·21 min·2 clips

Joe Fier reveals a 20-minute reset button that clears mental clutter like closing browser tabs.

In this solo episode, host Joe Fier addresses the common entrepreneurial struggle of feeling overwhelmed by daily grind and mental clutter. He frames the problem as having too many 'browser tabs open' in one's mind, leading to stress and reduced creativity. Fier introduces yoga nidra, also known as non-sleep deep rest (NSDR), as a solution he learned from Dr. Andrew Huberman. He describes it as a 20-minute guided meditation that resets the nervous system without causing grogginess, akin to a nap but more effective. Fier shares his personal routine, practicing it about three times a week, especially before stressful events like his upcoming family trip to Mexico. He explains the benefits, including releasing emotional wounds, reducing imposter syndrome, and enhancing intuition. The episode references previous guest Dr. Lise Janelle's work on subconscious habits and Dr. Gabor Mate's ideas on trauma storage in the body. Fier recommends using YouTube videos, particularly those by Ali Boothroyd, and suggests tools like noise-canceling headphones and an eye mask. He walks through the steps: find a quiet place, follow a guided script, focus on breath and body sensations, and allow deep relaxation. Fier recounts using it on a plane during a trip to Alaska, highlighting its versatility. He emphasizes immediate results, such as relief from headaches and increased clarity, and encourages listeners to try it for better resilience. The episode includes sponsor ads for HubSpot Service Hub, the podcast 'Mistakes That Made Me', and Kartra marketing platform, with a call to action for listener feedback.
