On the night of October 9, 2017, I jumped out of bed, walked outside, and there was a wildfire racing down the hillside. We lost absolutely everything. Our office, our home. We lost our business. And I said to my wife, we need to do something right now. We need to meditate. And as we meditated, we literally felt ourselves drop back into our bodies. We were there again, and we began to make jokes about all the shit we lost in the house we didn't like. We had a lot of challenges, but we basically were resilient people. And that's the magic of growing a resilient brain. When the pandemic hit, people said, aren't you worried about the pandemic and the financial crash? If you've had your house burned out around your ears, the answer is no.
