Othership Flatiron opens its doors today after 25 months of work. I'm more proud of this than anything else I've done in my life.
Announcing: Othership App
After two years of hard work, pivots, and shutdowns, we're excited to share Othership App with the world.
We've raised $2m from

This is our story 👇
I'm officially moving to NYC on May 13 to launch Othership Flatiron early June. DM me if you want to come check it out before the public. Renders here :)

We’ve created the best tactical guide on burnout for early stage founders — including assessment and prevention tactics. Based on ten years of personal research, practice and advice from leaders in the field, some essential reading for optimizing performance as a founder. 👇
Given the constant fight-or-flight of running a startup, founder burnout is extremely common.
In this piece,

discuss why founder burnout happens and how to prevent it.
After three years of stops and starts, thousands of ice baths in a backyard and garage, we’re about to launch the Othership. The first healthy social space in North America to work through positive emotions in a class. Check out our first ever 50 person sauna class. It’s here.

It integrates breathwork and meditation with a 90-person sauna and cold plunges to deliver “peak experiences” for emotional well-being.
My favorite

feature is a light that simulates sunset. I get joy from implementing ideas rare to a bathhouse. It's 8 feet diameter and custom designed (shape, colour palette and programming) to put the nervous system in balance. opens next week

Been using Othership app for breathwork sessions in the cold plunge.
They have guided ice bath sessions that are really good.
Really focuses you on the present moment.
No affiliation with the company, just enjoying it.
Going on a dark retreat tomorrow from April 1st - April 14th. Have felt the addiction to work creeping in heavily and want to completely reset my dopamine response. Also wanted to challenge myself. Wondering what a dark retreat is? 👇

Historic moment -- for the first time people considered "healthy" are legally able to use psychedelic medicines. This could open up a future where couples therapy, individual personal growth sessions and rites of passage are legal!
