuff plus the building materials themselves, the paint, the drywall, the VOCs. VOCs are volatile organic compounds. So when you open new furniture, that new car smell, or you open a new package, and you get hit in the face. But that chemical bomb, those are VOCs, and they're also being trapped in your home. So the problem is the way that we're building our homes and our furniture and everything now is just horrible for our health and it's really polluting our air and it's starting to really impact us.
- [10:28]
A
So I want to, I want to get to like, you know, five quick tips that people could do, you know, after listening this episode, to be able to mitigate that, but before I do, I just. People often know what to do, but they, they need a reason why. Right? Reasons create some kind of results and some, some, some purpose behind it, getting them to do what they do. So you talk about these invisible threats, mold, these chemicals, the dust and so on. How, how have you seen, what's this research showing that, how these things affecting our, our brain, you know, our, our. Is it affecting our focus? Add brain energy, brain fog, you know, what is, what, what have you seen there? Real quick as you feed and fuel your mind with this information rich podcast, it's just as vital to feed and fuel your brain and your body with high quality nutrition. And you know, I'm always looking for the best, simple, quick ways to optimize my energy and mental performance. Nourishing my cells is something I take very seriously because we are only as healthy as our cells. It's where your energy, your strength and focus come from. If your cells aren't working, nothing else works. So I started taking timelines of Mitopure every day. And I noticed a huge difference in my recovery after workouts, my focus, my productivity and my performance. It comes in soft gels, gummies and powder. Our family's favorite are the gummies because they taste great. Mitopure is backed by gold standard clinical trials shown to improve muscle strength, enhance mitochondrial function, and support your brain so that you could think, focus and age better.

B
Think about that feeling. You could be in an office, in a classroom, in an elevator, anywhere, in a hotel room with a window that doesn't open. You're like, I just need to go outside and get a breath of fresh air. That's because the air is polluted either by carbon dioxide or by particulate that you really need to go outside and get a breath of fresh air. Or let me just open the windows in my car and clear my head. We literally associate getting that fresh air with clearing our mind, clearing our head. And that's not random. There's several things here. So quick, quick hitting kind of studies. And if anyone like you can, you can Google these. It's one of the most studied topics but under talked about. And so they took SAT people writing the SATs and looked at their test scores. And their SAT scores were directly correlated with the air quality. Also chess grand masters at chess. The quality of their moves was also very dependent on the air quality that they were breathing. A lot of folks who have seasonal allergies think about what allergies do to you. They impact your skin, your respiratory, like all of it. I call sleep healing time. I find sleep to be kind of a dormant word. But like when you're sick, it's at night, you go to bed, you heal, you hope you wake up in the morning feeling a little bit better. But the problem is when our indoor air is literally worse than outside, we're being beat down 24 hours a day by the pollen and the mold and the chemicals. So when we can turn our bedrooms into clean air sanctuaries, our bo. It's our bodies can feel themselves if we get out of the way. So a huge amount of people have their seasonal allergies go away. About 30% of people stop snoring. And almost everybody gets a dramatic reduction in their, the frequency of their snoring. You know, everybody thought it was like weight and genetics and posture and things like that. But like, of course, what are you breathing all night? Air. So if you can take that air and make it 20, 30, 40 times cleaner and go from there and the average breath that you're taking inside. When we grab a sample of the air in an average home and we put it, send it to the lab and they look it under a microscope. What's in there? Bacteria, mold, pollen, dust, dust mites, insect parts, you know, the rubber from the tires, drywall dust. We're not breathing pure clean air. And we've learned like if you go to a pond at the side of the road and fill up a glass, just because it looks clean, it doesn't mean it's safe to drink. We've learned that just because the water is visibly clean, it doesn't mean it's safe to drink. And with our air, because we breathe all day, every day, subconsciously while we sleep, while we're awake, it's the first thing we do when we're born. It's the last thing we do before we die, that our bodies have just become completely numb to it. It's like if you go into someone's home and you smell the cooking or the pets, within five or ten minutes you don't notice it anymore. It doesn't mean it's not impacting you. And a lot of the fragrances nowadays are very endocrine disrupting. So your fragrance, this is a really big one. So I like to say that synthetic fragrances are the new secondhand smoke because they're everywhere now. They're in Ubers, they're in hotels, they're in restaurants, they're everywhere. Colognes, perfumes, deodorants. And get this. When you, your the digestive enzymes in your gut that break down food, 50% of that response happens from breath smelling your food. That's why if you smell a delicious meal, you start salivating. That's not random because then that saliva tells your gut, hey, steak incoming, asparagus incoming. Start preparing to receive the foods. What happens is when you are, when your olfactory system, which is your, the nerves and your ability to smell are hijacked by fragrances and they block your ability to smell. Your gut doesn't know what foods are coming in so you can't absorb your nutrients properly, you can't break down the foods. And this is why you become an air snob. Because the good news is your olfactory System regenerates every 30 to 60 days. So when you start breathing clean air at night, all of a sudden that, that system regenerates your sense of smell, your sense of taste, everything just starts working better. When you're, you're thinking fuel your sleeping, fuel air, your sort. When you clean up that source, just everything gets easier.

