56 分钟Every once in a while somebody asks me, dude, how do you actually pay to do what you do?
How do you make money?
And the truth is, the podcast doesn't.
This is kind of a labor of love.
It's one of the things that I do because I'm a seeker and I'm always on the hunt for embodied teachers to both sit down with and learn from myself and then be able to turn around and share them, their beautiful voices, energy, and wisdom with you.
As part of that, over the years, I've had the opportunity to see so much and learn so much that it started to form into really powerful ideas and patterns.
And that came together in the form of my new book, how to live a good life.
And doing things like creating a book, programs, events and things like that, that's one of the ways that we're able to create this podcast for you.
So if it sounds interesting, if you'd be curious about diving into a single book that brings together so much of the wisdom that's been gathered on this podcast over many years and really serves as sort of an operating manual for a good life, then please go check it out.
How to live a good life.

And the elevation of human consciousness is not the quantity of how we work, it's the quality of what our purpose is.
Today's guest Radnath Swami, came up in the suburbs of Chicago in the fifties and sixties.
It was a time of pretty major civil strife, and he really suffered, seeing all the suffering around him.
Decided to go on a bit of a walkabout.
That took him on a journey into Europe, which then led him through all sorts of other countries, from Afghanistan to Iran to Nepal, where he eventually spent years as an aesthetic and found his teacher in India, where he then became a devotee of bhakti yoga, which is devotional yoga, the yoga of devotion, and has since gone back and forth for the better part of 40 plus years doing incredible acts of service, building institutions that serve more than 300,000 kids who are in need in India, and traveling the world, sharing the message of Bhakti yoga, devotion of love.
It was really wonderful having an opportunity to sit down with him, talk about not only his journey, his path, and what his practice is, and his offering is, but also how it relates to the world that we're living in today and how we can try and bring some of these ideals to experiences in a culture and a community and things that are happening in the world that are really challenging us.
So, really excited to share this conversation with you.
