When discussing the concept of process, it can be challenging to determine where it begins and where it ends. This question is something I constantly ponder, as it provides me perspective within my process of finding value. I believe that one fundamental aspect of any process is the act of breathing. The simple act of inhaling and exhaling sets the foundation for various forms of awareness and allows us to tap into ancient practices such as meditation. Meditation, which starts with the breath, serves as our starting point.

Our guest, Manoj Dias, is a breath practitioner, teacher, author, father, founder of an innovative tech company, and husband. He reminds us of the power of reconnecting with ourselves and demonstrates how meditation and conscious breathing can transform lives and cultivate mindfulness. Manoj has worked with major brands while also building his own called Open. He is one of the leading teachers in the present moment, guiding us towards a future of mindfulness and breath. During our conversation, Manoj shares his personal journey of discovering meditation and acknowledges that even that even the teacher sometimes needs to be reminded of the practice. Tools of integration and implementation are key.

So Relax and take notes. I know you’ll enjoy.

Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
