05:00of of a very interesting story because of of a very interesting story because there's three different ownership groups there's three different ownership groups there's three different ownership groups and three different stories so I started and three different stories so I started and three different stories so I started this off uh about three years ago I this off uh about three years ago I this off uh about three years ago I before this was in the hospitality space before this was in the hospitality space before this was in the hospitality space I built a number of restaurants and bars I built a number of restaurants and bars I built a number of restaurants and bars here in Toronto and my my best friend at here in Toronto and my my best friend at here in Toronto and my my best friend at the time Robert bent actually at the the time Robert bent actually at the the time Robert bent actually at the time he he got sober and he wasn't he time he he got sober and he wasn't he time he he got sober and he wasn't he didn't want to go to these restaurants didn't want to go to these restaurants didn't want to go to these restaurants and bars anymore to drink and so he was and bars anymore to drink and so he was and bars anymore to drink and so he was always inviting me to do these bath always inviting me to do these bath always inviting me to do these bath houses specifically one called houses specifically one called houses specifically one called Southwestern and go to these bath houses Southwestern and go to these bath houses Southwestern and go to these bath houses and have like just an incredible time and have like just an incredible time and have like just an incredible time you'd feel amazing you'd feel really you'd feel amazing you'd feel really you'd feel amazing you'd feel really like satisfied that you went out you met like satisfied that you went out you met like satisfied that you went out you met out with friends and you come home just out with friends and you come home just out with friends and you come home just absolutely like relaxed calm and just absolutely like relaxed calm and just absolutely like relaxed calm and just kind of you know no desire to go out and kind of you know no desire to go out and kind of you know no desire to go out and so I coming from the hospitality so I coming from the hospitality so I coming from the hospitality background I was like can we create a background I was like can we create a background I was like can we create a new social experience around this hot new social experience around this hot new social experience around this hot and cold and kind of bring it to the and cold and kind of bring it to the and cold and kind of bring it to the masses because a lot of the stuff isn't masses because a lot of the stuff isn't masses because a lot of the stuff isn't really known people are kind of scared really known people are kind of scared really known people are kind of scared of the cold they really don't understand of the cold they really don't understand of the cold they really don't understand the heat um they don't understand why
06:00the heat um they don't understand why the heat um they don't understand why they're going into these things for how they're going into these things for how they're going into these things for how long right but they really do like the long right but they really do like the long right but they really do like the feeling and so at the time we we teamed feeling and so at the time we we teamed feeling and so at the time we we teamed up and we were looking at building a up and we were looking at building a up and we were looking at building a 15,000 square foot Urban bath house uh 15,000 square foot Urban bath house uh 15,000 square foot Urban bath house uh in the junction here in Toronto it was in the junction here in Toronto it was in the junction here in Toronto it was Rob and I at the beginning and we were Rob and I at the beginning and we were Rob and I at the beginning and we were introduced to Amanda and Harry at the introduced to Amanda and Harry at the introduced to Amanda and Harry at the time who through Rob's ant was actually time who through Rob's ant was actually time who through Rob's ant was actually hired to help them find their bath house hired to help them find their bath house hired to help them find their bath house and they were sauna masters from Europe and they were sauna masters from Europe and they were sauna masters from Europe they were trained in the sauna and in they were trained in the sauna and in they were trained in the sauna and in performances and so their background performances and so their background performances and so their background really is developing you know these really is developing you know these really is developing you know these amazing experiences in the sauna and amazing experiences in the sauna and amazing experiences in the sauna and kind of creating this magic and taking kind of creating this magic and taking kind of creating this magic and taking people through these these challenging people through these these challenging people through these these challenging times and so when you're going into the times and so when you're going into the times and so when you're going into the Heat and you're going into the cold it's Heat and you're going into the cold it's Heat and you're going into the cold it's challenging and you really want to be challenging and you really want to be challenging and you really want to be guided through these things especially guided through these things especially guided through these things especially the first time and so having these um the first time and so having these um the first time and so having these um you know these performances and these you know these performances and these you know these performances and these classes is is super essential so we you classes is is super essential so we you classes is is super essential so we you know I met Rob and we met Harry and know I met Rob and we met Harry and know I met Rob and we met Harry and amand we all uh decided that it was
