Next Episode: Embracing Authenticity and Compassionate Leadership: A Heart-to-Heart with Matt Ohley

Want to hear my open and raw conversation with Matt Oley, discussing our paths in the construction industry, navigating mental wellness, and the importance of mindfulness and meditation. We share our experiences and struggles with addiction, and how our paths have led them to a life of fulfillment. The conversation turns practical as we provide insights about how to embark on meditation for the first time, focusing on breath control. We also look into the impact of these changes on personal and social life. Matt highlights the importance of self-discovery in solitude, leading to transformative insights about oneself. This dialogue seeks to foster deeper understanding around mental wellness, mindfulness, and personal transformation within the construction industry and beyond.
