From Burnout to Breakthrough: Founder Story



How One Cold Plunge Changed Everything
I was burned out, anxious, and stuck in a cycle of 12-hour workdays, caffeine crashes, and weekend escapism. My health, relationships, and energy were spiraling.
Then, I tried a 5-minute cold plunge in my DIY chest freezer. Clarity, focus, and energy hit me like a wave—but maintaining the setup was a nightmare.
So, I built something better. Using my background in mechanical engineering and cooling systems, I designed a cold plunge that was clean, low-maintenance, and portable.
It didn’t just improve my health—I quit alcohol, built a community of high-performers in San Diego, and found a new mission: helping others transform their mind, body, and life.
Every plunge isn’t just about cold water—it’s about who you’re becoming. So… Who do you want to become?”
