556 Mike Maher (Take a Deep Breath)
Mike is a breathwork coach from the UK. After 15 years in the corporate world, Mike decided to leave to teach breathwork full time.
Mike has trained with many of the world’s leading breathwork innovators; such as Wim Hof, James Nestor and Patrick McKeown. Each of them has taught him a different approach to breathing that he loves to share with his students. Mike shares his inventive approach to breathwork with more than 150,000 subscribers – making breathwork techniques easy and accessible with guided practices, music, animations, quick explainers, and deep-dive interviews.

Great episode! I was wondering if we were going to keep getting these. I know you mentioned that you are building the infrastructure for the house. Are you finding yourself feeling guilty whereby you want to live somewhere relatively unpopulated and undeveloped(nature, forest etc.) but when you come there you start adding plumbing, water, electricity. All these things from the urban setting. There does seem to be this contradiction. It's almost like you have to draw the line somewhere otherwise you can keep going and next thing you know the location starts becoming another concrete jungle.
