By day, he advises biotech and health companies, but his true magic lies in his work as a spiritual performance coach and writer of the blog The Rise, which has thousands of loyal subscribers.
He’s a biohacking, mindfulness-loving, caffeine-quitting guru who bridges the gap between spirituality and productivity.
This conversation left me profoundly wordless every five minutes. Seriously, it was only after listening to it a month later that I fully grasped the lessons Zan shared. Whether you're feeling stuck, questioning your purpose, or just wondering, “Why am I even doing any of this?”, this podcast is for you.
Here’s what we explored:
How to effortlessly perform and accomplish hard tasks
Why Zan quit caffeine and how he gets energy for writing
How self-inquiry and shadow work can transform your life
Where to start on your spiritual journey
The power of surrendering to life’s chaos
Using cold exposure as a tool for surrender
Finding purpose in the ride of life instead of the destination
We even dove into some personal territory, including my reflections on family and my relationship with my twin brother during Thanksgiving.
His approach combines self-improvement, mindfulness, and deep questions like, “Who is the ‘I’ that’s left when you strip everything away?”
This was a short but powerful episode (don’t worry, Part 2 is coming!), and we’d love your input. Comment below with what you want to learn more about from Zan for our next conversation!