07:00amand we all uh decided that it was amand we all uh decided that it was synergistic to to kind of team up and so synergistic to to kind of team up and so synergistic to to kind of team up and so we started building this bath house we started building this bath house we started building this bath house about three years ago right before covid about three years ago right before covid about three years ago right before covid started we were almost about to sign a started we were almost about to sign a started we were almost about to sign a lease and in March 2020 Co came and so lease and in March 2020 Co came and so lease and in March 2020 Co came and so it kind of you know it killed the idea it kind of you know it killed the idea it kind of you know it killed the idea we you know the investors walked away we you know the investors walked away we you know the investors walked away people didn't know what to expect and so people didn't know what to expect and so people didn't know what to expect and so at the time we we thought the idea was at the time we we thought the idea was at the time we we thought the idea was over and we built a small test center in over and we built a small test center in over and we built a small test center in my partner's garage uh we had one sauna my partner's garage uh we had one sauna my partner's garage uh we had one sauna one ice bth and we were just running one ice bth and we were just running one ice bth and we were just running testing to try to build the base testing to try to build the base testing to try to build the base Community for the junction and during Co Community for the junction and during Co Community for the junction and during Co we we thought to ourselves hey could we we we thought to ourselves hey could we we we thought to ourselves hey could we do something on a smaller scale maybe do something on a smaller scale maybe do something on a smaller scale maybe build more of these Studio spaces 3,000 build more of these Studio spaces 3,000 build more of these Studio spaces 3,000 square feet self-fund it and that's kind square feet self-fund it and that's kind square feet self-fund it and that's kind of how the idea was born for other ship of how the idea was born for other ship of how the idea was born for other ship for what the concept is now and so we for what the concept is now and so we for what the concept is now and so we shifted away from this massive Bath shifted away from this massive Bath shifted away from this massive Bath House idea to these more uh unique House idea to these more uh unique House idea to these more uh unique Studio spaces 3,000 square feet we could Studio spaces 3,000 square feet we could Studio spaces 3,000 square feet we could fit a 50 person sauna we could do four fit a 50 person sauna we could do four fit a 50 person sauna we could do four ice bath a nice beautiful t- room and we

10:00space that's what happens is they they space that's what happens is they they love it they have this incredible love it they have this incredible love it they have this incredible experience they've met incredible people experience they've met incredible people experience they've met incredible people and they just want to share that and they just want to share that and they just want to share that experience so whether it's sharing with experience so whether it's sharing with experience so whether it's sharing with social or inviting five of their friends social or inviting five of their friends social or inviting five of their friends and so you really are seeing these and so you really are seeing these and so you really are seeing these Grassroots Community uh expand and and Grassroots Community uh expand and and Grassroots Community uh expand and and then it just keeps going and going and then it just keeps going and going and then it just keeps going and going and people just seem to love it and they people just seem to love it and they people just seem to love it and they love you know the experience and it's love you know the experience and it's love you know the experience and it's just incredible both you know mentally just incredible both you know mentally just incredible both you know mentally physically and and socially yeah I think physically and and socially yeah I think physically and and socially yeah I think it's really cool that we can turn from it's really cool that we can turn from it's really cool that we can turn from what we've typically seen what we've typically seen what we've typically seen more of like socialization with like the more of like socialization with like the more of like socialization with like the bars and the restaurants is now becoming bars and the restaurants is now becoming bars and the restaurants is now becoming more of like a community without all of more of like a community without all of more of like a community without all of the other substances and it's more like the other substances and it's more like the other substances and it's more like leaning on that community in other ways leaning on that community in other ways leaning on that community in other ways and I think that's really really amazing and I think that's really really amazing and I think that's really really amazing that you guys have created that what do that you guys have created that what do that you guys have created that what do you think is the best part about having you think is the best part about having you think is the best part about having that Community within other ship I think that Community within other ship I think that Community within other ship I think the best part about the community is is the best part about the community is is the best part about the community is is this the genuine you know I keep saying this the genuine you know I keep saying this the genuine you know I keep saying this but is the genuine connection with this but is the genuine connection with this but is the genuine connection with people you really you know when you go
11:00people you really you know when you go people you really you know when you go to a bar or a restaurant you're you're to a bar or a restaurant you're you're to a bar or a restaurant you're you're connecting with people for sure but connecting with people for sure but connecting with people for sure but you're drinking alcohol you're on your you're drinking alcohol you're on your you're drinking alcohol you're on your phones and and it's really like phones and and it's really like phones and and it's really like especially a nightclub you can't really especially a nightclub you can't really especially a nightclub you can't really even speak to someone uh so it's kind of even speak to someone uh so it's kind of even speak to someone uh so it's kind of like coming into the space and you're like coming into the space and you're like coming into the space and you're having this intimate time with someone having this intimate time with someone having this intimate time with someone and I think you know one night at other and I think you know one night at other and I think you know one night at other ship is like meeting someone at a ship is like meeting someone at a ship is like meeting someone at a restaurant for maybe like you know 15 restaurant for maybe like you