Have you ever noticed how quiet moments, those with no noise or rush, feel different? Today, we’re discussing how these pockets of stillness can transform your life and even ripple out to impact the world around you.
I discussed this issue with Tom Cronin, a meditation expert who has helped thousands of people find more peace in everyday life. You’ll have the opportunity to hear his solutions for achieving true calm. Stick with us—you might see the simple moments in a brand new way.
Tom Cronin worked in finance for 26 years as a top bond and swap broker. Early on, stress pushed him to try meditation, which changed his life. Tom started The Stillness Project to help people find calm through daily stillness. Founder of The Stillness Project, a global movement to inspire one billion people to sit in stillness daily, Tom is passionate about reducing stress and chaos in people’s lives. His ongoing work in transformational leadership coaching and corporate training has seen him working with some of the top companies in the world like Amazon, Oracle, Harvard Business School, Qantas, UBS and Coca-Cola. He’s spoken at major events, written six books, and produced the hit film The Portal.
In this interview, Tom breaks down the mind-body connection, shows us how stillness can make a significant difference, and shares what he has learned from working with people around the world. We discuss practical ways to slow down, explore how quiet moments shape who we are, and explore how they can even contribute to creating a better world.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
