“It’s better for you not to go on any shows than to go on a bunch of shows half-cocked and unprepared, ruining your chances of being seen as the expert, the go-to thought leader and attracting those beautiful leads, sales and clients that you’re looking for.”

“The most disruptive thing I’ve ever learned in terms of helping people is teaching them how to breathe.”

Most people think success in business comes from hustling harder or hacking strategy. But often the biggest breakthroughs come from improving our health. This episode explores the powerful role that conscious breathwork plays in regulating the nervous system, boosting energy, increasing focus, and accelerating recovery—all critical to the entrepreneurial lifestyle. When you master your breath, you master your biology. And if you’re in business, your biology is your business.

Sachin Patel brings the science, strategy, and soul of breathwork into focus. From treating chronic illness to transforming anxious entrepreneurs, he outlines how different breathing patterns impact cognitive performance, emotional regulation, and even sales conversations. His stories—of his own son, his wife, and his clients—illustrate how mouth breathing, poor posture, and unaddressed stress compromise everything from immunity to clarity. The solution? A few daily breathwork habits and a deeper connection to your body’s natural rhythm.

Sachin is a renowned functional medicine practitioner, breathwork facilitator, speaker, and founder of The Living Proof Institute. Originally trained as a chiropractor, Sachin shifted focus to functional medicine and breathwork after recognizing how many people struggle with root-cause health issues. Today, he teaches entrepreneurs and health professionals how to use breath as a tool for healing, leadership, and performance.

Expert action steps:

1. Tape your mouth while sleeping – Using simple medical tape at night can dramatically improve your sleep quality, enhance dream vividness, and help you wake up feeling more refreshed by encouraging proper nasal breathing.

2. Become your own best healer – Take charge of your health by embracing the idea that your body is designed to heal itself. With the right knowledge and tools, you can activate your body’s natural healing capacity without depending solely on external treatments.

3. Respect nature’s rules – You can’t out-hack or out-hustle nature. Things like your body’s natural rhythm, nervous system regulation, and proper rest are non-negotiables for health. Just like a plant needs sunlight, your body needs the right conditions to thrive.

“If you’re in business and you’re not leveraging podcasting, you’re leaving massive opportunity on the table.”

Most people are blind to the power of podcast guesting. It’s not just a marketing tactic—it’s the new media front door to trust, authority, and reach. The smart players? They’re skipping the gatekeepers and speaking directly to the people. If you’re building a business, a brand, or a movement, podcasting gives you time, attention, and influence you can’t buy with ads anymore.

There’s a rhythm to this game. Get yourself on enough shows and the results compound—leads, clients, relationships, and credibility. This isn’t theoretical; it’s what works. Whether you’re a coach, a consultant, or leading a national campaign, the people you want to serve are listening somewhere. The question is—are you showing up there?

The current vehicles are stalling. Podcast guesting is the engine. It’s not optional if you want to win—it’s essential. Skip it, and you’re leaving impact, income, and influence on the table.
