Mindfulness is NOT just for yogis, or so says my guest and close friend Jay Abbasi. Jay is the perfect ambassador for mindfulness because he doesn’t pretend to be anything he’s not. A native East Coaster and as authentic as they come, Jay transitioned away from corporate life to serve his mission to help individuals and businesses adopt a mindful practice that will lead to less stress, more focus, more resiliency, and happier lives. Jay’s got a knack for breaking down complex ideas in a way that makes them easy to understand. We cover a lot of ground in the episode and here are some highlights:
