#53 - Finding Balance After Burnout with Rich Adrian-Smith 10/03/2023

#53 - Finding Balance After Burnout with Rich Adrian-Smith Rich Adrian-Smith is the co-founder of GoggleSoc, an 8 figure business in the ski industry. He is a father, a nervous system practitioner & coach who helps people find their life purpose. On paper, Rich had all the boxes ticked - after quitting the corporate finance world and co-founding a booming startup which allowed him to travel & go skiing around the world. But under the hood, there were bigger issues at play. As COO of his company, he had a very stressful position, fulfilling orders & making sure the expanding operations of the company kept up with global demand. Over time, his suppressed emotions, overwhelm from the workload, very high expectations of himself and years of burning the candle at both ends pushed him to the limit and into the depths of a burnout. This is when Rich stumbled upon Breathwork and his life was forever changed. After his very first session, he was finally able to feel again what it was like to be relaxed and peaceful. An inner flame was lit which sparked a journey to follow his calling. Rich met Pete in Bali during his practitioner training at Breathwork Bali - where he became a coaching client of Pete’s and crafted an action plan for bringing this work to the world. Rich is now living in British Columbia, Canada with his wife and 2-year-old son. There, he helps high achievers live a life of purpose, passion and fulfilment through purpose coaching and facilitated breath repatterning. In this podcast we explore: The story of Rich co-founding a multi-million dollar company The inner wounds & patterns of behaviour that led him to burnout How his son Benji has taught him a new way of living Why embodiment is often the missing piece on the “healing journey” How FBR Breathwork opened a whole new world for Rich. His experience & big takeaways from working with Pete.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.” Rosanna Billé is a woman who defies all the odds. She is an ultra marathon athlete & a mother of two - a woman with a powerful mindset and philosophy for life Rosanna has lived a series of fascinating life chapters all over the world: From advocating for children & women’s rights in Pakistan - to being a lifecoach on a remote island in Sweden (accessible only by rowing boat) - to her & her young family embarking on a remarkable journey of sailing around the world for 5 years. Rosanna has since emerged out of motherhood as an inspiring and unstoppable ultra marathon athlete, despite being told by a surgeon in her early twenties that she would never run long distance again. She has defied the odds to achieve extraordinary feats in triathlon, ultra swimming, cycling and running. Rosanna’s unwavering dedication earned her qualification for the Ironman World Championships, and she combines her love for ultra marathon with a passion for paying it forward by dedicating each ultra challenge to a worthy cause. Rosanna’s latest event, a self sufficient multi-day Ultra running race in Kenya, covered over 230 km at elevation and altitude. Despite sustaining a significant knee injury and losing her toe nails, Rosanna went on to be the first female to complete this race, doing so to raise funds for rhino conservation.