A
You know, on, on sleep. This was a big deal for me. You know, I had mentioned we had, we live on the water. We had a mold issue. We contacted with your remediation background. We had to do this whole thing right. And then you know, we have two little ones. My wife was pregnant at the time and so we a little bit vulnerable and so got got your units right away. The what I noticed the big thing was my mic. I'm very sensitive to where my mind is at any given time. When I'm working, when I'm focusing, when I'm writing, when I'm reading, studying and so on performing. So having Jasper in my office, big game changer for my performance in the bedroom where we spend, you know, the majority of our time. My, my deep sleep went up almost 20% the first week. My, I slept probably 15% more also as well. You know, I probably added a good 30 minutes to my sleep which was extraordinary. I don't know if this is something you, you, you see often. But I love it.
- [17:47]
B
Oh sorry, go ahead.
- [17:49]
A
No, I just saying like and it's passive. It's literally just plug in and purify. It was like. And I don't have to think about it. You know my family doesn't have to think about it. You know we ended up getting units for parents, for siblings, their family and they're seeing similar results and it's kind of obvious also but we have, we have a couple fish tanks you know in our home and when the fish get sick well what do you do? You, you don't have to take them to the vet. We change the water right. But the air is like our water that we're around all the time. We don't see it just like fish don't see water. But we never think that clean air, right.
- [18:22]
B
Same thing. So two things there. Number one, I'll speak to the sleep and to the fish for the sleep. So last year we sent out we did a study where we an anecdotal. A non scientific study we'll call it a community led study. We gave 150 people Jaspers in exchange for one month of sleep data on their aura. And the average person slept 18% more deep sleep, 25 minutes more sleep per night and fell asleep five minutes faster. Which sounds impressive but it's like if you stop breathing mold and pol and dust and bacteria of course you're going to calm down faster, your body's going to relax easier because it's in a safe environment. So sleep is profound especially like it. One of my favorite things is the fact that people stop snoring is not something that we saw coming. But like what a beautiful thing. A lot of couples that were sleep divorced because one of the cup the husband usually snores. So they're not sharing a room anymore. They get the Jasper put it on fan speed three on dark mode to get really clean air in the bedroom. He stops snoring and they're sharing a room together. So that's just like awesome and like you said with the fish. So when there's typically contaminated waters in the ocean the fish get sick. They could easily just swim to another part of the ocean that's cleaner but they don't because they have no idea the water that they're in. And that's the exact same with us. So like we go to people's homes all the time and test their air and most people are living in really really toxic indoor environments and they're. The fact that people are Mouth taping and using no strips or CPAP machines before first just cleaning the fuel, like cleaning the actual air they're breathing. That's like getting water wings instead of cleaning the water in your pool.
- [20:09]
A
It's we have a tenant, you know, with the team and with clients that the first fix is always environment. You know, even for 30 years I've talked about, you know, 10 keys for a limitless brain. We talk about exercise and sleep and nutrition, but always on the list is a clean environment. You know, I think your environment is stronger than your willpower. And so what, what would you say? Maybe we could give people 5, 4, 5, 6 quick tips.
