On Meditation and how Headspace makes the world meditate

When we started this Podcast it was pretty clear to us that we
would have to do an episode on Meditation since it is such an
important topic when it comes to mental health and it certainly
became even more indispensable during the pandemic. So you can
certainly imagine that we are beyond excited about our latest guest
Frank Bach, Lead Product Designer of Headspace, our favorite
mediation app and probably also the most prominent one on the
market. Headspace’s mission statement is to increase the world’s
mental health and overall happiness - simply by making the world
meditate. Their approach is that science always comes first which
is why the app is free of any spiritual or religious influences
whatsoever in order to include as many people as possible.
Headspace uses 10-12 minute long meditation sessions that you can
dive into at any time of the day. It's such an easy concept and
specifically designed to incorporate meditation into your daily
life no matter how busy the life style. We have talked with Frank
about the specifics of the product and how and why it works so well
- and of course, since at the end of the day Headspace is an
LA-based tech and wellness company we were totally curious to learn
more about the working culture of the company that has the goal to
make the world a happier place.
