From Crisis to Calling

Nolan's heart stopped at 34 during a workout.

Doctors called it a miracle he survived. But surviving wasn't enough—he needed to understand why high-performers push until they break.

That question led him deep into breathwork, somatic practices, and performance psychology. Together with his wife, Dr. Amanda Kim, PsyD, they discovered something revolutionary: True performance isn't about pushing harder. It's about coming fully alive.

Today, Nolan serves organizations from Fortune 500 companies to elite athletic programs—helping leaders reclaim their aliveness without sacrificing their edge.

His mission: Challenge the myth that success requires suffering. Show what's possible when you optimize for aliveness instead.