- [20:39]
B
Number one is definitely don't wear shoes in your house. 95 of shoes have fecal matter on them and it's probably at least as high for glyphosate. So your shoes are out in the world you're in. Subways, gas stations, malls, restaurants, dogs are pooping, chemicals are being sprayed. It's a toxic world out there. And your shoes are not immune to picking that stuff up. Then you bring it in your home, you walk on your floor, on your carpets, it stays in there. Now that's in your indoor environment, whether that's your pets kicking it up or you walking around or your kids crawling around, it has that profound impact. So keeping the shoes out is an easy one. Another one is when you're cooking. Either use, you should use your range hood on a pretty high setting. So we'll call tip number two, like cooking. So use your range hood or your vent or open your windows. Because when you have high heat and protein, it creates something called pah, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon carbons. This is the same thing we test for after huge wildfires that is highly cancer causing. So even though the food and the oils might have been clean, you get that chemical reaction at a heat that causes a big problem. And then if it's not being vented or filtered, that goes into your furniture, your clothing, your beds, and just adds to the toxic burden in your home. Also make sure your vent works. So do a tissue test, hold up a paper towel or a Kleenex, turn that fan on above your stove and make sure it's actually pulling. And then make sure that thing is venting outside. More often than not, it's either not pulling at all or it's venting somewhere in your home, like a crawl space or an attic or behind the wall. You really cooking indoors is a very new human thing. And we want to make sure that all of that off Gassing is being vented outside. Same for your bathroom. Take a tissue, turn on that bathroom fan and make sure it works. Now a lot of people think bathroom fans are for the poop smells. They are, but they're really there for relative humidity after a shower. So you should really keep your bathroom fan on for at least an hour or even two after a shower. Just think about how much moisture your towel can soak up and absorb. And it's drying in your room. So that humidity, you want to be venting that outside. That's why the bathroom fan is there or a window, use it. Never hang, dry your laundry inside. Ever, ever, ever. When I was doing mold remediation, this was the number one cause of significant indoor mold. People doing hang drying their clothes indoors. If you are doing it, make sure that door is shut and that bathroom fan is on continuously because you do not want all that humidity buildup in your home. Your home is simply not built for that. So we got shoes, we got cooking, we got bathroom, we got the laundry room. And then also just pay attention to the cleaning products that you're using. There's a lot of good alternatives out there. So whether that's your, you know, all the Cloroxes and the Lysol and the fragrance cleaning products like that lemon deodorizer smell, new splash, there's no lemons in there. That's just pure chemicals. So look for non toxic cleaning products. I don't have a particular one that I recommend, but just, just look for non toxic cleaning products. You just really don't want scented things in your home. That's just really bad for you.
- [23:49]
A
Candles too, right?
- [23:50]
B
Candles too. There are some better candles and I'm going to start doing some testing. Typically like beeswax candles with a wooden wick are much better. If you are burning candles indoors or incense, especially candles. First of all, if you're going to be burning candles or incense outside, you have to be scrubbing your air. It's not optional, it really pollutes your air. But when you're putting the candle out, either do it outside or get a candle that has like a firm lid. It's when you blow out the candle, it's not hot enough, so it's not combusting and that black smoke is just filling your room. So but yeah, ideally you're not using candles inside. If you are, get a higher quality beeswax wood wick type of candle.
- [24:28]
A
Are house plants moving the needle at all?
- [24:31]
B
Good question. There was a NASA study done a few decades ago showing how snake Plants and a few others move the needle. No one's ever been able to reproduce that study. So just to be clear, trees, literally, Jasper's logo is a tree. Trees are still the ultimate air purification system, but look at the size of them outside. I've done a lot of personal tests indoors with all my air quality testing machines. And no matter how many plants I put into a small room, I've never seen the particulate count go down at all. In order for you to have enough plants to move the needle, you would literally need to have trees in your home. And then all of a sudden the pests and the humidity. Plants don't want to live inside like they want to be outside mold. Also, mold was never an issue outside because nature's air purifier is wind, sun, rain and trees. And our homes are built so tightly that we left nature outside. That's why we have problems. So the whole point of Jasper is to make your indoor air as close to nature as possible. Without, you know, that's why we're not adding humidity or UV or ionizers. It's just pure filtration. But I do love plants. Just keep them small and they're there for the environment, for the ambiance, the way they make you feel. I think having something living in your home can be great, but they don't filter or scrub your air.
