Description

Ian Lopatin is the founder of a lifestyle clothing company called Spiritual Gangster. When he was a kid, he watched mom host neighbourhood yoga gatherings and as an adult he worked as an entertainment lawyer in L.A. He had a life changing encounter with Bikram Chowdhry and after that he opened One Yoga studios in Phoenix and Scottsdale Arizona. He ended up teaching yoga around the country and was known for linking yoga with hip hop music, which completely changed the way that yoga was being taught. He then moved on to found Spiritual Gangster and has become wildly successful. Ian and I discuss his business success as well as his lifestyle practices, as he's an elite performer in business while he travels all over the world. I’m really fascinated about his integration of mindfulness, a physical practice, a very difficult work life, and travel. I hope that you enjoy this conversation with my friend Ian Lopatin.
