From $100M Exit to Breathwork Breakthrough (Ft Adam Ludwin)
Description
What if your biggest breakthrough came from something you’ve been doing your whole life—breathing?
I sit down with Adam Ludwin, founder of FivePointFive, a cutting-edge breathwork app that uses real-time biometrics and music to transform your mental, emotional, and physical state—anytime, anywhere. But Adam didn’t start here.
We unpack his journey from building and exiting a $100M+ marketing tech company, to nearly burning out, to rediscovering meaning through breathwork. He shares how fatherhood shaped his views on education and well-being, how functional breathwork saved his health, and why he believes personalized, science-backed breathwork is the future of performance and longevity.
