If you've been hearing me talk about Camp GLP, our awesome gathering of human beings at the end of August, quick note, the final early bird discount for that.
The $100 off discount expires in just a few days on June 15.
So if you want to grab your spot and make sure that you lock in the $100 off, make sure you do it by June 15.
Of course we're happy to see you there with open arms no matter what.
But but if that matters to you, I just didn't want you to miss the cutoff date.

Buddha did not teach Buddhism.
The Buddha taught a way of life.
This is not about becoming something or assuming an identity or rejecting anything else.
This is about awareness and cultivating your own awareness and living in a certain way so that you actually can be happy.
Today's guest, Sharon Salzberg, is a meditation and loving kindness teacher who founded Insight, a meditation center in Bari, Massachusetts, and also travels the world teaching people how to become aware and how to cultivate loving kindness and a whole bunch of other stuff.
She's also recently partnered with Dan Harris to help bring the world this really interesting app called 10% Happy Earning.
Dan, by the way, is also, if you recognize his name and that name, the author of a book of the same name.
And today's conversation really dives into Sharon's personal journey.
Her introduction from growing up in New York City and having a very troubled childhood to heading off to India and thinking she was going to live there for the rest of her life, but then being sent back here to plot a different course.
And also we really explore this thing called loving kindness and what it is and what it isn't and where it begins and why sometimes we don't want to actually go there.
So wide ranging, enjoyable and I think really valuable conversation.
