In this episode…
Leaders often have the ability to push through adversity and accomplish what they envision. However, it’s not always healthy to put your body’s feedback on the backburner. There are plenty of examples of healthy bodily responses that shouldn’t be ignored because they’re indicating something important. To be the best leader you can be, you need to treat your mind as well as your body.
Mike Dannheim saw the need for a quick and simple solution to raising awareness for your body and mind. His technology uses the sensors found in smartphones to identify tension and give practical solutions to deal with a myriad of problems. It’s a helpful tool, but it plays into Mike’s greater mission towards overall health among leaders.

They go through the common problems with the conscious and subconscious parts of our minds and how to better listen to our own body’s feedback. They then talk about key principles in leaders such as admitting vulnerability, taking care of your physical health, and dealing with emotions.
