Zen practice for decision-makers
Clarity under pressure — trained, not hoped for.
Meditation for founders and executives, taught by a working founder who has sat for twenty years. Learn to think clearly in the moments that decide everything — and to put the work down when it's done.
For people who run things
This isn't a relaxation app or spiritual escape. It's contemplative practice translated into the language of performance — clarity, judgment, and regulation when the outcome matters.
Founders
Decision fatigue, reactivity, and the 3am wake-ups that never quite stop.
Executives
Composure in the room when the stakes — and the scrutiny — are highest.
Coaches
A practice of your own, plus something real to give the leaders you advise.
Athletes
Focus before performance, and a way to actually switch off and recover.
What practice builds
- Clearer decisions when the load is heaviest
- Emotional regulation in conflict and negotiation
- Sustained deep work without burning out
- Recovery from decision fatigue
- Sleep that returns when the mind quiets

The weekly sit
Twenty minutes, Tuesday mornings, over Zoom. Two minutes of framing, fifteen minutes sitting together, three minutes to close. No experience needed — just a chair and a door you can shut. Register once and I'll send the link each week.
Email only. I send the link and a short note before each sit — nothing else.
A founder who sits
I'm Steven Zeiler. I build companies — currently Huge AI — and I've practiced Zen and yoga for two decades. I teach from both sides: the pressure of running something real, and a tradition that has spent centuries on the mind under strain.
What I teach isn't therapy and it isn't a promise. It's practice — the concrete mechanics of attention, breath, and posture — aimed at the situations you actually face: the board meeting, the layoff, the raise that's slipping, the conversation you've been avoiding.
