In this episode, we speak with Jesse Israel, leadership coach, speaker, and founder of The Big Quiet, a mass meditation movement that has brought thousands of people together for conscious connection in places like Madison Square Garden, Central Park, SXSW and even in stadiums with Oprah.
Jesse had been cultivating community long before The Big Quiet, and he talks with us about how as a burnt-out music exec, he turned to meditation to reconnect to his life.
We dive into how Jesse started-by hosting simple meditation circles around NYC and how it snowballed into a worldwide movement.
Topics covered:
-How to get people bought-in to your activity
-How leaders empower others to share

-How to retain intimacy of experiences as they scale
-What's next for The Big Quiet