- [25:50]
A
I mean, also what I love, and my wife especially loves this because we had something else before is that this. It was. No, it was, it was louder. And so this one is incredibly quiet. I don't even have to unplug it when I'm feeling filming at all. You know, where I would have to, you know, unplug like our office refrigerator or something like that because it picks up the ambient noise. I mean, it's like whisper quiet. I don't know if there's some kind of intelligence behind that, but it seems like it just adapts and just like automates like the purification.
- [26:23]
B
So the, the big number on the screen is called your PM2.5, which is your particulate matter. The reason that we focus on PM 2.5 is that's the particle size that's small enough to enter your lungs and your bloodstream, but too big to be breathed out. So it's that sneaky middle size. Extra ultra fine particles tend to come in and go out. The PM 2.5 is the most harmful particle size for people and that's the one that we're monitoring on Jasper. So when you look at the screen, you know, you see the green light, you see the number in real time. Jasper's. If you put one in your living room, in your main area, you want to use smart mode. So the sensor on board is detecting things in real time. So you just keep it there. It's silent as soon you start cooking or cleaning or there's a wildfire smoke. People, if they have a kid and the kid used the vaporizer and they come back inside, even just the off gas of them breathing sets it off, or if people's dog goes outside and walks by it, it will go up. But the ones in people's bedrooms, it's really important. Unless you're a silent sleeper, 91% of Jasper customers actually prefer white noise. The airflow sound is actually called pink noise. And it's really helpful for sleep. So fan speed 3 gets your air 20, 30, 40 times cleaner depending on the room size. Now you're really scrubbing the air. So in the bedroom you want to hit that dark mode button to turn off the light and really scrub at a higher level. But the ones in a general area, you want to just put it on smart mode, plug and purify, set it, forget it. You know, it was really important to me to make a product with no wi fi, no Bluetooth, no apps, no emf, no not another appliance to manage because it has to look good, be quiet and be headache free because we're trying to remove from your toxic load and you're, you're not add bandwidth. And another thing for you to manage, like my willpower is really not good. So for me, environment is everything. It's who I hang out with. You know, I want to eat good, drink good, breathe good and be around positive people and, and good lighting. And if you can do those things, then my body and my mind are supported to do what they got to do. But if I'm hanging around negative people and in an indoor toxic environment with bad lighting, I have a really hard time thriving and a lot of my bandwidth is taken up like that.
- [28:37]
A
So, so I mean you touched on it then. So if you were to design like the ultimate brain performance, brain health space, your dream office, your bedroom setup, what are, what would, what would you include?
- [28:52]
B
Of course we're scrubbing the air and I'm gonna like it would be. It's different if someone's building a home from scratch. But even still the big things, like I say, your sleep is only as good as the weakest link. So you could have the most comfortable bed in the world, but if it's Loud and there's bright lights and it's hot, you're gonna have a horrible sleep. You know, it's all about the weakest link being strong. So if you think about an ultimate sleep environment, you want it to be dark, a little bit cooler, you want your air quality to be pure and then you want no loud noises or vibration, which the pink noise is really great, especially for people who live in the city because any outdoors, like traffic or sirens or outside ambient noise or their H vac system turning on and off, that fluctuating noise is really disruptive to sleep. So I want dark, cool, clean, crisp air, a good bed and non toxic linens.
- [29:49]
A
I love it. I love it. I, I think you brought so much attention and awareness to the thing that could be a big needle mover and I like that. I like again, set it and forget it. You know, there's that peace of mind. You plug it in and you purify. Even when we have one in, in the, in the kitchen dining area. And if it gets a little, little smoke, it'll, it'll kick on, the colors will change. You could hear it, but it gives you peace of mind knowing that you're.
