It’s not a straight line to the top. And so what I found in talking to people
on my podcast is we heard the obstacles, the things that didn’t go right,
the things and adversity in their life that got them on the path they’re on,
and they didn’t start here and go there without a lot of bumps and changes.

Jason Garner – Author of … And I Breathed, My Journey from a Life of Matter to a Life That Matters
For me, it’s all about daily practice. So I think when I was in business, I
had a daily practice that look like, don’t well, jump up out of bed, grab
my Blackberry at the time, check my email, rush through the day, don’t
breathe, don’t eat. Well, work, work, work, work, work, and then stress
about work when I was at home. And I think that daily practice describes
everyone’s lives, right?
Jason Garner
Jason Garner spent the first 37 years of his life running through the world holding his breath. Raised by a single mother and constantly moving from house to house, he threw himself into school and business, believing he had to be the best in order to be loved. From a weekend job at a flea market, he fought his way up to owning a concert promotion company and eventually became an executive at a Fortune 500 company. Along the way, he was married and divorced twice, raised two children largely on his own, met rock stars and sports legends, and accumulated wealth—until a series of life-shifting events, sparked by the sudden death of his mother, brought everything to a halt and forced him to confront his ego. In the quiet that followed, Jason stepped off the treadmill of constant striving and immersed himself in deep personal work. He studied health, spirituality, and the mind with renowned teachers, found the love of his life, and—perhaps for the first time—allowed himself to truly breathe. His journey led to a profound belief that life itself can be a meditation and that every act, no matter how ordinary, holds the potential to be an expression of love. He now shares the perspectives gained from this path—embracing the balance of money and happiness, business and spirituality, and the simple truth that we are not alone. Jason believes we are each perfectly placed in this moment to experience and transform life—together.
