My life has been changed! · 🇺🇸 Skool IRL: Texas

My life has been changed!

Friends,

I want to share a breakthrough I had during VIP day.

First my background: I've been a meditation teacher for 10 years now full time. I trained in the mountains of China for 10 years. My background is in Chan (Chinese Zen) Zen (Japanese Zen) and Tibetan Methods of meditation. In my time in China it was split between the mountains and coming into the cities to share with Fortune 500 companies what I learned.

In 4 years in Shanghai we build online communities of thousands and I grew a name for myself as a well known meditation teacher in China.

Then it was time to come home, to share what I had learned in the US...

I moved to Austin 5 years ago and spent 4 years of that time training other meditation teachers in social entrepreneurship and leadership. I realized, my true calling is teaching meditation - which is something I've always done.

I started a nonprofit called MeditationCommunity.org to bring more in person meditation sessions to the people of Austin Texas, and hopefully more than that in time... In 15 months we've gathered 700 in person members.

In order to help more people, I started The Daily Meditation Community: skool.com/meditate

It's been pretty successful but it hasn't caught fire and scaled in the way that I imagined it would.

I learned a lot though.... One huge thing, is that 80% of my attendees are men.

kindly pointed this out to me while I was sitting next to her during VIP day and she saw as clear as day that this would be a much better niche for me (teaching men meditation). I'm kind of a large guy, train jiujitsu, kick-boxing, and can be a little intense (passionate :))

Long story short, she inspired me to create Meditation Men, which is a free community for men to come together at 12pm during the week to meditate (mostly in silence) and share what's on our mind afterwords. (Also picked up MeditationMen.org - It's insane how many good domains are still available)

I have to say, I'm very nervous about this strong pivot however I'm a fan of trusting my intuition and seeing what comes out of it.

Even writing this is a bit hard for me, but I trust it will work out as the Universe has a plan for us all..

Gratitude to Mr. G

@Gerardo Patino

for inviting me to this event. Without him, none of this would have happened!

If you're a man and interested in meditation, please join us. It would help you, other men, and society learn to have more peace, awareness, and compassion for others: skool.com/meditationmen

With warmth,

Brandon

Oh, we have a mascot too, Peaceful Panda. He's jacked and he does what he wants.

Thank you again

@Veronica White

for your kindness and helping more men find tools for mental health!!
