Most men are running on empty.
No sleep.
High stress.
Always on guard.

On this episode of Raw Minds Podcast, Erick sits down with Tim Thomas, former Special Forces candidate, veteran advocate, and creator of Breathwork in Bed.

At 30 years old, Tim stepped into Special Forces Selection as the oldest candidate allowed. No excuses. No guarantees. Just pressure. After military life, he hit burnout, undiagnosed PTSD, adrenal fatigue, and the reality that “harden up” was not a recovery strategy.

Instead of collapsing, he built one of Australia’s leading veteran recovery programs and helped save over 40 lives from suicide.

In this episode we break down:

• How pain turns into isolation
• Why loneliness is the real killer
• The hidden cost of poor sleep
• Why the economy profits off fatigue
• How breath directly controls your nervous system
• The “Energetic Millionaire” mindset
• Why rest is not weakness
• Live breathwork exercises you can try immediately

Tim explains how sleep is the soil of performance and why most men are living in fight or flight without knowing it. You will hear real breathwork demonstrations during this episode and Erick shares his live experience using the app.

If you cannot control your breath, you cannot control your state.
If you cannot sleep, you cannot lead.

This is not a soft conversation. This is about discipline, recovery, resilience, and breaking isolation.
