Anthony shares his journey into breathwork, which began after a significant emotional breakup and was inspired by Wim Hof. He discusses how breathwork has been a therapeutic outlet for him to process deep emotions and explains the different styles of breathwork, including pranayama, rebirthing, and holotropic breathing. 

Anthony also delves into his involvement with men's groups, particularly the Arka Brotherhood, and explains the benefits of men coming together to heal the masculine, set boundaries, and find balance in their lives.
