The Glo Podcast

The Glo Podcast asks questions about self-care, deepening your sense of self and inspiring you to take action for a better world. Derik Mills, co-founder and co-CEO of Glo.com, speaks with guests about their practices and solutions for managing burnout, getting more sleep, dealing with anxiety, and becoming a better listener.

We deepen our understanding of the connections we make in inner experiences that emerge from our biology, within our psychology, and through physical movement, and bring them into our outer experiences of relationships, workplace culture, and leadership. Self-care extends into our work life, our family life, and our innermost experiences of self. Self-care is not merely a concept we use to explore ourselves. It is a complexity of practices we can do with each other and by ourselves. We cover meditation and yoga practices, strategies to develop more inner strength and calm, and life choices to help you work with anxiety and burnout.

Glo connects people through self-care so that, together, we can heal ourselves and our planet.

Show notes

Breathwork teacher Jay Bradley discusses how breathwork has helped him heal and helped him heal others. Interviewed by guest host Gustavo Padron, Jay shares what it was like to grow up in a small Canadian town and the impact of being bullied for being gay. Jay talks about how he delved deeply into breathwork after attending a gay men’s group that had a breathwork circle. The experience of doing breathwork in the group was an inflection point for him, changing his life and, he says, transforming him on all levels.

Together, Gustavo and Jay make clear how breathwork can rewire your system. As Jay puts it, every inhale is brand-new energy that we’ve never had in the body before.

Psychotherapist Terri Cole helps you define your boundaries and navigate codependency in your relationships Feb 20, 2022

Show notes

There are many myths about what it means to have boundaries and why we may be afraid or unwilling to set them. Many women, says psychotherapist Terri Cole, are often raised to “be a good girl.” This is the highest virtue many women are raised to offer: Being liked. But when we prioritize other people over ourselves, it leads to a place of anger and bitterness. Terri Cole calls it “the disease to please.”

Her book Boundary Boss-The Essential Guide to Talk True, Be Seen and (Finally) Live Free will show you have to express your preferences, needs, and limits so you can live the happy, healthy life you deserve.

Her mission is teaching women how to attract and sustain healthy and vibrant love into their lives and how to establish and maintain effective boundaries with grace.

Addiction stories from Beth Macy, author of the book Dopesick, the basis of a series on Hulu. Feb 06, 2022

Show notes

Journalist Beth Macy was moved by the stories she reported about addiction. As she says in her interview with Derik Mills, “I’ve learned to pay attention to things that make the hair stand up on the back of my neck.” In her book Dopesick, she takes the reader into the epicenter of the nation’s opioid crisis. On the podcast, Beth shares her work process and some astounding statistics about the depth of the crisis. For example, in America, there is an 88% treatment gap, meaning that only 12% of people addicted to opioids have gotten treatment.

Beth and Derik discuss how drug addiction has been stigmatized. She shares some behind the scenes stories of filming the Hulu series based on her book, including her appearance in the show, and the fine acting work of Rosario Dawson, Michael Keaton, and Kaitlyn Dever.

Show notes

Continuing our series of interviews with first responders, Derik Mills chats with Erik Milosevich, a military veteran and retired police officer turned breathwork instructor. We met Erik through photographer, and fellow Glo podcast guest, Robert Sturman (episode #14), who photographed Erik and other military veterans who use yoga as a healing practice for PTSD and mental, emotional, and physical health.

As a police officer with the Santa Monica Police Department, Erik served on a variety of assignments, including collateral SWAT, Field Training Officer, Narcotics Investigator, and Neighborhood Resource Officer. He was also a Krav Maga Law Enforcement Instructor and taught classes on implicit and gender bias as well as defensive tactics.

Erik has spent the last 25 years designing programs and training police officers in yoga, meditation and breathwork, and is a certified Wim Hof Method Instructor. In today’s episode, he shares his career of service, how he discovered yoga and breathwork, and the powerful benefits they have had while training law enforcement.

Unlock your authentic leadership with Boundless Leadership co-author Elazar Aslan Dec 12, 2021

Show notes

Elazar Aslan is the Founder and CEO of Caterfly Solutions, a coaching firm that specializes in helping leaders operate from their peak potential to have a positive and sustainable impact on their businesses and communities. He recently co-authored “Boundless Leadership” with Dr. Joe Loizzo, who appeared on episode 32 of The Glo Podcast.

Today’s episode dives deeper into the kind of self-work authentic leadership requires. Elazar shares from his personal experience of endeavoring inward to discover his own leadership potential as well as his proven leadership principles and meditation practices he has used to guide leaders in corporations, including Chase, D&B, MasterCard, American Express, and ADP, as well as hyper-growth start-ups.

His views on leadership invite us to question our definition of what a leader is, and he has found that effective and healthy leadership is really about what is going on inside the leader. This interview is a follow-up conversation to Derik’s interview with Dr. Joe Loizzo, co-author of Boundless Leadership with Elazar, episode 32 (linked below).

Why compassionate leadership is the key to a healthy workplace with Dr. Loizzo Dec 05, 2021

Show notes

Derik Mills speaks with Dr. Joe Loizzo, co-author, with Elazar Aslan, on their new business book Boundless Leadership. Leadership is traditionally tied to stress and assumptions about stress. Dr. Joe Loizzo, psychotherapist, clinical researcher, and Buddhist scholar-teacher, speaks with Derik about pivoting from stress-fueled leadership styles to a kind of leadership that focuses on co-creating psychologically safe and meaningful relationships at work.

The workplace is where we spend most waking hours, and business has become, as Dr. Loizzo says, the dominant force on the planet. It’s time to reexamine how it is shaping us and how we can shape it so we can experience more compassion and fulfillment through our work.

In this conversation, Dr. Loizzo reveals their science-based vision of leadership grounded in current neuroscience and contemplative practices. Their systematic roadmap provides methods of training the mind that is secular, tradition neutral, such that anyone can use them to help transform our mind, body, and brain.