know 15 restaurant for maybe like you know 15 times so it's like you really are super times so it's like you really are super times so it's like you really are super present you're in the now your mind your present you're in the now your mind your present you're in the now your mind your body are so relaxed so you're just to body are so relaxed so you're just to body are so relaxed so you're just to genuinely who you are and your guards genuinely who you are and your guards genuinely who you are and your guards are dropped and so you're genuinely are dropped and so you're genuinely are dropped and so you're genuinely interested in what these other people interested in what these other people interested in what these other people are talking about or if you're on are talking about or if you're on are talking about or if you're on another Journey whatever it is so you're another Journey whatever it is so you're another Journey whatever it is so you're just really not distracted and so the just really not distracted and so the just really not distracted and so the people that are there they really are people that are there they really are people that are there they really are there presently in their minds and and there presently in their minds and and there presently in their minds and and obviously their bodies yeah that's obviously their bodies yeah that's obviously their bodies yeah that's that's amazing and and it is such a that's amazing and and it is such a that's amazing and and it is such a vulnerable space to be in especially vulnerable space to be in especially vulnerable space to be in especially working with your body like that in the working with your body like that in the working with your body like that in the cold therapy so on that note I would cold therapy so on that note I would cold therapy so on that note I would love to kind of turn into more of love to kind of turn into more of love to kind of turn into more of talking about the benefits of cold
12:00talking about the benefits of cold talking about the benefits of cold therapy and hot therapy and everything therapy and hot therapy and everything therapy and hot therapy and everything you want to talk about on that so we'll you want to talk about on that so we'll you want to talk about on that so we'll start off with the cold um a lot of start off with the cold um a lot of start off with the cold um a lot of people don't understand the cold they people don't understand the cold they people don't understand the cold they don't understand the why um so when you don't understand the why um so when you don't understand the why um so when you go into an ice past especially a three go into an ice past especially a three go into an ice past especially a three degrees you have a natural forming degrees you have a natural forming degrees you have a natural forming chemical in your body called neurop PR chemical in your body called neurop PR chemical in your body called neurop PR nephrine neurop PR nephrine is nephrine neurop PR nephrine is nephrine neurop PR nephrine is responsible for mood vigilance attention responsible for mood vigilance attention responsible for mood vigilance attention energy and so you have this shift state energy and so you have this shift state energy and so you have this shift state of like you just feel incredible you're of like you just feel incredible you're of like you just feel incredible you're energized now neurop nephrine has some energized now neurop nephrine has some energized now neurop nephrine has some very interesting side effects it's very interesting side effects it's very interesting side effects it's anti-inflammatory so inflammation is the anti-inflammatory so inflammation is the anti-inflammatory so inflammation is the cause of 70 80% of diseases out there cause of 70 80% of diseases out there cause of 70 80% of diseases out there this is why you see a lot of athletes this is why you see a lot of athletes this is why you see a lot of athletes using ice bass you know they're inflamed using ice bass you know they're inflamed using ice bass you know they're inflamed they're doing these really intense they're doing these really intense they're doing these really intense workouts and they really want to come workouts and they really want to come workouts and they really want to come into these ice bass calm that down into these ice bass calm that down into these ice bass calm that down boosts your immune system so um boosts your immune system so um boosts your immune system so um obviously increasing your white blood obviously increasing your white blood obviously increasing your white blood cell count and it releases cold shock cell count and it releases cold shock cell count and it releases cold shock proteins into your brain so you're proteins into your brain so you're proteins into your brain so you're having these incredible physical having these incredible physical having these incredible physical benefits and I actually don't know what benefits and I actually don't know what benefits and I actually don't know what you could have done uh for 2 minutes you could have done uh for 2 minutes you could have done uh for 2 minutes that has a better reaction physically
13:00that has a better reaction physically that has a better reaction physically but what's happening mentally you're but what's happening mentally you're but what's happening mentally you're going into 3° water and your body is going into 3° water and your body is going into 3° water and your body is essentially going into a fight or flight essentially going into a fight or flight essentially going into a fight or flight response right and you're having this response right and you're having this response right and you're having this intense emotional reaction you're saying intense emotional reaction you're saying intense emotional reaction you're saying to yourself hey I can't be here I need to yourself hey I can't be here I need to yourself hey I can't be here I need to get out and what we're asking you to to get out and what we're asking you to to get out and what we're asking you to do is really breathe into it and do is really breathe into it and do is really breathe into it and regulate your emotions and kind of regulate your emotions and kind of regulate your emotions and kind of create space between this a motion and a create space between this a motion and a create space between this a motion and a reaction so you're having this crazy reaction so you're having this crazy reaction so you're having this crazy emotion and can you breathe through it emotion and can you breathe through it emotion and can you breathe through it observe it and you actually