Breathwork, AI, and Stress: Practical Tools to Regain Clarity and Capacity with Roy Castleman

Breathwork, AI, and Stress: Practical Tools to Regain Clarity and Capacity with Roy Castleman

Entrepreneurs don’t lack ambition; they lack capacity under pressure. In this direct conversation on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, Roy Castleman—Wim Hof Method instructor, skydiver, and founder of the Elevated 360 approach—breaks down how breathwork, meditation, and targeted use of AI can free time, restore mental bandwidth, and sharpen decision-making. From surviving a drunk-driver collision in South Africa to nearly losing everything during COVID, Roy explains how he rebuilt by learning to breathe, regulate stress, and think with clarity. We cover parasympathetic vs. sympathetic states, good vs. bad stress, and how short, daily practices (10–15 minutes) create compounding advantage for founders.

About the guest :

Roy Castleman is a certified Wim Hof Method and pranayama instructor, freediver, and long-time entrepreneur who has built multiple seven-figure companies. He now coaches founders to reclaim energy and focus using breathwork, nervous-system training, and AI-powered operating systems.

Key takeaways:

  • Capacity beats hustle: Your brain’s bandwidth drops when energy is split between yesterday’s regrets and tomorrow’s worries; calm focus raises the quality of every business decision.

  • Breath first, then scale: A 10–15 minute daily breathwork practice can clear emotional noise, improve focus, and prepare you to implement systems and strategy.

  • Good vs. bad stress: Brief, chosen stressors (e.g., an ice bath) can train regulation; chronic, ruminative stress erodes creativity, relationships, and revenue.

  • Creativity needs calm: You create solutions in a parasympathetic (rest-and-digest) state, not while stuck in sympathetic (fight-or-flight).

  • AI as leverage, not crutch: Use AI to (1) shortcut routine tasks, (2) act as a thought partner to structure ideas, and (3) expand possible solutions—while you retain human judgment.

  • Founder standards: Roy only works with leaders willing to build a wellness routine; clarity and time come first, scaling second.

  • From rock bottom to practice: Breathwork gave Roy just enough power to step back from a failing venture, accept worst-case outcomes, and rebuild.

  • Personalize the routine: Ice, sauna, PT, meditation—pick what fits your life; the goal is consistent regulation, not a checklist.
