Dr. Jonathan Locust unpacks how a 24-day fast, health turbulence, and corporate burnout rewired his operating system. We pressure test whether consciousness belongs in boardrooms. We deconstruct ConsciRise. a vetted marketplace and community for holistic practitioners designed to protect seekers from bad actors. Expect real talk on people-first org design, retention, remote-work tradeoffs, and why safety beats speed when customers are vulnerable. If you lead teams or build products. this conversation gives you a pragmatic framework for sustainable growth, culture, and brand trust that actually compounds.\u00a0\nAbout the guest:\nDr. Jonathan Locust \u00a0is a former higher-ed and corporate VP turned founder of ConsciRise. a free consciousness community and a rigorously vetted network of holistic practitioners. His work centers on safety, integrity, and scalable healing experiences across diverse modalities.\nKey takeaways:\n\n\nConscious leadership is not fluffy. it is an operating model that boosts retention and talent density when paired with real wellness infrastructure, meditation spaces, and restorative policies\n\n\nSafety outranks speed when serving people in crisis. building trust is the moat in mission-driven businesses\n\n\nBurnout teaches the limits of raw hustle. disciplined recovery work can sharpen communication, self-belief, and decision hygiene at the executive level\n\n\nExperiences like fasting or breathwork are personal tools. the throughline is agency, energetic balance, and alignment between inner life and external outcomes\n\n\nCulture has shifted. many employees trade salary for autonomy and remote optionality. people-first design now determines hiring velocity and lifetime value\n\n\nThe market needs vetting.
