Kevin Rainey is a certified breathwork coach, former Air Force officer, and seasoned project manager with over 20 years of experience leading programs around the world. A graduate of the U.S. Air Force Academy, he built his career in Information Technology and Communications, known for bringing camaraderie, community, and grit to every team he led.

His journey took a powerful turn during a breathwork and cold plunge session that sparked deep personal transformation. He lost weight, reversed sleep apnea, and found a natural way to manage depression. That experience inspired him to launch a coaching practice dedicated to helping others, especially men and veterans, reconnect with their bodies and strengthen their emotional resilience.

Through one-on-one coaching and group cohorts, Kevin teaches breathwork routines that support nervous system regulation, mental clarity, and long-term well-being. His mission is to teach 1 million men how to use breath to improve their lives, families, and communities.

In this episode of the SABM podcast, Scott chats with Kevin about:

  • Transformational Start: A powerful breathwork and cold plunge session helped Kevin release years of stored emotional trauma, sparking a complete personal transformation
  • Breath as Self-Empowerment: Kevin teaches techniques that help people build confidence, emotional balance, and inner peace by tapping into their body’s natural rhythm.
  • Coaching Approach: His sessions are practical and customized, focused on breathwork techniques that energize, calm, or balance, depending on client needs.
  • Community-Focused Mission Kevin’s goal is to teach 1 million men how to build daily breathwork practices, creating stronger individuals, families, and communities.
