To create the podcast, Tonkin says he has drawn on his 30+ year background in leadership, culture and strategy consulting with more than a decade’s experience in the wellness industry. He also serves as board chair of the Salt Therapy Association and chair of the Global Wellness Institute’s Respiratory Wellness Initiative while also speaking regularly at industry conferences across wellness, fitness and hospitality.
Tonkin said: “Often when I hear or read something, I wonder ‘Is that really true?’. That desire to dig deeper and get to the bottom of something is how I got into salt therapy 12 years ago, and compelled me to launch the podcast.
“Over the years, I’ve partnered and learned from so many thought leaders in all areas of wellness that I want others to be able to have a forum where they can get the distinctions about areas of wellness that make a difference in the quality and longevity of our lives.
“When we become more informed, we make better choices.”
The first episode will launch on 6 February with the remaining episodes released every two to three weeks thereafter.
The podcast will be available on Youtube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts and Google Podcasts.
