About the hosts: James Beshara is a world-renowned founder and startup investor (ranked as high as the #2 global venture investor by investment platforms like AngelList) and has been invited to speak at places such as Harvard Business School, Stanford University, and The World Bank.

Joseph Emmett has been a student of Vedanta for over 25 years, teaching this “perennial philosophy” around the world, with over a decade spent at the Vedanta Academy in Malavli, India under the guidance and teaching of acclaimed Vedanta philosopher and author, Swami A. Parthasarathy.

In addition to weekly podcast episodes, the hosts, James and Joseph, also host a weekly Clubhouse conversation on Friday mornings with open Q&A (search for the ‘Yoga For Your Intellect’ club within the Clubhouse app), as well as in-person retreats in Southern California during the year.

Would you like to dive in deeper? Our reading recommendation is to dive into reading perhaps the clearest and most complete work on Vedanta of the 20th century — ‘Vedanta Treatise: The Eternities’ by A. Parthasarathy which can be found on Amazon. We also encourage you to subscribe to these conversations if you find them valuable for more weekly insights to the perennial philosophy.
