The competition on Netflix's The Circle US is about being popular on social media, which makes meditation teacher and digital influencer Bryant Wood a perfect addition to the cast of season 2. In the first-ever season of The Circle US, many contestants turned out to be much deeper than what their pre-conceived "archetypes" might've initially indicated. Joey Sasso proved that was much more than just a New York bachelor, Shubham Goel conquered his fear of putting himself out there on social media, and Sammie Cimarelli didn't allow anyone to just dismiss her as a great-looking party girl.
When Netflix unveiled the cast of The Circle US season 2, Bryant Wood was introduced as a meditation teacher and business owner from Chico, California. At just 27 years old, Bryant is the co-owner of a lifestyle brand known as Modern Nirvana. According to the company's description on Patreon, Bryant spearheads Modern Nirvana alongside Frank Elaridi and Kat Graham. The brand offers personalized coaching and digital content for things like health tips, meditation, breathwork, and biohacking. This brand has been so successful for Bryant that he is already followed by nearly 500,000 people on Instagram as @bryant.give.
As far as Instagram followers go, Bryant Wood is one of the most popular contestants going into The Circle US season 2. Most of his pictures and videos on IG revolve around his career as a meditation teacher. He even created a separate Instagram profile for his meditation career, @whoisbreathing, which has over 22,000 followers. But on his official account, he also shares plenty of tips, teachings, and inspirational quotes, as well as photos of himself in front of visually stunning backdrops while he enjoys nature. Bryant also promotes Modern Nirvana on a regular basis, announcing new workshops, one-on-one coaching sessions, and other related content.
During season 1 of The Circle US, Miranda Bissonnette made a huge splash not only for her interactions with Joey Sasso but also for doing yoga and meditation on a regular basis while filming the show. It can be hard for a "peace and love" individual to thrive in a competitive environment like reality TV, but considering how popular Bryant Wood has managed to become on social media, he might have cracked the code to win The Circle.
It's time for Bryant Wood to inhale, exhale, and rank a bunch of profiles from people he has just met. Hopefully, he'll have what it takes to conquer the game through mindfulness and meditation.
The Circle US season 2 airs Wednesdays on Netflix.
