And I remember going to, you know, deep playa, throwing my bike down, and just sober, getting into my body. It was like four o'clock in the morning, and I just remember closing my eyes alone. I didn't know a single person at Burning Man, except for my RV, my sister, and three friends that I went with. This is 12 years ago, before I started Daybreaker.

And I remember just being anonymous in a sea of just like strangers. And so, just the safety of being able to just practice being in my body. I remember closing my eyes and just finding myself for the first time, finding my self-expression for the first time, and crying, and just like this, like, coming home to my body, because we're so cut off, right?

We're in our head, we're not in our bodies, we need a Medicaid to be in our bodies. And so the idea was like, in that moment, it was this aha of like, oh my gosh, like, how is it that it only... can we find ourselves in these faraway festivals? How can we bring this type of return to self into the cities where we live? And so Daybreaker was really born from that kind of a social experiment.

It's our project where my co-founder, Matt Breimer, and I, he and I, you know, got together and we just said, let's try to bring that experience of a sober dance party. Oh, and then, actually, one thing I missed out was, as I was dancing, my eyes closed, crying, coming home to my body, I then blinked my eyes open and the sun was rising.

And you know what happens when the sun is rising and you're just, like, seeing and all of a sudden the whole, just the desert just lights up. And I just remember being in the most incredible awe and realizing, oh my gosh, like, we just don't dance enough in the daytime. We're always dancing at night.

And so the idea was like, okay, let's replace the, you know, let's replace all the negatives of nightlife with the positives of daylife. So let's make the dance party, let's call it Daybreaker, we'll break the day. with energy and tension in life and do it in cities where we live. So we started in New York and then it grew very quickly to San Francisco and LA and London and Paris and Chicago.

And now we're in, you know, 45 cities around the world. We're a community of a million people. And just people, I think, are just tired of going to bed. I think there's a wellness movement, right, that happened And people realize like they need sleep. Yeah. We want sleep. We want to, we want to get like sleep is such an important part of mental health.

And so let's still find a place to dance and connect with the light, with the circadian rhythms, drink green juice instead of alcohol and do it in, you know, where you can get to know yourself, come home to yourself rather than escape yourself, which so much of festival culture can be. Right? And so... It's incredible.
