Kris Rice: How Cold Water Taught Her to Take the Entrepreneurial Leap

EPISODE OVERVIEW Duration: Approximately 32 minutes Best For: Trapped entrepreneurs who have tried every wellness practice and still feel overwhelmed Key Outcome: Discover how one simple practice can build the confidence to make difficult decisions in business and life She had meditation, breathwork, journaling, and forest walks. Then she realised her wellness routine had become another full time job. THE BOTTOM LINE You have built something real over the years. That said, somewhere along the way, the business started running you instead of the other way around. You have probably tried the meditation apps, the morning routines, the wellness podcasts. And each one adds another hour to your already impossible schedule. Kris Rice found herself in exactly that position. A corporate marketing professional watching her daughter struggle with mental health, she built an entire toolbox of wellness practices. The thing is, maintaining them became completely unattainable alongside her actual life. Then she discovered cold water exposure and everything shifted. Within two years, she had left her corporate job and launched Chill Pod, a cold plunge company now preparing to ship its first products. The transformation was not just physical. It was the confidence to do difficult things, to trust her intuition, and to take a leap she never thought possible. WHY THIS EPISODE MATTERS TO YOU Learning one practice that builds decision making confidence, so you stop second guessing every move you make Understanding why your current wellness routine might be adding to your overwhelm instead of reducing it Discovering how AI can become a thinking partner that actually saves you time, rather than creating more complexity Recognising the cost of waiting, because every month you delay building confidence is another month trapped in the same patterns KEY INSIGHTS YOU CAN IMPLEMENT TODAY The full time job problem. If your wellness routine takes more time than you have, it becomes another source of stress. Kris built a beautiful toolbox of practices and then realised she could not fit any of them into her normal life. The thing is, one focused practice done consistently beats ten practices done occasionally. What changes when you simplify is that you actually do it. Morning leadership training reframe. Stop thinking of meditation or cold exposure as self care you cannot afford. Start thinking of it as leadership training you cannot afford to skip. Kris made this shift and suddenly twenty or thirty minutes felt like an investment rather than a luxury. Because of this reframe, the guilt disappears and the practice becomes non negotiable. The confidence transfer effect. When you do something difficult before anyone else is awake, you show yourself what you are capable of. That confidence transfers directly into business decisions. Kris took her entrepreneurial leap after two years of proving to herself in cold water that she could handle discomfort. The fear of leaving corporate did not disappear. She just had evidence she could handle fear. Trust your intuition always. Every trapped entrepreneur has a voice telling them something needs to change. That said, logic keeps overriding it. Kris says intuition does not steer you wrong, even when it does not make sense in the moment. The cost of ignoring it is staying exactly where you are. AI as a thinking partner. Most entrepreneurs resist AI because it feels like more complexity. Kris uses it to respond and refine ideas, not generate them from scratch. She describes needing something to go back and forth with, and AI provides that without requiring another human's schedule. What happens because of this is faster clarity on decisions you have been avoiding. GOLDEN QUOTES WORTH REMEMBERING "I showed myself that I could do these big, uncomfortable things, and therefore it translated to, okay, here's your opportunity. Go after it." - Kris Rice "Trust your intuition. Always trust your intuition. It is always guiding you. Even though it doesn't feel like it makes sense." - Kris Rice "That doesn't change. I don't want to get in. And I think the more we normalise that, the more that helps people too." - Kris Rice "Actually that's your morning leadership training.
