  • Kill Your Fatigue. Sean's Breathwork Results - Tim Thomas (Part 2).

    Kill Your Fatigue. Sean's Breathwork Results - Tim Thomas (Part 2).
    2026/01/27
    In this episode, Sean welcomes back former MMA fighter and Special Forces soldier Tim Thomas. Their discussion centers on the transformative power of breathwork, particularly its role in optimising recovery, enhancing sleep, and managing PTSD. Tim shares his personal journey from hitting rock bottom, facing undiagnosed PTSD, severe fatigue, and relationship breakdowns, to discovering how breathwork could rebuild his life and performance. Sean also reveals the results of his own challenge to implement Tim’s techniques, discussing how prioritising sleep and simple breathing exercises significantly improved his energy, mental acuity, and overall quality of life. KEY TAKEAWAYS Quality sleep isn't a luxury; it's a non-negotiable biological necessity. Sleep deprivation severely impacts mental health, increasing the likelihood of issues by 200-300% and hindering the body's ability to clear waste products from the brain. Engaging in simple breathwork exercises can interrupt the body's stress response (‘survival mode’), helping to regulate the nervous system, reduce anxiety, and transition the body into a state of rest and recovery. True high performance is built on a base of rest, recovery, and healing. Focusing solely on output (business goals, targets) without a solid foundation of recovery leads to burnout and diminishing returns. A simple ‘biohack’ for calming the nervous system involves splashing cold water on your face. This triggers the mammalian dive reflex, which instantly lowers heart rate and signals the body to conserve energy and reduce stress. You don't need hours of meditation. Consistent, small actions, like 15 minutes of breathwork before bed or taking three deep breaths during a stressful workday, can lead to massive improvements in sleep quality, mood, and mental clarity over time. BEST MOMENTS "Sleep is the soil that everything in your life is nourished in and grows from." "I was one of those guys who built his life on pushing hard, cashing in my tomorrows to live today, and eventually my tomorrows started catching up to me." "I realised if my team's having a bad day, I'm having a bad day. So simply by accessing breath, accessing better sleep. All of a sudden everything just became a whole lot more workable." "True high performance is built on a base of rest, recovery, and healing art forms. The top looks nothing like the bottom." "If you think life is hard, it's possibly hard to be around you. You're possibly the one in a crappy mood." HOST BIO Meet Your Host: Sean O’Hara, MBA – Entrepreneur, Sales Strategist, and Relentless Business Optimist.

  • Say Yes, Figure It Out Later: The Creative Path to Breakthrough Opportunities - with Paul Pape.

    Say Yes, Figure It Out Later: The Creative Path to Breakthrough Opportunities - with Paul Pape.
    2026/01/20
    Today, Sean sits down with Paul Pape, a creative powerhouse known as the ‘Santa for Nerds’. Paul shares his incredible 20-year journey from inventing pop-out architectural furniture to creating viral custom collectibles and props for giants like The Tonight Show, Disney, and Nickelodeon. They discuss the critical ‘Bend, Don't Break’ mindset that saved Paul’s career when technology threatened his first business, and his ‘Say Yes, Figure It Out Later’ approach that landed him a high-stakes project building a life-size LEGO Seinfeld set. KEY TAKEAWAYS When the market shifts or technology renders your product obsolete, you must be willing to pivot immediately. Standing rigid like a redwood will only lead to the collapse of your business; flexibility is the key to longevity. Growth often comes from accepting challenges you aren't fully prepared for. Whether it’s building a trophy for a worm-charming competition or a LEGO set for Jerry Seinfeld, trusting your ability to learn on the fly can open massive doors. Perfectionism kills momentum. Don't wait until a product is flawless to release it. Get it to a ‘done’ state, ship it, and refine it through future iterations based on real-world feedback. In the age of social media vanity metrics, entrepreneurs often obsess over viral fame. Paul argues you don't need millions of followers; you need 100 true fans who resonate with your specific passion to build a sustainable business foundation. In a crowded marketplace, your product is often just a commodity. The true differentiator is your story and your identity. When you sell who you are, the money becomes an exchange of value for your unique magic, not just a transaction for goods. BEST MOMENTS "You'll never be satisfied with perfect, you just gotta be satisfied with done." "Bend, don't break. I know too many people who stand as redwoods with their ideas, their ideologies, and their products. And what happens is when the seasons change, they can't adjust." "Quit selling your sh*t, sell yourself. You are the wizard. You are the magic item maker." "If you can run a lemonade stand, you can run a business. You just need to understand scaling. It's all it is." "There's 8.3 billion people on this planet. If you can find those 100 people [who love what you do], they will be your fans."

  • Recruit Top Talent to Your Team - with EA Clarke

    Recruit Top Talent to Your Team - with EA Clarke
    2026/01/13
    In this episode of the Durable Entrepreneur Show, host Sean O'Hara welcomes EA Clark, founder of Pivot and Edge, to discuss the critical importance of hiring the right talent for early-stage companies. With decades of experience in recruitment and a successful entrepreneurial journey of his own, EA shares insights on how to attract, hire, and retain team members who align with a company's culture and vision. He emphasizes the need for a marketing-first approach in recruitment, highlighting the significance of storytelling in attracting candidates who are genuinely passionate about the mission of the organization. EA also introduces the innovative "hub" technology that amplifies a company's message and engages potential hires, ultimately leading to a stronger foundation for sustainable growth. Tune in to learn valuable lessons on perseverance, the role of culture in hiring, and how to build a team that drives success beyond the critical early years. KEY TAKEAWAYS Early-stage companies should prioritise hiring individuals who not only possess the necessary skills but also align with the company's mission and culture. This cultural fit is crucial for long-term success and retention. Traditional recruitment often overlooks the importance of storytelling and marketing in attracting candidates. By amplifying the company's vision and culture through marketing strategies, organisations can attract candidates who are genuinely interested in their mission. Engaging potential candidates with compelling stories about the company's vision, mission, and culture can create a stronger connection. This approach helps candidates understand the organisation better and fosters a sense of belonging. Implementing tools like AI can enhance the recruitment process by streamlining tasks such as interview summaries. However, it's essential to ensure that technology adds value without replacing the personal touch that storytelling provides. Retaining talent is closely tied to employees' motivation and curiosity about the company's mission. When employees feel connected to the organisation's goals, they are more likely to stay engaged and committed, even during challenging times. BEST MOMENTS "I think the term durable... all of us had to have that kind of component piece to it before we would have gone to that step." “If you find those people, those are the people that are going to work tirelessly to solve it. They’re going to be the ones that wake up thinking about the organization." "You're looking for the people that have the same fire in their belly that the founder has." "I think AI has a place. I think it will continue to have more places. But the question needs to get asked, is that going to provide more value to us?" "Don't you want to work for a company that... you know, maybe you don't want to work for a company that does certain things against what you like?"
