Episode notes

In this episode of Habits and Hustle, I chat with Yung Pueblo, a meditator and poet, about his transformational journey from chaos to wellness, the power of authenticity, and the concept of compassionate investing. We dive into his evolution from an unknown writer to a New York Times bestselling author and the role that meditation and Vipassana, an ancient Buddhist practice, played in reshaping his life and relationships.

He shares the amplified need for authenticity in our digital age, how his writings have resonated with millions, and his association with Substack, a platform bridging the gap between content creators and their audience.
