EP. 16 | “I can teach you business in one word – meditation.”

Todd White is the founder of Dry Farm Wines – a passionate business based in Napa Valley that’s busy transforming the way people drink and view wine.

In this podcast, Todd talks about the practices and principles that enabled him to learn from a previous business failure (that cost him millions), to create Dry Farm Wines. A business that did $37,000 in revenue during 2015, $15m in 2017, and is in course to generate $28m in 2018.

What’s interesting about Todd’s incredible success is he hasn’t relied on conventional methods.

Instead, he’s creating from a place of flow – from a place where he’s connected with source energy. And that’s not just Todd. All 15 of Todd’s passionate employees practice the same daily rituals and ketogenic diet creating a powerful lifestyle where business success comes without disrupting Todd’s peace and presence – something that’s hugely important to him.

Todd is unlike most business owners I’ve met.

He has a unique take on the importance of money and has plenty to say about life architecture – something we dive into deep during this podcast episode.

So if you’ve been looking for a way to build a life of peace and calm and you want to know how an 8-figure business owner proactively builds his life (and company) in a way that removes stress and anxiety, this episode is for you.

Todd also throws down a challenge that wine can enhance your love life! Make sure you listen in to the end to hear what I have to say about that 🙂

And if you love wine, and you’d like to enjoy more (without the hangover), listen out for Todd’s special gift exclusively for Stay Grounded listeners. I think you’ll love it.
