The Calm Lab
Find calm before the crash.
A private peer group for entrepreneurs who are carrying more than they let on — a place to steady your head, clear the fog, and get back to leading with clarity.
Running a business means holding pressure most people never see.
The late nights. The hard calls. The quiet fear that if you slow down, it all falls apart.The Calm Lab is where you put that weight down.
A free, facilitated weekly space for entrepreneurs and business owners who need a pause — not a pitch.Inside, you’ll meet founders who know the grind from the inside out:
people who’ve led teams, raised rounds, hit walls, rebuilt.
Every Friday for an hour, we practise calm under pressure, swap insight for honesty, and leave clearer than we arrived.If you’ve been pushing through on your own, this is the room that reminds you you’re not alone.
LIMITED PLACESBecause the conversations run deep, only three new members join each month.
When you join the waiting list, you’re reserving a chance to have a short call with me — to see whether The Calm Lab is the right fit for where you are in your journey.There’s no pressure and no sales pitch — just a real conversation about what you need and what the group offers.
WHAT YOU'LL GAIN
Weekly calls that relieve pressure and restore focus.
Candid, well-held conversations that cut through surface talk.
A trusted circle of founders and owners who “get it.”
Guidance from James Wong — counsellor, rites-of-passage facilitator, and founder of The Calm Lab.
No selling. No posturing. Just clarity, connection, and growth.
