Join me for this wonderful conversation with a man who seems to have done it all. He’s backpacked around the world, been a traditional tattooist, founded companies, and he has written a fabulous book, “The Art of Conscious Communication for Thoughtful Men.”. He has studied mindfulness and awareness and brings this spirit of adventure and spiritual equanimity to every interaction. We talk about how paying attention, and making intentional decisions can shape us and the people in our world. 

 KEY TAKEAWAYS 

• We can practice our communication in the traditional sense, to share a sense of community with one another. And we can understand this as a skill, and improve on it. 
• Everything is a projection, so we can train ourselves to change our projections and therefore our perceptions – we can change our lives. 
• We can gradually change our ways of thinking over time that will enable us to curate a life closer to the one we’ve always visualized for ourselves. 
• There is a real magic to life that underwrites the scientific explanations. We can’t identify it, only experience it. 

BEST MOMENTS  

• [Do you love yourself?] “I do. This is how I feel about myself. I'm a really good man. You know, I'm kind, I'm generous, I'm loving. I care. I'm passionate. Action-taking. You know, I've brainwashed myself to love myself – literally fired the neurons so many times that they've wired together. And I believe my own hype. So, am I worthy of love? Well, philosophically, I believe we all are. But did I love myself before like this? No. So how did I change? Persistence, consistency, determination, and repetition, every day, out loud, “I am good enough, just the way I am.”” 
• “Everything I ever said or did to myself or anyone else, whether it was loving or cruel, or whatever it was, apparently, I should have done it. Why? Because I did.I can't change it. Does that mean I want to repeat the mistakes in the future? Hopefully not. Hopefully, we learn and grow and evolve, right? But everything that's happened should have. This is radical self acceptance.”
• “I certainly understand that most of what we do is subconscious. Most of what the brain does, by the way, is running this system, this body of ours that we’re completely unaware of. And I also you know, I love the practice of being more conscious, spending more time noticing – whatever it is that you can notice. And I find there's a lot of practical and functional application of that into the quality of your life.”
• “What I find fascinating is, in those glimpses of being beyond identification, beyond the ego in those glimpses, is that me?”
