MYB 031: Chris Downham
After years being in financial services and property businesses with his identical twin, in 2019 Chris decided to make a complete change.  Chris changed his businesses, his exercise, his nutrition; he stopped drinking and became plant-based.  The next 2 years were full of running, doing yoga & Pilates, and setting up R1SE yoga with his wife (Jen).  After the pandemic struck, R1SE pivoted gracefully and continued to thrive in the new world. In this episode, you’ll learn:  - His morning routine - Why he reminds me of the Wolf of Wall Street - Making over $1,000,000 - Building a wellbeing village in the Bulgarian mountains - Old Chris Vs New Chris at the age of 41 - How he started his yoga studio - R1SE - The benefits of gamifying and rewarding behaviour change in regards to health and fitness - His experience with being framed  - Being served a demand to pay $7,000,000 in 7 days - Becoming bankrupt - Why he went vegan but calls it plant-based - Why he spent 2 years of his life clearing an acre of land by hand starting in the British winter - How he found yoga - The one child-like activity that makes it hard to be depressed - The benefit of failing quickly Vs slowly - The 6 hacks Chris lives by and believers if you have these in your life, you will be the best version of yourself - His cure for the mindless consumption of media - Increasing his reading speed from 180wpm to 600 - Why he naps for exactly 26 minutes after skulling a coffee Connect with Chris:  https://www.r1se.co.uk  Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/r1seyoga/  Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/R1SEYOGA  Thank you so much for checking out this episode of The Mind Your Body Show.
