    I had such a great experience on Men Talking Mindfulness! EJ and I (Tarah) were honored to be guests on the show.

    Their approach makes these important topics feel accessible, engaging, and genuinely enjoyable to explore. You can tell they care deeply about the work they’re doing and the impact they’re having.

Mindfulness is Everywhere — This is how to find inner purpose as a man with Former Monk Sean Fargo
Q: Sean, what created this radical shift from corporate life to the monastery and mindfulness teaching?

The One Molecule All Men Over 40 Need to Know About – Nitric Oxide, with Dr. Nathan Bryan
Q: Why does nitric oxide matter for everyday performance and aging?
