We live in a noisy world where words are cheap. “Words That Change You” is a podcast by Dr. Martin Steinbereithner, urban monk and organizational consultant. Each episode seeks to focus on a word or concept that has impacted us in the last little while. We seek to unpack it and ask how that word or concept might help us become more mindful and spiritual people.

Martin Steinbereithner, Fritz Loewe, Jakob Baer, Piroshka Kacsa
