Kamal Sarma is the monk who didn’t sell his Ferrari, that’s because he never had one! Born in the East Indian state of Assam, Kamal came to Australia when he was four. He turned into a “rugby hungry, girl hungry, fiend”. Not happy with this iteration, Kamal’s parents sent him back to India when he was 13 to live in an ashram and study to be a monk, for seven-long-years.Back in Australian at 19, Kamal studied an honours degree in Economics then joined McKinsey & Co. Following that he worked as Head of Strategy at St George Bank, then he held roles at AMP Capital Investors and Eli Lilly, before launching his own VC.Life for Kamal was going great, until he had his ‘empty heart experience’ – the death of his first daughter. Kamal struggled with depression, couldn't get out of bed, and by his own admission he could easily have become an alcoholic.

Modern humans are the most overweight, depressed, medicated and addicted cohort of adults that has ever lived. Our genome has not changed in over 45,000 years, but the world has changed enormously and there are multiple mismatches with modern life.

The punch knocked him unconscious and it took him weeks to leave the house and numerous trips to the dentist. He struggled mentally and was diagnosed with PTS and anxiety.

Rather than taking this lying down, Deano became obsessed with getting his health back and one of the keys to unlocking this was breath work. And I am very grateful he did as Deano is THE GUY I call on when I want to introduce breathwork and cold water therapy to organisations like CBA and the Australian Navy; and professional sporting teams including the Parramatta Eels and the Manly Sea Eagles. 3:15 Deano’s background and story18:15 Deano on Bondi Rescue and outlining what is breathwork?22:10 Differences between nose and mouth breathing28:00 Box Breathing36:15 Using the Wim Hoff method to Up Regulate42:30 Climbing a mountain in speedos with Wim Hoff and attraction to cold water therapy57:00 Combining breathwork with cold water therapy1:07:25 Group flow You can find Deano at his website: https://www.deanogladstone.com/                                          or instagram: https://shorturl.at/rtuIU Use Code "PQPODCAST10" to get 10% off your Lumo Coffee order:https://lumocoffee.com/ Interested in sharing your story?
