  • Insightful

    I was originally introduced to this podcast 10 years ago and found it very much transformative. I was new to all of this kind of stuff at the time and found it easy to understand. As time past, I am really amazed by his story telling and integration of this content into his daily life. I always leave feeling a little more calm and inspired to live a more peaceful and purposeful life. This podcast is a true gift.
