Special Guest: Tim Thomas

What this episode covers

Special Guest Night! Chris is joined by Tim Thomas — former Australian Special Forces operator, founder of Breathwork in Bed, and a dyslexic who sees patterns everyone else misses. After years of grinding through Afghanistan, family, struggles, and more, Tim hit rock-bottom fatigue in the dirt. What he discovered there changed everything: energy is like money — how you invest it determines what you get back. With zero coaching, he invented a simple breathwork visualization that turned “two cents” of energy into two dollars… then twenty. Energy up = awareness up. Thoughts shifted from “me and my trouble” to “I’ve got a team around me.” He dropped the ego (creating what he calls the “ego bridge”), made coffee for his alpha platoon mates, and watched tension melt, shoulders relax, and fighting stop — all from one conscious breath. Servanthood, not servitude. Abundance over obligation. Tim explains how this pattern recognition and breath practice pulled him out of PTSD and now helps veterans and civilians reclaim their energy, awareness, and connection. Raw, practical, life-changing wisdom from a warrior who turned rock-bottom into a repeatable system.
