The Buddhist path was always fascinated me because they've carved out two paths, you know, the householder approach and the monastic path. And it's really fascinating acknowledgement of the fact that some people are going to go and spend a lot of time in solitary, remove themselves from society. Others are actually going to stay completely immersed in a civil life around them. That there, you don't actually have to step out. If you make that choice, if it's right for you, there's a way to do it. But if you also choose to be completely immersed in life as it happens in swirls around you all day, there's also a way toDo it that way.
Why is it that, so often, we need to be brought to our knees in order to wake up to, and reclaim, what really matters? And, does that have to be so? These are just a few of the questions we dive into with my guest today, Diego Perez, best known for his virtual moniker, Yung Pueblo, which is both a reminder to him to stay grounded in a younger, growth mindset, and also a contained to frame this current season of work as a project that doesn’t constrain his own personal and professional growth. Diego’s new book, Clarity & Connection, shares many of his recent insights about life, meaning, love, work, self-awareness, and of course, clarity and connection.
