S02E56 - Alex Kopacz - Athletic Performance and Psychedelics

🎙️ Welcome to another episode of The Mindfulness Experience Podcast. Today we have an exceptional guest joining us: Alexander Kopacz, a Canadian bobsledder and Olympic co-champion in the two-man bobsleigh event at the 2018 Winter Olympics.

But there's so much more to Alexander than his sporting achievements. He is currently the Chief Technology Officer for Step Sciences, a pioneering company that combines the science of sensorimotor stimuli and orthotics. This scientific approach to human mechanics has the potential to unlock our unique abilities and aid in the recovery and correction of imperfections in our steps.

Alexander and his team of experts have dedicated decades of their lives to reaching the highest levels of scientific understanding and application with a clear goal: improving people's quality of life. He has a keen interest in additive manufacturing, medical applications in engineering, and large-scale projects, all aligning with his enthusiasm for solving design problems through creative thinking.

We were fortunate enough to hear from Alexander at the recent Psychedelic Science 2023 MAPS Convention, where he shared his insights on the intersection of physical performance, technology, and mindfulness.

In this episode, we'll delve into Alexander's journey from Olympic gold medalist to tech innovator, explore his work at Step Sciences, and discuss how mindfulness plays a role in athletic performance and technological innovation.

Stay tuned for an enlightening conversation that bridges the worlds of sports, science, and mindfulness.
