How a Reformed Wall St. Banker Tackles His Issues of Stress

Event Details

John G. McGarvey is the founder of DAO Labs, a startup Chinese herbal medicine and lifestyle company based in Minneapolis that is revolutionizing this beautiful, powerful and ancient practice for western consumers and integrative medicine practitioners. During this talk, John will outline his journey from Wall Street to Tibet, and how by following the advice of a mentor in New York, he left the security of private equity to jump headfirst into a nasty turnaround management situation which eventually spawned his passion for entrepreneurialism.

After years of high stress jobs combined with a type-A personality that was nurtured since birth, John will share why he’s devoted the next phase of his career to a practice that is all about balance and mindfulness - and how DAO Labs goal of radically altering the way people approach their physical and mental health can unleash professional and personal energy like no other.

Moreover, he’ll talk about how ironically, the start-up stresses of a Chinese medicine company led him to create two new herbal formulas that are revolutionizing how we sleep at night - in one case completely eliminating the “2 AM panic attacks” that have plagued him for years.
