I was a Buddhist monk for ten years. I shaved my head, lived in monasteries, and meditated for 16 hours a day. Then I thought: how do I explain this to someone on their lunch break?
Ten minutes a day. That's all we ask. Not an hour. Not a retreat. Ten minutes. If you can't find ten minutes, you don't have a time problem — you have a priority problem.
Andy had the meditation expertise. I had the advertising background. He knew how to teach mindfulness. I knew how to sell it. That combination built a billion-dollar company.
People think meditation is about clearing your mind. It's not. It's about seeing your mind clearly. There's a massive difference. One is impossible. The other changes everything.
We merged with Ginger, a mental health therapy platform. Meditation plus therapy plus psychiatry — all in one app. Nobody else has that full stack of mental health.
I taught meditation to 70 million people through a phone screen. My teachers in the monastery would find that either hilarious or deeply concerning. Probably both.
