Modern Mantra is a venture design studio using technology to awaken the highest self. Each month we publish 4x podcasts around one of our core design themes, looking at the roots of our modern spiritual imbalance and conceptualizing new ways to use technology to help the world heal. In our How Might We podcasts, we start with a specific design question, unearth widespread societal pain points, and conceptualize new Design Solutions that can help solve them. In our Guest podcasts, we talk with conscious founders about their journey building heart-centered technology. The podcast is hosted by the studio's two founders, Nick Sarafa and Elijah Johnston. Both have extensive backgrounds in all parts technology and entrepreneurship as well as personal healing journeys that involve deep work in spiritual realms.
