AI is able to accelerate that. It’s able to, you know, provide a lot of
capacity and capabilities to two to three people. So whereas before,
you might have needed more individuals to start a company, now
you can do so quite quickly with a smaller number of folks.

Jason Garner – Author of … And I Breathed, My Journey from a Life of Matter to a Life That Matters
Within us is a warrior who can go out and do business, can pull
out the sword when it’s necessary, but in me is also this monk
who can use serenity and calmness and love and kindness when
that’s appropriate as well.
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.
