Our Focus
mind and Consciousness
Often assumed to represent the most valuable tool in both life and business for problem solving and decision making, the mind, and its relationship to consciousness, is often misunderstood. As a result of this limited scope, fear-based thinking, “analysis paralysis” and resistance to change often occurs, severely limiting ones confidence pursuing a path that has never been traveled. Mastering ways of balancing thinking with intuition, expanding consciousness, and taking a “mindful” approach to life and business can often allow one to embrace creativity and innovation and build a successful, impactful life strategy.
The Athletic Performance Spectrum
For most people, injury prevention, rehabilitation from injury and athletic performance enhancement are mutually exclusive processes. In fact, they are actually part of the same spectrum and influence each other significantly. Through the development of a truly integrative approach to the human body around this spectrum, it is possible to not just elevate the way an individual’s body performs, but the way this approach can be incorporated into disruptive business models.
CANNABIS & Psychedelics
As natural, psychoactive compounds continue to evidence their profound ability to transform people’s health in clinical research, the untapped potential of these compounds has brought forth a new era of preventive medicine and health transformation. With that has also come regulatory challenges, legal challenges and misinformation. In the world of plant medicine, the surface has only been scratched yet the path to success is not an easy one. Endless opportunities exist for the disruptive entrepreneur to successfully participate in a true “emerging” industry with the right insight and direction.
In the future: Psychedelic-Assisted-Therapy
Often assumed to represent the most valuable tool in business for problem solving and analysis, the mind is too often a source of fear-based thinking, “analysis paralysis” and can severely limit ones confidence pursuing a path that has never been traveled. Mastering ways of balancing thinking with intuition and a “mindful” approach to business can often allow one to turn creativity and innovation into a successful, impactful business strategy.
