Meet Justin. A recovering capitalist, he knows that he's got to keep his workaholism under check, and that investing in bitcoin would be like 'shooting heroin'.

Today's guest was Justin Caffrey (visit his website here).

After losing his son 10 years ago he turned to 
Eastern Psychology | Philosophy | Neuroscience.  

Justin has become a recognised expert on the Vagus Nerve, the autonomic nervous system, and how Eastern traditions have recognised the importance of these key physiological repossess for thousands of years.
His research is a rich combination of Western neuroscience, Eastern philosophy, mindfulness and his own hard earned life experiences. 

Justin swims in cold water all year round, fasts daily for 19-hours, eats a plant based diet and meditates each morning at 5am. He is one of only a handful of Westerners to have completed the gruelling Master Training with the Yamabushi in the remote mountains of Shonai, in Japan.
