Somatic Mindfulness 101 with Dr. Fleet Maull

Most mindfulness advice tells you to quiet your mind. Dr. Fleet Maull teaches something different, somatic mindfulness for entrepreneurs that works from the body up, not the head down. And his understanding of resilience and transformation didn't come from a textbook. It came from 14 years in federal prison.  Dr. Fleet Maull is a Buddhist priest, executive coach, and founder of HeartMind, an Inc. 5000 company. After serving over a decade in federal prison on drug charges, he built the philosophy he now calls "radical responsibility" and used it to create national hospice and mindfulness programs from inside prison walls before launching a thriving business at age 71. In this episode, he and Dr. John break down the neuroscience of why most people quit meditation, how somatic mindfulness for entrepreneurs leads to sharper decisions and less reactivity, and how Fleet rebuilt his entire life using the same principles he now teaches founders and CEOs.In this episode, you'll learn:Why somatic mindfulness for entrepreneurs works faster than traditional "focus on your breath" meditation, and the neuroscience behind it.The "default mode network" vs. "task positive network," and why your wandering mind defaults to negativity.The minimum effective dose of mindfulness backed by research (it's only 12 minutes).Why busy, ADHD-style minds often respond better to embodied practices than cognitive ones.How to use "body-based decision-making" before a major business call, hire, or deal.Fleet's concept of radical responsibility, and how it kept him from falling into a victim mindset during 14 years in federal prison.How he built the first hospice program in prison history during the height of the AIDS epidemicWhy recency bias quietly sabotages investors and entrepreneurs alike.What's coming from Fleet's HeartMind organization, including a free entrepreneurship summit this July.Connect with Dr. Fleet Maull:LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/fleetmaullWebsite - https://www.heartmind.co/Connect with Dr. John M.
