Introduction

Andy Pudacum is the co-founder and voice of the Headspace App. In his early 20s, midway through a university degree in sports science, Andy made the unexpected decision to travel to the Himalayas to study meditation instead. It was the beginning of a 10-year journey which took him around the world,. culminating with ordination as a Tibetan Buddhist monk in northern India. His transition back to normal life in 2004 saw him training briefly at Moscow State Circus before returning to London to complete a degree in circus arts while drawing up the early plans for what was later to become Headspace.
