In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik sits down with Jorge Olson—author, marketer, and entrepreneur who has launched over 1,000 consumer products and helped take five companies public.

Jorge shares his journey from growing up in poverty in Tijuana to surviving multiple traumatic brain injuries and discovering how breathwork, meditation, and time control became his ultimate assets. A powerful listen for anyone juggling ambition with burnout.
