Podcast: Founder's Story
Published On: Tue Aug 12 2025
Description: At 32, LD Chen was a successful CEO with over 1,000 employees—but also battling asthma, liver disease, chronic pain, anxiety, and a heart attack that nearly killed him. Nothing worked—until he discovered the ancient Taoist practice of Oneness. Now, LD is on a mission to bring this thousand-year-old healing tradition to one million people in the West. Key Discussion Points: The near-death moment that forced LD to rethink everything Why modern medicine and traditional mindfulness failed him The standing posture “genius design” that melts away stress and tension How Oneness dissolves anger and deepens compassion over time The science—and mystery—behind the practice’s power Why he refuses to dilute its authenticity for the Western market Takeaways: True transformation often comes from unexpected, ancient sources Healing the body can open doors to profound emotional and spiritual change Simplicity, presence, and consistency beat quick fixes every time Closing Thoughts:LD’s journey is proof that a thousand-year-old practice can be more relevant today than ever—especially in a world drowning in stress, distraction, and hustle culture. __________________________________________________________________________________ Get more leads and grow your business.