- [30:14]
B
Protecting and for anybod babies or is having a baby soon really important? I guess this will be my fifth tip for, for anyone. If you're setting up your baby's nursery, it's super important. Don't wait till the last month. Especially if you're painting to a new color. You want that off gassing period to be done. And I, I like to buy new things as much as I can. Like I wouldn't want to buy a used mattress or a used couch, but a secondhand crib or change table especially is great because it's already finished the off gassing process and somebody else home. But if you're setting up your nursery, do it a few months before your baby's born and either scrub the air or leave the window open so that off gassing happens before baby's born. And then last but not least, don't use a diaper pail in your baby's bedroom. If it smells like poop, it is poop and if it is poop, it's bacteria. The last thing your little baby needs when they come home is to be breathing in heavy, heavy duty levels of airborne bacteria with their new little baby lungs. So if you need to use a diaper pail, fine, get a small one, put it outside your baby's room and empty it every single day because and if not, there's a challenge that I recommend you do. Put that diaper pail in your room one night and see how it feels to sleep in that environment. It just shows to the awareness, you know, parents love their babies so much, but we're so unaware that we put our babies in a room with a dirty diaper pail all night long. So it just, that's not an intentional decision. And if we were so oblivious to that, what else are we not paying attention to?

Yeah, when I heard you on an interview, we immediately removed that from little ones. And that makes a difference. And you know, we have a unit in each of their, in each of their nurseries, which gives us peace of mind, which is huge. If everyone understood just like one simple truth about the air that they are breathing, what would you wish it could be and what would the ripple effect be like? How would it change people's lives and their family's lives if they understood one simple truth that I think said simpliest?
- [32:22]

If this was 500 years ago or like 300 years ago, even, we wouldn't, we weren't filtered. We didn't have to filter our water or look for organic food or filter our air. This is not a thing that we should be needing to do. And I hope there's a year, whether it's 50 or 300 years in the future, where there's a world where we once again are not. We do not contaminate our rivers, our lakes, our oceans, our air, our soil, our food quality. But that's not the reality of the situation. And unless you want to move to the Amazon and live in the rainforest, which still has wildfires now, our modern ways of living are not really great, but we still, this is the world that we live in. So eating organic, filtering our water, filtering our air. This is table steaks. You know, I like the comfort and the conveniences of a modern life, but it's really important. We want our, we want our indoor environment and our food to be as close to nature and as it was naturally intended as possible. So I would not suggest drinking your city tap water. I would not suggest eating really low quality foods, and I wouldn't suggest breathing very polluted and contaminated air. And you know, I've tested the air in 5,000 homes. Nobody has good air. When I was testing homes after wildfires and floods, and then I would bring my testing equipment into the normal home, like, oh my God, normal air is not much better. And it's not a matter of if you have mold at home. Everybody has mold. It's what species and what's your mold load? So simply put, our indoor environments have very dirty, very toxic, very polluted air. It's impacting our energy, our sleep, our performance, our focus. And it's not that difficult. So if there's one, the simplest thing that I think someone could do is, you know, you don't have to go all the way down the rabbit hole at once and get every supplement and every book and every sauna and cold plunge and red light. There's levels to this game. But if at the very least you can have filtered drinking water and clean air in your bedroom where you're sleeping, the benefits are going to be so undeniable that you know, start, start from there. Create a clean air sanctuary. Remember what your home is for in the first place. It's for you and your family to have a place to rest and retreat and recover. And that starts with your air.
- [34:45]
A
It's undeniable, right? I, I really. How do people get their, their unit and what would they, what would they experience, you know, once, once they have it?
