    Erik Kaiser, Inventor and CEO of Crush The Memory

    One day, Erik Kaiser, was worth $200m and the next day he was worth -$5m
    It was a moment which changed his perception of the world, changed his personality, and ultimately set him on a new trajectory.
    He has risen from the ashes, more times than he has been burnt to the ground. He shares the harsh realities of business, to offer a truly balanced perspective. Which is quite the opposite to the glitz and glamour so many entrepreneurs these days want you to think. His favourite pastime is debunking business tweets an X 
    He solves problems through 30 years of self-funded startups and his latest venture, Crush The Memory, is the best idea I have seen in a long time!! Which we discuss at the end of our Pod conversation today.

Christopher Maher interview...

I am so thrilled to know this podcast exists! I’ve known Christopher for over a decade, worked privately, done the TrueBodyIntelligence trainings, and 8 Stepping Stones...it has truly impacted my life in such a powerful way-it’s hard to imagine who I’d be had I not incorporated this work into my life. I love my life and who I am becoming because of the commitment I have to TBI. I love this podcast because it showcases the work and Christopher in such an authentic way and is a brilliant way to introduce the world to TBI. Thank You for holding space for Christopher and this life-changing work, it speaks volumes about you guys and the courage you stand in. Love, Zoë Guess