can take observe it and you actually can take observe it and you actually can take this practice to other parts of your this practice to other parts of your this practice to other parts of your life so anger frustration jealousy a lot life so anger frustration jealousy a lot life so anger frustration jealousy a lot of these things come up every day and a of these things come up every day and a of these things come up every day and a lot of people just instantly react to lot of people just instantly react to lot of people just instantly react to them and so you're actually training them and so you're actually training them and so you're actually training your mind to become more resilient to your mind to become more resilient to your mind to become more resilient to emotions and to stressors around you emotions and to stressors around you emotions and to stressors around you breathe through it creates space and and breathe through it creates space and and breathe through it creates space and and over time all these things dissipate and over time all these things dissipate and over time all these things dissipate and so after 30 45 seconds the water so after 30 45 seconds the water so after 30 45 seconds the water actually in a way starts to feel warm it actually in a way starts to feel warm it actually in a way starts to feel warm it starts to like almost like a blanket starts to like almost like a blanket starts to like almost like a blanket over you and get into your Flow State over you and get into your Flow State over you and get into your Flow State and so you're into some meditative State and so you're into some meditative State and so you're into some meditative State we like people to stay in for around 2 we like people to stay in for around 2 we like people to stay in for around 2 minutes minutes is kind of the goal and
14:00minutes minutes is kind of the goal and minutes minutes is kind of the goal and yeah and you pop out of there you feel yeah and you pop out of there you feel yeah and you pop out of there you feel incredible this nephrine is running incredible this nephrine is running incredible this nephrine is running through your body you have this energy through your body you have this energy through your body you have this energy you're it just feels like you just shed you're it just feels like you just shed you're it just feels like you just shed all these uh like a layer of stress and all these uh like a layer of stress and all these uh like a layer of stress and your shoulders are dropped it's your shoulders are dropped it's your shoulders are dropped it's incredible and so that's essentially the incredible and so that's essentially the incredible and so that's essentially the cold and the heat has its own properties cold and the heat has its own properties cold and the heat has its own properties um you know it's toxifying it's it's um you know it's toxifying it's it's um you know it's toxifying it's it's really linked to longevity there's a really linked to longevity there's a really linked to longevity there's a study at a university of Finland they study at a university of Finland they study at a university of Finland they followed around 2500 participants for 20 followed around 2500 participants for 20 followed around 2500 participants for 20 years they found that people that use years they found that people that use years they found that people that use saunas 4 to 7 times a week have profound saunas 4 to 7 times a week have profound saunas 4 to 7 times a week have profound Health differences in people that don't Health differences in people that don't Health differences in people that don't use it so all cause mortality reduced by use it so all cause mortality reduced by use it so all cause mortality reduced by 40% cardiovascular diseases reduced by 40% cardiovascular diseases reduced by 40% cardiovascular diseases reduced by 50% Alzheimer's dementia reduced by 65% 50% Alzheimer's dementia reduced by 65% 50% Alzheimer's dementia reduced by 65% and so you're just having this one this and so you're just having this one this and so you're just having this one this it feels great at the beginning it's it feels great at the beginning it's it feels great at the beginning it's kind of has the opposite effect of the kind of has the opposite effect of the kind of has the opposite effect of the cold like it the cold is really cold like it the cold is really cold like it the cold is really uncomfortable at the beginning it uncomfortable at the beginning it uncomfortable at the beginning it actually kind of gets in a sense actually kind of gets in a sense actually kind of gets in a sense comfortable towards the end you really comfortable towards the end you really comfortable towards the end you really kind of like it and when the heat you kind of like it and when the heat you kind of like it and when the heat you feel great you come into a sauna oh I'm feel great you come into a sauna oh I'm feel great you come into a sauna oh I'm sweating but we also like you to push it sweating but we also like you to push it sweating but we also like you to push it a little bit that's where you want to be
15:00a little bit that's where you want to be a little bit that's where you want to be is to push into this uncomfortable State is to push into this uncomfortable State is to push into this uncomfortable State and that's where you really feel these and that's where you really feel these and that's where you really feel these benefits you have heat shot proteins benefits you have heat shot proteins benefits you have heat shot proteins that are released into your body again that are released into your body again that are released into your body again this neurop nephrine is released as well this neurop nephrine is released as well this neurop nephrine is released as well and so this Feelgood reactions are and so this Feelgood reactions are and so this Feelgood reactions are happening physically and then again happening physically and then again happening physically and then again mentally what what is happening is mentally what what is happening is mentally what what is happening is towards the end of the SAA it gets towards the end of the SAA it gets towards the end of the SAA it gets really stressing on your body you're you really stressing on your body you're you really stressing on your body you're you start getting angry you start having start getting angry you start having start getting angry you start having these emotions come up and again it's these emotions come up and again it's these emotions come up and again it's just about really breathing into that just about really breathing into that just about really