In today’s episode, I'm thrilled to share an enlightening conversation with a truly inspiring person and a wonderful teacher, Stuart Sandeman. Many of you might know Stuart as the mastermind behind "Breathpod," where he transforms lives through the power of breathing. But there’s so much more to his story that isn’t widely known.

He is here to help us move closer to our mission of getting 1 million people out of stress and you can help too. "Unstressable: A Practical Guide to Stress-Free Living" is almost here, so please pre-order it before the end of April.

Today, we start off by exploring Stuart’s unexpected journey from a successful career in music and entertainment to becoming a breathwork specialist. Stuart opens up about how the loss of a loved one deeply influenced his mission to help others find healing and resilience through breathwork.

Listen as we discuss:

• Being too busy to breathe
• Stuart's personal story
• Hallucinating with just our breathing
• Breathing and its effects
• How "simple" breathing is
• Why we are not breathing correctly
• The 5 archetypes of breathers
• Eating healthy
• Breathing and Stress
• Breathing and Sleep
• Practical steps to improve our breathing

So, grab your headphones and join us for this deep dive on breathing. Whether you’re already a breathwork enthusiast or just curious, there’s something in this episode for everyone.

In today’s episode of Slo Mo, I sit down with the inimitable Bassem Youssef, a man whose wit and wisdom have challenged and changed the contours of political satire in the Middle East. In a departure from our usual tone, this conversation takes a more contemplative and, indeed, somewhat pessimistic turn as we delve into the complexities of modern life and the daunting challenges that lie ahead.

As we continue our Unstressable series, Bassem's courage to speak about the world's most challenging topics should remind us never to be afraid to take, even the biggest problems, head on.

00:00 Intro
05:00 The oversized role of ego
07:36 Fame is not real
11:49 Bassem's veganism
12:42 The last time Mo and Bassem met
14:53 Is most of humanity disappointing?
18:00 Bassem's influence in the Israel-Palestine conflict
21:10 Are we in an era of hyperinformation?
23:45 Cancel culture
24:37 Will humanity ever change?
32:57 Can we be hopeful?
37:56 Are we heading into more conflict?
40:23 The end of the truth
48:50 How will AI affect us?
1:00:35 How does Bassem keep going?

This episode is a compelling journey through the darker sides of our modern realities, offering no easy answers but many important questions. Bassem's voice is an important warning to those who might choose to ignore the world. His reflections invite us to think deeply about our own beliefs, biases, and the kind of future we are creating, so take the time to Slow Down with us and look for answers to some truly tough questions.

For more thought-provoking exploration and a lot of laughter you can catch Bassem Youssef on his European "Middle Beast" tour in: Oslo, Berlin, Zurich, Munich, Hamburg, Antwerp, Stockholm, London, Copenhagen, Birmingham, Dublin, Manchester, and Paris: https://www.bassemyoussef.xyz/upcoming-shows/

We're well into our Unstressable series on Slo Mo where today I have the profound pleasure of sitting down with Jodi Wellman, a luminary in the realm of living fully. You can help our mission by preordering "Unstressable: A Practical Guide to Stress-Free Living" written by me, Mo Gawdat, and Alice Law.

In today's conversation with Jodi, we ventured into the heart of what it means to truly embrace every moment of our existence, guided by Jodi's remarkable journey and the wisdom she's garnered along the way.

Jodi, with her vibrant approach to life, challenges us to confront the finiteness of our time with grace and intentionality. Her work, centered around maximizing the richness of our days, resonates deeply with my own quest for happiness and meaning. We explored the delicate balance between acknowledging our mortality and using that awareness as a catalyst to live more fully, a theme that has touched my life personally and profoundly.

Listen as we discuss:

• Unstressable
• Doing the Math of Living
• Tuning In
• Scheduling vs. Savoring
• Living without Regrets
• Afterlife
• What Brings us Joy
• What should we Care About
• The Joy List
• Society at Large

Jodi's message is a call to action, urging us to not only chase our dreams but to savor the journey along the way. Learn more about it here: https://fourthousandmondays.com/

I left our conversation more inspired than ever to embrace the beauty of the unknown, to appreciate the finite nature of our existence, and to live every day to its fullest. I invite you to continue the conversation with Jodi on her Instagram, or LinkedIn.
