What a treat Hedge Schoolers! This week on the How to be Human series we’ve got our special guest Jaleel Mackey.
Jaleel is co-founder (with Tom Williamson) of Breath Rise + Thrive which started in 2020. "The message kind of came to me, I know breathwork, I know meditation, I know what it means to navigate times of uncertainty… I know what it means to try to fix my life, repair the brokenness. And try to come out on the other side with a little bit more clarity and purpose and a sense of who I am. And so I said, you know what, I'm best suited in the streets, in the trenches. So I quit my job at Google, started BRT, to teach people breathwork, meditation and other types of peak performance tools for them to navigate times of uncertainty. Which it felt like the world really needed at that time." -Jaleel Mackey
