In this episode, I interview Dr. Elise Bialylew, The Founder of Mind Life Project based in Melbourne. Mind Life Project teaches people how to use their minds to their best through mindfulness meditation. It offers online and one-on-one mindfulness-based training to enhance the function of the mind for better living.

Dr. Elise applies her medical understanding, her passion, and creativity and grew from 1 FTE to 6 teaching thousands of people each year with great feedback.

She quoted “Success is being clear on what matters most to you.” This Cast Covers: The importance of meditation to every business owner in order to run the business with value.
