In this episode, I'm joined by JJ Ruescas, an expert in human optimization. Our paths crossed at Casa De Luz in Austin during one of his impactful breathwork sessions, leaving me intrigued by his professionalism and dedication.

During our discussion, JJ and I cover various topics, including:

  • Insights into his upbringing
  • His journey into the realms of human optimization and professional coaching
  • Application of "Kaizen," a Japanese business philosophy, in his coaching and personal development approach
  • Embracing 10 minutes of daily learning as a powerful method
  • Exploring the nuances of burnout, rest, and recovery
  • The significance of identifying and articulating personal values
  • Illuminating the shadow aspects within ourselves that can cause harm
  • JJ's advice for those seeking meaning and purpose in times of confusion
