Inspiring Conversations with Jessie Freelander of Zenbase

Today we’d like to introduce you to Jessie Freelander.

Jessie Freelander

Hi Jessie, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory.
I was lucky enough to have a mother who was interested in Eastern philosophy and holistic practices. My journey with mindfulness really kicked off when I went to India in 2019 to attain my yoga teaching license. I spent a couple of months over there exploring my mind and indulging in knowledge. I began teaching yoga back in the States and was already interested in crypto from the 2018 bull run. Blending the two practices made complete sense to me, which led me to pursue the idea of crypto rewards for time spent meditating. This is how Zenbase was born. My Finance professor took a liking to me and my ability within the classroom. I pitched him the idea and he became my partner within the project. Ever since then, I have continued my practice of mindfulness yet realized I am only an infant after doing a 10-day Vipassana course (No talking, writing, or reading), which included meditating for over 8+ hours a day. Meditaiton has transofrmed my life to allow me to become the perosn I am today and have an inate drive to share this with as many people as i possibly can. Suffering is a choice. Rather, we suffer through Regret or Discipline. The question is, which one will allow us to become the person you want to be.

Zenbase is on the IOS and Google Play store. We plan to launch the ICO in the next 90 days! Our aim is to incentivize as many people as we can to listen within the present moment. Thoughts about the future induce Anxiety, and thoughts about the past induce depression, yet when one is in the present moment, there is only perfection.

Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
As any startup, Zenbase has had it’s struggles and has been forced to make certain pivots. This includes changing the business model from inception to shifting the team around. Although in total, it’s been a very educational journey.

We’ve been impressed with Zenbase, but for folks who might not be as familiar, what can you share with them about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
Zenbase is the world’s first meditation platform that rewards its users for their time spent meditating. The platform’s ecosystem includes revenue sharing with its creators, similar to YouTube. Zentoken, the currency in which users and creators will be paid, mirrors the tokenomics of Bitcoin. This includes 21,000,000 max supply, a hash rate is replaced by time spent mediating, early adopters will earn more ZENT then later adopters. The token is named Zentoken (ZENT). ZENT is also the name of our mascot. Our mascot is a purple-polled cow.

I am the acting President, taking care of just about all the operations from a management standpoint. I am most proud that we are the first in the world to introduce this technology within the meditation space.

I want all readers to know the importance of what mediation can do to one’s life.

Are there any important lessons you’ve learned that you can share with us?
All things pass.

Pain, pleasure, life, death, it all passes.

Our minds are in a loop between cravings and aversions. We rather desire to get something and desire to get rid of something, and if we can take a step back and realize that it all passes no matter what. We begin to stop reacting from our emotions and experience the present moment.
