Why I Started Hostage Tape
and Now Have 100,000+ Mouth Tapers
I HAD IT ALL
I had the software business doing 7 figures a year, the wife and 2 kids, the vacations, the house, the cars.
I HIT ROCK BOTTOM
Within 2 years I was divorced, living in my aunt's basement, I sold my business for a job I hated.
My wife and I stopped talking to each other.
We did curbside drop-off for the kids.
I only saw my kids half the time.
I hit rock bottom and in that moment knew I needed to change my life.
I STARTED WITH MY SLEEP
I had always been a terrible sleeper because I snored like a chainsaw.
Turns out my life was being held hostage by my poor sleep.
It was one of the reasons my marriage fell apart.
My wife slept in another bedroom for years and our intimacy eroded.
I was also too focused on my business, burnt out, out of shape, and neglecting my wife and my kids.
MOUTH TAPE...?
My life-changing moment was discovering mouth taping.
My poor sleep would no longer hold my life hostage.
I know, mouth taping sounds crazy.
MOUTH BREATHING...?
Reading James Nestor’s best-selling book Breath where they plug their nose for 10 days at Stanford Medical Center, develop sleep apnea, snoring, and dangerously low levels of blood oxygen…and then unplug their nose, mouth tape, and everything went away after a day.
The light bulb went off in my head…mouth breathing, was it really that simple.
NOSE BREATHING
Being an athlete my whole life, my coaches never taught me the amazing benefits of nasal breathing and the dangers of mouth breathing.
Sitting in my aunt's basement over 4 years ago, it all started with that one night of good sleep.
A life-changing series of good sleep that has led me here.
AMAZING SLEEP
I mouth tape every night.
I get amazing sleep.
I feel energized when I wake up.
I lost 25 pounds and got in amazing shape.
HOSTAGE TAPE
I started a new business to follow my passion and inspire other men to change their lives.
We’ve now inspired hundreds of thousands of people around the world to join the Hostage Tape army.
And to change their lives with this crazy simple little thing called mouth taping.
ONE MORE THING...
Remember how I lost my family…
After becoming the man, father, and partner I'm proud to be today.
One day on curbside drop off, my wife came up to the car and we had our first conversation in 2 years.
She invited me into her home, and I was able to see my kid's bedroom for the first time in 2 years.
We now sleep in the same bed again, and every once in a while I’ll fall asleep forgetting to put my tape on.
She’ll bump me and say, honey put your tape on.
My wife, kids and I are back together.