breathing into that and regulating these emotions and again and regulating these emotions and again and regulating these emotions and again you know it's a form of hormesis so it's you know it's a form of hormesis so it's you know it's a form of hormesis so it's making you stronger physically mentally making you stronger physically mentally making you stronger physically mentally and you know at other ship you're doing and you know at other ship you're doing and you know at other ship you're doing it in a very social and fun way that's a it in a very social and fun way that's a it in a very social and fun way that's a really amazing and very interesting really amazing and very interesting really amazing and very interesting points that you've made I think that a points that you've made I think that a points that you've made I think that a lot of times people are looking for lot of times people are looking for lot of times people are looking for really quick benefits when it comes to really quick benefits when it comes to really quick benefits when it comes to their health and we often don't see that their health and we often don't see that their health and we often don't see that unless we are leaning more on the unless we are leaning more on the unless we are leaning more on the pharmaceutical side um when it comes to pharmaceutical side um when it comes to pharmaceutical side um when it comes to holistic and naturopathic medicine it's holistic and naturopathic medicine it's holistic and naturopathic medicine it's kind of a little bit of a longer run kind of a little bit of a longer run kind of a little bit of a longer run with seeing those benefits so it's with seeing those benefits so it's with seeing those benefits so it's incredible that cold therapy and hot incredible that cold therapy and hot incredible that cold therapy and hot therapy actually has like immediate
16:00therapy actually has like immediate therapy actually has like immediate effects that you're seeing I think that effects that you're seeing I think that effects that you're seeing I think that we don't see that very often but it's so we don't see that very often but it's so we don't see that very often but it's so true with both the physical and the true with both the physical and the true with both the physical and the mental release that you're getting from mental release that you're getting from mental release that you're getting from that and we don't see that really with that and we don't see that really with that and we don't see that really with anything else and on top of that you're anything else and on top of that you're anything else and on top of that you're also integrating the breath work during also integrating the breath work during also integrating the breath work during these sessions is that correct yeah these sessions is that correct yeah these sessions is that correct yeah that's correct so we have uh during the that's correct so we have uh during the that's correct so we have uh during the classes uh the instructors uh some classes uh the instructors uh some classes uh the instructors uh some people do live breath work some play people do live breath work some play people do live breath work some play from our guided app and it's part of the from our guided app and it's part of the from our guided app and it's part of the programming for sure but the app itself programming for sure but the app itself programming for sure but the app itself is more just a separate digital product is more just a separate digital product is more just a separate digital product but yeah breath work is definitely part but yeah breath work is definitely part but yeah breath work is definitely part of the programming it's part of our of the programming it's part of our of the programming it's part of our culture and you know who we are for sure culture and you know who we are for sure culture and you know who we are for sure it's great that you can tap into all of it's great that you can tap into all of it's great that you can tap into all of those aspects um do you find that people those aspects um do you find that people those aspects um do you find that people have been saying that mentally they've have been saying that mentally they've have been saying that mentally they've and physically they've seen benefits and physically they've seen benefits and physically they've seen benefits from their short time at other ship from their short time at other ship from their short time at other ship already yeah and I me we've had also the already yeah and I me we've had also the already yeah and I me we've had also the garage space open for a couple years garage space open for a couple years garage space open for a couple years before that so we really have I mean
17:00before that so we really have I mean before that so we really have I mean just me personally I started doing ice just me personally I started doing ice just me personally I started doing ice Bass about three years ago when we were Bass about three years ago when we were Bass about three years ago when we were testing the ice bath in my partner's testing the ice bath in my partner's testing the ice bath in my partner's backyard and it's changed my life uh backyard and it's changed my life uh backyard and it's changed my life uh profoundly you know I going through profoundly you know I going through profoundly you know I going through covid uh you know coming from the covid uh you know coming from the covid uh you know coming from the hospitality space is probably one of the hospitality space is probably one of the hospitality space is probably one of the most stressful times of my life you know most stressful times of my life you know most stressful times of my life you know and to deal with that I actually used and to deal with that I actually used and to deal with that I actually used the ice bass you know I would have be the ice bass you know I would have be the ice bass you know I would have be having like very intense conversations having like very intense conversations having like very intense conversations uh in the middle of Co uh trying to deal uh in the middle of Co uh trying to deal uh in the middle of Co uh trying to deal and trying to navigate through these and trying to navigate through these and trying to navigate through these things and again everything was closed things and again everything was closed things and again everything was closed and so it was almost like a godsend that and so it was almost like a godsend that and so it was almost like a godsend that I could have access to this ice bath and I could have access to this ice bath and I could have access to this ice bath and