Most entrepreneurs I know are running on fumes and calling it hustle. 😤
I'll be honest, I didn't expect a conversation about breathwork to be one of the most practically useful episodes we've recorded. But here we are.
I sat down with Spencer DeLisle, former cancer researcher, President of the of Living Foundation Canada, and executive coach to Google, Deloitte, and the Federal Government and what he shared about stress and business performance genuinely stopped me in my tracks.
Here's the part I can't stop thinking about:
Every time your focus gets interrupted, it costs you ~20 minutes to fully recover. If you're bouncing between 15 tasks a day, you're not being productive, you're just busy. There's a big difference.
Spencer shared a simple 5-minute breathing technique, backed by 150+ peer-reviewed studies from Yale, Harvard, and U of T, that literally clears cortisol from your brain. Elite athletes use it. Now entrepreneurs can too.
Your business is only as strong as the mind running it. 🧠

Here's something most business owners don't find out until it's too late:
Being ready to sell ≠ having a buyer.
True exit readiness means knowing:
→ Whether YOU are emotionally and personally ready to move on
→ Whether your finances will actually support your next chapter
→ Whether your business is built to attract buyers and command real value
Those are three very different questions and most owners only think about the last one.
For a limited time (until July 31st), we're offering FREE access to three assessments that answer all three:
📊 Personal Readiness (PRE Score) — a 27-page report on your lifestyle goals and business dependency

💰 Freedom Score — calculates your personal "freedom number" with a 19-page financial roadmap

🏢 Sellability Score — identifies gaps and gives you a value-building roadmap

These tools were developed by Gord McFarlane FCA, FCPA, CBV of McFarlane Transition Advisors at Achen Henderson, with 30+ years of exit advisory experience behind them.
No pressure. No catch. Just clarity.
