  • Great guests

    Edit: Ashley Madison as a sponsor? I fell off listening to the pod for a while, it used to be my go to for mental health.. tasteless.

    I sometimes wonder if I’m in the right tax bracket to be a listener of this show, lol. Even still, as a corporate millennial in middle management, some of the guests have genuinely changed the way I lead my team. Overall a great podcast that I listen to weekly.

  • Disruption / Living a Good Life

    I was waiting for them to talk about the other side of disruption, disrupting others’ efforts which seems to be a nasty reflex in the culture today born of narcissism and tolerance for hypocrisy; trashing what others have built, dismissing or questioning historical achievements or attitudes blinded by exclusively “presentist” lens.

    Also, imho - lacked a female perspective; fathers in the group epically failed to point out the most obvious disruption of anyone’s life is often having childre... more

  • New photo

    I am another long time listener who is very disturbed by the new photo. It’s as if Dan wants to be a guru, which I don’t think is true. It turns me off from the podcast overall.

  • I didn’t want to like Dan Harris.

    Just a broadcaster jumping on the meditation train trying to be cool, I thought to myself. But I eventually gave a listen, and gosh darn it, I began to authentically like this man. I still wish I didn’t like him so much, but he’s a great interviewer, I love his personality, and I always hear the questions I’m wondering about. Brings out the best in the guests, he’s just real.
