Hello and thank you for checking out our very first episode! 

In “Infinite Beginnings”, we discuss the importance of how we spend our first moments upon awakening, as well as the many things that can potentially better or worsen the feelings that accompany those moments. We cover multiple angles ranging from exercise and discipline, to phone usage and the effects of cortisol. 

Taiko drumming artist and global peace warrior, Ken Koshio, joins in on the discussion to provide us with some insight towards his morning routine, and how it impacts the entirety of his life. Thanks again for stopping by, and we hope you enjoy our new beginning with Expansive Minds.
