    In episode three of Grounds for Conversation, Josh and I talk about expressing ourselves on social media. How do we, in our own journeys, practice being genuine and meaningful in our interactions (both through social media and in person)? Josh is one of the most skilled people, in my opinion, at recognizing when the instagram posting and upkeep is becoming just another exercise in vanity. At my selfish request, Josh also offers a short book list - sources of knowledge that he has visited and revisited to better his mindfulness practice.If you enjoy Grounds for Conversation, are piqued by a particular segment of the conversation, or simply want to discuss any of the topics further, feel free to reach out to email provided below.The Miracle of Mindfulness by Thich Nhat HanhThe Places That Scare You by Pema ChodronThe Simple Feeling of Being by Ken WilberNothing to Grasp by Joan Tollifson (https://www.joantollifson.com/book-nothing-to-grasp.html)Breath by Breath by Larry RosenbergSelf-Compassion by Kristin Neff, Ph.D. (https://self-compassion.org/self-compassion-kristin-neff/)The Little Book of Being by Diana WinstonFully Present Diana WinstonThe Way of Effortless Mindfulness by Loch KellyWhen Breath Becomes Air by Paul KalanithiThe Daily Stoic by Ryan HolidayInstagram: @joshthecoffeepersonContact Us: Gfcpodcast@gmail.com

    In episode two of Grounds for Conversation, I dig through the archives with Armando Echeverria.  Armando is a professional golf coach, currently based in Miami, FL . In the spirit of learning something new through each conversation, we take the opportunity to study our ups and downs in the nearly 11-year relationship we share as Coach and Player. This episode is particularly reflective for me, as we deliberate on our mindfulness journeys, the competitive golf landscape for young athletes, and the rationale for opportunities gained and lost in those years. If you enjoy Grounds for Conversation, are piqued by a particular segment of the conversation, or simply want to discuss any of the topics further, feel free to reach out to email provided below.
