Episode notes

I thought we were going to dig in and force them to reveal these big dark secrets, which never the case. I think they were very cautious, you know, especially in the military because everything goes on your record. Now of course there's a big division,. There's the career ones who just will crush everybody just to get promoted and the true soldiers or airmen and women who really want to do a good job. And so yeah, there's this challenge there.

Here's a little Christmas gift for y'all. 🎄

Arjuna Ishaya is a monk, author, and meditation teacher. He started his career as an outdoor instructor in New Zealand in 2001 until he discovered meditation, and for the past 20 years, he has traveled the world teaching meditation as a tool to gain peace of mind and live a better life.

In 2018, he published his first book, "200% – An Instruction Manual for Living Fully"

Now based in North Yorkshire, UK, he currently works as a mentor, taking his vast experience and understanding of the mind to work directly with individuals looking to start or deepen their practice of meditation, awareness, and mindfulness so they can live a richer life free of doubt, fear, overwhelm, and limitation.