to sauna and it really allows me to to sauna and it really allows me to to sauna and it really allows me to regulate and get through these really regulate and get through these really regulate and get through these really these tough times and so we're seeing these tough times and so we're seeing these tough times and so we're seeing people that are coming in they're like people that are coming in they're like people that are coming in they're like yeah this is now part of my my routine yeah this is now part of my my routine yeah this is now part of my my routine my life now you know this is has changed my life now you know this is has changed my life now you know this is has changed my mood it's changed my mood the next my mood it's changed my mood the next my mood it's changed my mood the next day I come into work I'm less stressed day I come into work I'm less stressed day I come into work I'm less stressed I'm more energized you know unless I'm more energized you know unless I'm more energized you know unless worried all the time and so people
18:00worried all the time and so people worried all the time and so people really are are feeling the benefits really are are feeling the benefits really are are feeling the benefits spilling into their days it's spilling spilling into their days it's spilling spilling into their days it's spilling into their weeks it's spilling into into their weeks it's spilling into into their weeks it's spilling into their friendships and and the their friendships and and the their friendships and and the relationships and I think the more you relationships and I think the more you relationships and I think the more you do this the more you realize how do this the more you realize how do this the more you realize how important it is to focus on I completely important it is to focus on I completely important it is to focus on I completely agree I've been doing cold and hot agree I've been doing cold and hot agree I've been doing cold and hot showers for a while now so the contrast showers for a while now so the contrast showers for a while now so the contrast showers and it's it's that immediate showers and it's it's that immediate showers and it's it's that immediate benefit um it's improved my anxiety my benefit um it's improved my anxiety my benefit um it's improved my anxiety my depression and I would recommend it to depression and I would recommend it to depression and I would recommend it to every one if they could just take the every one if they could just take the every one if they could just take the time to work on their emotions while time to work on their emotions while time to work on their emotions while also you know I think the physical also you know I think the physical also you know I think the physical aspect of it makes it a little bit aspect of it makes it a little bit aspect of it makes it a little bit easier to focus on those emotions easier to focus on those emotions easier to focus on those emotions because the emotions really do come up because the emotions really do come up because the emotions really do come up it's that feeling of sitting in that it's that feeling of sitting in that it's that feeling of sitting in that cold telling yourself I can't do this cold telling yourself I can't do this cold telling yourself I can't do this anymore like this is too much but with anymore like this is too much but with anymore like this is too much but with other ship you actually have that other ship you actually have that other ship you actually have that Community around you supporting you just Community around you supporting you just Community around you supporting you just like you said and that's a completely like you said and that's a completely like you said and that's a completely different aspect and I think that different aspect and I think that different aspect and I think that strengthens your bond with the people strengthens your bond with the people strengthens your bond with the people around you because because they're around you because because they're around you because because they're coaching you through these difficult

23:00think anybody's looking to go out and think anybody's looking to go out and have a social experience that doesn't have a social experience that doesn't have a social experience that doesn't require you know alcohol I think this is require you know alcohol I think this is require you know alcohol I think this is a great option for them yeah I mean I a great option for them yeah I mean I a great option for them yeah I mean I definitely need to come and check you definitely need to come and check you definitely need to come and check you guys out it sounds like such an amazing guys out it sounds like such an amazing guys out it sounds like such an amazing experience totally up my alley um I will experience totally up my alley um I will experience totally up my alley um I will definitely be taking some of my definitely be taking some of my definitely be taking some of my classmates with me because I know they'd classmates with me because I know they'd classmates with me because I know they'd be into that the whole experience just be into that the whole experience just be into that the whole experience just sounds so unique but just touching on sounds so unique but just touching on sounds so unique but just touching on what you just said um I think that even what you just said um I think that even what you just said um I think that even if you are used to going out to the bar if you are used to going out to the bar if you are used to going out to the bar on Fridays and Saturdays I think this on Fridays and Saturdays I think this on Fridays and Saturdays I think this would be such an amazing experience for would be such an amazing experience for would be such an amazing experience for people to challenge themselves and do people to challenge themselves and do people to challenge themselves and do something different and see how they something different and see how they something different and see how they feel compared to how they feel after feel compared to how they feel after feel compared to how they feel after going out to the bar to maybe find a going out to the bar to maybe find a going out to the bar to maybe find a replacement for that or kind of mix it replacement for that or kind of mix it replacement for that or kind of mix it and integrate it instead of going out and integrate it instead of going out and integrate it instead of going out all the time yeah I I mean again I I all the time yeah I I mean again I I all the time yeah I I mean again I I come from the entertainment industry and come from the entertainment industry and come from the entertainment industry and so I think I don't think it's binary to so I think I don't think it's binary to so I think I don't think it's binary to like you come here or go out but I think like you come here or go out but I think like you come here or go out but I think it's depending where you are in your it's depending where you are in your it's depending where you are in your life if you're uh you know if you if you life if you're uh you know if you if you life if you're uh you know if you if you like going out to nightclubs and this is like going out to nightclubs and this is like going out to nightclubs and this is like all just don't want to do this like all just don't want to do this like all just don't want to do this three days in a row and I want to you

