It is interesting listening to these guys speak about their experiences.
Apple Podcasts5Rusty da dogUnited States6 years ago - Zen for the common person
It’s a fascinating blend of a rookie (in birding) and an expert (in martial arts) sharing simple, yet highly relatable, stories of their pursuit of the next level. Next level of a skill set? Next level of consciousness? It doesn’t matter. Their lighthearted banter and down-to-earth approach really makes you feel like you don’t have to be a monk to reach a higher level.
Their anecdotes make you feel like you’re on the adventure with them and the post-production work creates an immersive experien... more

I wager there are few other podcasts where you will hear Miyamoto Musashi quoted right before a discussion of a Burrowing Owl. These guys cover such a wide range of topics that it’s hard to categorize the program. However, if I were to try, I‘d say this podcast is about the discipline of knowing one thing, in order to know ten thousand things. I’m looking forward to the next episode!