- [34:56]

Oh yeah, a couple quick things I'll tell everybody out there. So you know, Jasper is made to be industrial grade. It's a commercial grade machine based on my background. So it's made from steel, no plastic. It has commercial grade sensors, the fans in the motor. Everything about it is like what we would almost use on a mold job site when we were doing toxic mold removal. And that's just the level, the way we built our homes. We need to improve our air filtration to scale with the toxic environments that we have now. So what? And I will tell everybody out there, if it's not a no brainer for you, send it back. You know, typically within the first three or four nights, people are waking up feeling amazing. Their energy is better, their sleep is better. If they had phlegm or congestion, it's gone. So that's why my job is so easy. I just tell people about air and we basically do no marketing and no advertising. Our, our marketing is our customers telling their friends and telling their family. So I love, I love the mission that we're on. The other thing is we have a lifetime warranty, which I'm very proud of as well. So even if your Jasper breaks two years, three years, four years later, we ship you a brand new Jasper, you take the Jasper out of the box, you put the old one back in the box, we give you a prepaid shipping label and we send UPS to pick it up from your front door. Because I hate when I Buy a product and I get their warranty. And then when it has an issue, they want me to send them photos, videos, get a weird shaped box, go to FedEx, spend half a day, ship it. And that's not cool. You know, they say treat people how you want to be treated. And if you're in a position where you run a business, you should treat your customers how you want to be treated when you're a customer. And we live that every single day. So we, that's just how we operate here. The things that you will notice right away if you put Jasper, if you're getting one, only put it in your bedroom on Fan Speed 3 or the highest setting that you can where you, where you enjoy the white noise or the pink noise and put it on dark mode and it's undeniable. You don't even have to track your sleep and then you'll just feel better. And when you're sleeping 20% better. Wow, that compounds like crazy. The energy, the focus, the allergies, the itchy skin, the dry eyes is just quite undeniable. It's like when you go camping or in the nature or you go for a hike and you feel awesome. You should feel that way all the time. So that's my commitment to you. That's our guarantee. If it's not undeniably different, we'll take it back and we'll give you all your money back too. So it either will make a big difference in your life and if it doesn't, you have nothing to lose.

And so we. You. I want to thank you on, you know, we, we kind of pressed your team and you're very generous for our listeners. You have an exclusive discount if people.
- [37:37]
B
Before the discount. I really want to tell people this. The truth is you can make a really good DIY air purifier too. So it's about $150 or less from Home Depot. You can do it in a few hours if you type in DIY air filter or Corsi Rosenthal box. C O R S I Rosenthal box. There's or DIY box filter. You can make a really, really great DIY air filter. The downsides are it's going to be a little bit loud and a little bit ugly and you're going to have to spend a few hours doing it. Jasper was designed, it's not for everyone. It's for people who want the best performance with service excellence. That just makes it easy. It shows up, you know, it ramps up and down when they're cooking and cleaning What I don't want people to do is go and buy some little cheap plastic box full of nothing but empty promises and then they, they don't even realize it's their air because they buy a machine that doesn't work. So for anyone out there, that Jasper is not in your price point, no problem. But I really suggest that you look at a DIY option because the machines that you're getting at the stores, those cheaper, smaller machines just aren't cutting it. So you know, if somebody starts not wearing their shoes or cracking a window or using the range hood, we celebrate that Jasper was built for people that want a beautiful machine that's quiet, that's headache free. So here's the deal. You know the reason we're not at Best Buy, Walmart, Amazon, Home Depot, we're not in any stores at all because they cannot give you the quality of service and education that we do. And that's why we don't sell through any of those vendors no matter how many units we can make. We also don't have a smaller machine because you can't, it's the smallest it could be while doing the job really well. So here's the deal everybody. Code quick is $400 off. Our thing is we come, we educate and we give you the best possible deal. I know I typically buy things, I take action when there's a good moment and there's a good deal to do. So. So codequik kwik is 400 off. If we have any deals on our website at the time, enter Code Quick. It'll be more than that, guaranteed. Now this deal is going to be active till the end of November but last year because of Black Friday, we were two months back ordered and we likely will be again. But right now if you, you know, we ship out Jasper very quickly. Anyone who doesn't buy by the end of November, we'll leave Code Quick up forever. It'll be 200 off. But you know, this is really important issue and I want to just give people the best price of the year and give your community early access before Black Friday. And so yeah, that's code quick, it's $400 off. So for anybody who this message resonates with, we're here for you.

We spend so much time trying to upgrade what we could see. We upgrade our phones, our diets, our routines. But how do we nourish ourselves through food, water and air. And as you mentioned, you go three weeks without food, you go three days without water. Only a few minutes. Three minutes without air. And if somebody is drinking again, two liters of water. And you know, all the challenges with the plastics and tap water and the floor, everything, but we're doing close to 20,000 liters of air every single day. You know, we forget, you know, the one thing that's everywhere we go, which is the air around us. So if you made it this far, that means that you're committed to learning, improving your life and that's something that everyone should be proud of. What I would say suggest is I would challenge everybody to make sure you implement, you know, one of Mike's quick tips right away. Right.
