Non-Negotiable Daily Practices for Entrepreneurs with Christopher August

In this episode, I sat down with my good friend, Christopher August, to dive deep into the concept of constriction before expansion and why doing the inner work is so critical for entrepreneurs. We talk about the power of breathwork—seriously, the deeper you breathe, the more you can receive—and how shifting your perspective can help you break free from what feels like a prison and tap into your true power. Chris shares his non-negotiable daily practices like breathwork, movement, and connecting with nature, all of which keep him grounded and aligned. Plus, we talk about his upcoming book, Master Your Breath, Transform Your Life, where he covers everything from healing trauma to expanding consciousness and manifesting your dreams. This conversation is packed with practical tools to help you raise your energy and master your inner game. We even wrap things up with a guided breathwork meditation led by Chris—it’s something you won’t want to miss.  So tune in now and press play to:Deepen your breath to unlock greater potential and receive more in lifeShift your perspective to open new pathways to successLive a breath-centered life to gain clarity, boost creativity, and enhance overall well-beingIntegrate regular breathwork into your daily routine for greater self-awareness and emotional balance And if you’re feeling called to dive deeper, follow Chris on Instagram, check out his website, and don’t forget to explore his brand's site and Instagram.
