Michael Acton Smith: Reduce Stress in 7 Minutes a Day & The Surprising Way the Founder of the Biggest Meditation Company Meditates and How We Can Easily Apply This Tip

Do you want to reduce your stress in just 7 minutes a day?

Do you want to learn how to make meditation easy and accessible for you?

Today, I welcome my good friend Michael Acton Smith. Michael is the co-founder and co-Executive Chairman of Calm, the leading mental wellness brand with the #1 App for Sleep, Meditation and Relaxation. Calm has grown to over 100 million downloads, was the Apple 2017 app of the year, and is the world's first mental health unicorn. Long fascinated by neuroscience, flow states and mental fitness, Michael is passionate about spreading meditation as a simple but valuable skill around the world.

Michael discusses the interesting twist of putting an entertainment voice in meditation, challenging myths, and misconceptions surrounding this powerful practice. We tap into the future of mental health, exploring why sometimes we need to step back to find the answers. Patience has always been the secret to success.

As the conversation progressed, we stirred into the potential of AI and its role in the next evolution of Calm and potentially address the question: How can technology be harnessed to serve humanity better? There is a future in AI and how it immensely helps spread mental health awareness and promote mindfulness practice.

In this interview, you will learn:

The many benefits of meditation

How to practice mindfulness

How to sit in silence and calm your mind

How to leverage your creativity

The connection between AI and mental health

It's an episode packed with insights, laughter, and a sprinkle of mindfulness. Together, let's explore the boundless possibilities of a calm and balanced life together!

With Love and Gratitude,

Jay Shetty
