In this episode I’m joined by Mike Prince. How do I describe Mike Prince. Well…he’s my neighbor, he introduced me to cold plunging, he’s the local owner of Hydrofly Kelowna, he’s a former elite Hydroflight athlete, he has a sales background, he’s a husband and father of 2 young boys (similar age to my kids) and he was diagnosed with Lyme Disease within the last year.
Mike joined me in my home podcast studio for my first “in-person” interview to tell his story (the entire “messy journey) and how he’s reinventing himself through mindfulness, breathwork, meditation and presence. We spoke about what it takes to shed the “stories” we attach to that are holding us back from living our best lives. As well as, what the future of sales, parenting and connection looks like when you focus on the day and change your story.

Episode Quotes
“I know that if I’m authentic in speaking my truth on my podcast, my kids are going to see that as a blueprint of my life and how I’ve shaped my beliefs” - Trevor Turnbull
“If you think about the amount of content you put out and consume on a daily basis…to sit in the silence is a challenge but also a blessing when you learn to harness it.” - Mike Prince
