Relax Hacks

Relax hacks are simple, wonderfully clever ways to make life smoother. It's like the difference between riding on a road littered with bumps and potholes, and one that's well-paved and obstacle free. Guest Robin Copple and host Jordan Friedman share a variety of relax hacks, some of which may change your life and productivity. After the interview, we'll take a listen to one of them.

About Host Jordan Friedman

Jordan is known as The Stress Coach, a career path that likely started when one of the world's largest brain tumors was discovered in his head at age 10. The resulting, nonstop stress continued through college until he reluctantly enrolled in a stress management class that led to much less stress, a degree in public health, a job as Columbia University's health education director and now a career as a global stress management speaker, trainer and author. For 25 years, Jordan's been privileged to help and learn from 9/11 survivors, teachers, CEOs, police officers, incarcerated adults, students and lots of other stressed people who want to be more successful, get better grades, sleep easier and be healthier.

In 2004, Jordan founded The Stress Coach to provide innovative workshops, multimedia webinars, chill apps, online courses and more stress-relief opportunities. The Chill Factory podcast is Jordan's latest effort to bring stress relief and better health to the world.
