Episode 416 - From A to Zen with Chris Bath

We explore the art of finding presence and meaning amid the fast-paced demands of modern life and share unique perspectives on how ideas around time, agency, and personal growth can be reimagined so that each of us can feel more grounded in who we are.

We ponder why our minds live in the past and future, and how simple, mindful shifts might transform the way we experience each day. New ways of thinking about self-compassion, the tension between ambition and authenticity, and those small practices that enrich our lives could be what realigns us with the present moment.

CHRIS BATH

Chris Bath is the author of AtoZen, a father, and a multifaceted leader whose background spans the fields of science, finance, and spirituality. Driven by a lifelong curiosity about the mechanics of the universe, he read Physics at Oxford University, later applying that analytical mindset to a high-stakes professional career defined by complexity and change.

Chris spent a decade in Mergers & Acquisitions at Rothschild & Co before transitioning into executive leadership. As CFO and later CEO of a family-owned healthcare business, he led a major organizational transformation that culminated in a successful sale to Goldman Sachs. In parallel to his corporate trajectory, Chris has maintained a dedicated spiritual practice for over 20 years.

A seasoned yogi currently studying to become a teacher, he created AtoZen to bridge the gap between high-pressure professional environments and mindful living. His work offers a practical toolkit for reconciling these seemingly contradictory worlds, providing a path through the demands of time and a return to the present moment.