25:00something really special that we can something really special that we can share yeah absolutely I think for the share yeah absolutely I think for the share yeah absolutely I think for the timing and for where people are at like timing and for where people are at like timing and for where people are at like people are really there's I think people are really there's I think people are really there's I think there's a loneliness epidemic and I there's a loneliness epidemic and I there's a loneliness epidemic and I think there's you know people are really think there's you know people are really think there's you know people are really struggling in a lot of ways and they struggling in a lot of ways and they struggling in a lot of ways and they don't really know how to deal with it don't really know how to deal with it don't really know how to deal with it and so that kind of brought up another and so that kind of brought up another and so that kind of brought up another point is that you know you're you're point is that you know you're you're point is that you know you're you're kind of working on your mental health kind of working on your mental health kind of working on your mental health and know in a in a fun and a cool way and know in a in a fun and a cool way and know in a in a fun and a cool way it's just you know you don't want to be it's just you know you don't want to be it's just you know you don't want to be like oh hey I'm going out we really want like oh hey I'm going out we really want like oh hey I'm going out we really want to call it kind of firm the mental fit to call it kind of firm the mental fit to call it kind of firm the mental fit term and and to provide uh a place where term and and to provide uh a place where term and and to provide uh a place where people can can do that again in in a fun people can can do that again in in a fun people can can do that again in in a fun way and an accessible way yeah and it way and an accessible way yeah and it way and an accessible way yeah and it normalizes uh mental health um and normalizes uh mental health um and normalizes uh mental health um and sharing that experience with other sharing that experience with other sharing that experience with other people because that is so important for people because that is so important for people because that is so important for us to have and I think that we're us to have and I think that we're us to have and I think that we're starting to slowly move in that starting to slowly move in that starting to slowly move in that direction but it's it's been something direction but it's it's been something direction but it's it's been something that as a society we've been really that as a society we've been really that as a society we've been really working towards because it was taboo for working towards because it was taboo for working towards because it was taboo for so long but now I think we're kind of so long but now I think we're kind of so long but now I think we're kind of getting getting to that point where it's getting getting to that point where it's getting getting to that point where it's like we want to share that experience
26:00like we want to share that experience like we want to share that experience everyone is dealing with it and the everyone is dealing with it and the everyone is dealing with it and the pandemic really brought that up and now pandemic really brought that up and now pandemic really brought that up and now is the time for us to move towards that is the time for us to move towards that is the time for us to move towards that and just making it a more normalized and just making it a more normalized and just making it a more normalized experience so that we don't feel alone experience so that we don't feel alone experience so that we don't feel alone and in those difficult times it's so and in those difficult times it's so and in those difficult times it's so much easier to lean on someone and I much easier to lean on someone and I much easier to lean on someone and I think Community makes that so so much think Community makes that so so much think Community makes that so so much easier yeah of course I think Community easier yeah of course I think Community easier yeah of course I think Community is huge I believe you know also like the is huge I believe you know also like the is huge I believe you know also like the phones are a huge problem like phones are a huge problem like phones are a huge problem like everyone's on their phone all the time everyone's on their phone all the time everyone's on their phone all the time so even coming to the space to to put so even coming to the space to to put so even coming to the space to to put your phone down for 75 minutes and your phone down for 75 minutes and your phone down for 75 minutes and actually not look at it it's probably actually not look at it it's probably actually not look at it it's probably the only time you're doing that in a day the only time you're doing that in a day the only time you're doing that in a day I think really and so uh it's it's just I think really and so uh it's it's just I think really and so uh it's it's just nice your your your whole mind your your nice your your your whole mind your your nice your your your whole mind your your body just finally taking a break and body just finally taking a break and body just finally taking a break and you're just kind of like allowing you're just kind of like allowing you're just kind of like allowing yourself to to relax so uh it hits on on yourself to to relax so uh it hits on on yourself to to relax so uh it hits on on a few different levels but most a few different levels but most a few different levels but most importantly it's it's good for you in so importantly it's it's good for you in so importantly it's it's good for you in so many ways so yeah and like when do we many ways so yeah and like when do we many ways so yeah and like when do we really even when we're with our friends

