  • In depth talks with compassion

    Jonathan Foust fully resonates with me, starting from the first Dharma talk I experienced with him, live at the 2015 Mindful Leadership conference. Jonathan cuts right to the chase in sharing the Dharma, with compassion to boot. Deeply thanking and bowing to Jonathan Foust.

  • 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.

    Jonathan Foust’s talks are entertaining, insightful and deeply moving. His immense knowledge and experiences combined with his gentle manner create a true gift of story telling that is incredibly powerful. He generously shares profound practices in the most thoughtful way. His ability to weave meditation or a “zen pop quiz” into his themed talks is transformational.
