Most people think the fix for stress is another biohack: an ice bath, a supplement, a $150K hyperbaric chamber. Jules Horn says the real fix has been sitting in your chest the whole time.

Former model, now breathwork and nervous system coach, Jules Horn unpacks why most people are stuck in fight or flight without even knowing it, why "what's possible isn't always optimal," and why chasing more, money, validation, relationships, never actually fills the void.

Key discussion points

• Chronic stress and nervous system disregulation as the hidden default state of modern life
• The "stress cup": auditing what adds vs. removes stress from your day
• What's possible isn't the same as what's optimal
• Chasing achievement, money, or love never fills an internal void
• How trauma stays stored in the body until it's processed
• The "perfect breath" and why breath cadence is the lowest hanging fruit for regulation
• Why biohacks like ice baths and fasting can backfire without a regulated nervous system first
• Jules' burnout story: modelling career collapse, chronic back pain, and a family health history tied to suppressed emotion
• Belief and self-imposed limits

Every rule was broken in this episode and I couldn't be happier. Today's episode is with Fraser Grut, my good friend and what better way to do it in his style.

Fraser is on a mission to film 10,000 dreams (a 50 year mission) and he does it in such a cool, raw, authentic style. I let him steer the ship creatively with this one and I love how it turned out.

We deep dive on God, having a mission, the importance of dreams and everything in between. 

Fraser is a ball of life and has the most contagious energy. I hope you can feel it through the screen. Enjoy