29:00big part of our day and our mental big part of our day and our mental well-being throughout the day so I'd well-being throughout the day so I'd well-being throughout the day so I'd love for you to tell us what your ideal love for you to tell us what your ideal love for you to tell us what your ideal morning routine that helps you have like morning routine that helps you have like morning routine that helps you have like the best mental health day is yeah for the best mental health day is yeah for the best mental health day is yeah for me I think routines I've I've done in me I think routines I've I've done in me I think routines I've I've done in the past where I've kind of had these the past where I've kind of had these the past where I've kind of had these really complex routines and they're they really complex routines and they're they really complex routines and they're they feel amazing but they're just not feel amazing but they're just not feel amazing but they're just not sustainable and so I really focus on sustainable and so I really focus on sustainable and so I really focus on kind of like two or three things for me kind of like two or three things for me kind of like two or three things for me waking up relatively early you know I waking up relatively early you know I waking up relatively early you know I wake up around 7:30 and I just don't wake up around 7:30 and I just don't wake up around 7:30 and I just don't look at my phone for 4 45 minutes that's look at my phone for 4 45 minutes that's look at my phone for 4 45 minutes that's that's the biggest thing for me because that's the biggest thing for me because that's the biggest thing for me because I really just want to wake up I really I really just want to wake up I really I really just want to wake up I really like to Relish in that feeling of like like to Relish in that feeling of like like to Relish in that feeling of like you get up looking outside this the you get up looking outside this the you get up looking outside this the sunshine is there you really don't have sunshine is there you really don't have sunshine is there you really don't have any new information to stress you out any new information to stress you out any new information to stress you out and I do yeah and that's it's really and I do yeah and that's it's really and I do yeah and that's it's really important that you can wake up and allow important that you can wake up and allow important that you can wake up and allow your mind to settle a little bit and your mind to settle a little bit and your mind to settle a little bit and then I do a five minute breath work then I do a five minute breath work then I do a five minute breath work usually from our app and then I really usually from our app and then I really usually from our app and then I really make sure the first input is like a make sure the first input is like a make sure the first input is like a positive and so I just I just kind of positive and so I just I just kind of positive and so I just I just kind of think about three things that I'm think about three things that I'm think about three things that I'm grateful for and I write that down and grateful for and I write that down and grateful for and I write that down and it's very very simple none of that's it's very very simple none of that's it's very very simple none of that's really hard to do but it's super
30:00really hard to do but it's super really hard to do but it's super sustainable and I found that that really sustainable and I found that that really sustainable and I found that that really is something that's you know changed my is something that's you know changed my is something that's you know changed my mood and the direction of my entire day mood and the direction of my entire day mood and the direction of my entire day that's a really great morning routine that's a really great morning routine that's a really great morning routine and I think it's a great point of making and I think it's a great point of making and I think it's a great point of making it simple and sustainable I don't think it simple and sustainable I don't think it simple and sustainable I don't think that morning routines have to be that morning routines have to be that morning routines have to be anything crazy long anything like two anything crazy long anything like two anything crazy long anything like two hours you know or you don't have to wake hours you know or you don't have to wake hours you know or you don't have to wake up at 4:00 a.m. to get your morning up at 4:00 a.m. to get your morning up at 4:00 a.m. to get your morning routine started but I think the phone routine started but I think the phone routine started but I think the phone one that's a big Point I've been trying one that's a big Point I've been trying one that's a big Point I've been trying to make on the podcast too is when you to make on the podcast too is when you to make on the podcast too is when you wake up and you look right at your phone wake up and you look right at your phone wake up and you look right at your phone it does cause like that spike in it does cause like that spike in it does cause like that spike in cortisol it starts your day off on the cortisol it starts your day off on the cortisol it starts your day off on the wrong foot when we're in taking wrong foot when we're in taking wrong foot when we're in taking information that we can't control so information that we can't control so information that we can't control so that's a really good morning routine I that's a really good morning routine I that's a really good morning routine I do like that and then the next question do like that and then the next question do like that and then the next question what makes you feel inspired or like what makes you feel inspired or like what makes you feel inspired or like your best self I think for me just kind your best self I think for me just kind your best self I think for me just kind of being on the other ship theme it's of being on the other ship theme it's of being on the other ship theme it's it's when I'm watching people go through it's when I'm watching people go through it's when I'm watching people go through these experiences in this place I've these experiences in this place I've these experiences in this place I've created and they're just telling me how created and they're just telling me how created and they're just telling me how amazing they feel or this had this crazy amazing they feel or this had this crazy amazing they feel or this had this crazy amazing experience I've LED classes
