  • By way of Ram Dass

    I’m here by way of Ram Dass. I’m grateful to the Be Here Now network for hosting this show! Madison is an excellent interviewer who facilitates great discussions with thoughtful questions and astute insights. I‘ve saved several episodes of this podcast to reference, share, or listen to again later. I also love the connection to Ram Dass and his teachings in many of the conversations. Great job, Madison and guests!
