Who am I?
History
For the past six years, I’ve been building Still Life.
Stillness is not just a practice for me; it’s a lifestyle.
Strengths
Personality
I asked ChatGPT to rank me on 5 personality assessments based on all of our chat history (we talk a lot), then compile and analyse the trends. It was very interesting. If you’re curious, the results are below:
I think that will give you a much broader, more impartial idea of who I am! The only thing I didn’t agree with is it’s assessment on emotional vulnerability. I believe the role I play on the Still Life Podcast is set up a world-class Stillness expert perform open-heart therapy on tape.
Habits
Habits change into character. - Ovid
- I meditate for 90 minutes everyday
- I built a business alongside one of the world’s best therapists—then systemised his mastery. After years of this, you’d hope I’d have established a rigorous practice…
- I workout daily
- I have 4 years of training under a Mr. Olympia winner.
- I have completed an Ashtanga yoga teacher training and continued an ongoing mentorship for the past 5 years.
- I run once a week for up to 18 miles. Trail or road.
- I walk an average of 6.3 miles a day
- I follow a paleo diet and cook 90% of my meals from scratch
- I read everyday (usually 3x books: one spiritual, one business, one science)
- I track all of my time in 15 minute increments
Before Still Life
I graduated from Rugby School in England in 2013
- The sport is named after the school. The school is named after the town! Had an awesome experience here, met some of the best people in my life.
I graduated from UCLA majoring in Psychobiology in 2017
- I graduated pre-med but decided to switch paths and pursue a Ph. D in Neuroscience as it dawned on me that the deep experiences I was having with Stillness / meditation helped me to identify destructive patterns of behaviour that lead to illness in the first place.
I conducted research analysis at the Healthy Mind Lab, Washington University School of Medicine 2018
- I then decided not to pursue a Ph D. in neuroscience at USC’s Dornsife because I found that people didn’t really change their minds from reading white papers - they did from direct experience. Teaming up with my co-founders Spencer and Jim was a dream cause we could help people feel Stillness instead of just read about it. And that was the genesis of Still Life.
