I think I am safe in saying that my conversation with our guest, Aaron Waldron is one of the most unique and stimulating one I have had the honor to have. Aaron has, through their life, had a number of run-ins with parts of organized religion which, as they says, left them quite traumatized. Even so, they firmly believes in God and knows that God is in and all around us as they will tell us. In their life, they spent five years in the military. They also have spent much time searching for what they feel is their life's direction. As you will learn, they currently are pursuing a Doctorate of Ministry degree. One of the fascinating things about Aaron is that they have determined that they need to refer to themselves in the third person which they feels God is leading them to do in order that they remove more of the “I” out of their world. They will talk about their dissertation and their creation of the concept of Public Space Communities. I leave it to Aaron to explain this. I hope you find our session today as fascinating and thought provoking, as do I. It is always wonderful to learn about different points of view and how we should explore integrating them into our own thought processes. About the Guest: My name is Aaron Waldron; we are a 36-year-old religiously traumatized Theopoet: a Shaman in Journey. Our pronouns are they, their and them. We do not identify in the singular first-person pronoun (I), but instead, we identify as a collective third person pronoun (we). As a we continue to develop into a Path-Maker trekking unfollowable paths that take us on a Journey towards Self; we are currently in a doctoral process at the New York Theological Seminary seeking to develop spaces between larger spaces that offers community for religiously traumatized people and study a complicated form of suffering called, "religious trauma." It's my own religious trauma that inspires me to empathize and study religious trauma among humans in the 21st century. We seek to understand our Self through suffering entangled in religious trauma. We were born and raised under a Full Balsamic Moon (Often relied upon as a source for inspiration and energy) in Brooklyn, New York on March 15th (My Zodiac is Pisces) in the year 1987 C.E.; surviving the NYC shelter systems since we could walk with our Mother and younger brother. We have experienced religious trauma all our life. My Mother, a primal relationship embodying the Mother archetype, was colonized by a hateful religion (colonized Christianity) that forced her to be an extension of an invisible oppressor. We grew up hearing things like: "Aaron, I am your Mother and God commands you to obey me." We typically were punished by reading the Bible in my underwear while kneeling on rice with my face in a corner. Barriers of religious hatred prevented me from being my natural Self. Living under this imprisonment and oppression caused me to develop suicidal thoughts while attending the High School of Art & Design. After attempting and failing twice, we settled to venture into college with the support and encouragement of our Nana. During my first year at college, my girlfriend at the time was pregnant; we decided to drop out of college and joined the Army to provide for my beautiful daughter Serenity. During the time the "9/11 Attacks" made joining the military very enticing and patriotic. After serving about five years (2007-2012) and deploying to Iraq in 2010 for a year; we closed that chapter of our life and transitioned back into civilian life in 2012. We were homeless for a while, living in our car and going to school. It was an interesting time in my life, the friends we made got us through some dark times and we are eternally grateful. Ended up in Atlanta, GA helping homeless veterans get housing and employment as a "case manager and recruiter." We loved helping people who were in situations we have been in- we were able to empathize in ways others couldn't at the time. One day we experienced a Theophany (encounter with God in Dream) and we felt that God wanted us to know more about what God is or can be. So, we travelled back to NYC and enrolled in The New York Theological Seminary. We started with their certificate program and found our Self boldly stepping forward to enroll in the Master of Divinity program (M.Div.-a 4-year degree at the time) with a few college credits but no degree yet. During my spiritual and religious journey to find meaning in God and my Self, we married our Life Partner, Yesenia Fernandez, met my kindred spirit, Rev. Lopez-Joel Dautruche and started to understand what love is and how to love my Self. The idea of God transformed in indescribable ways; we felt called or pulled to study in NYTS's Multi-Faith D.Min. program. My dissertation is a large part of my life, it's an expression of what we are feeling and thinking, as well as what we have experienced. We wept uncontrollably in the first semester after realizing we must authentically commit our Self to this Journey. It was the first time in my life that we didn't feel scared anymore to be our Self. By boldly stepping forward and developing this "unstoppable mindset" we call: "a Path-Maker." All of our life's suffering and trauma to include religious trauma has brought us to this moment in existence and we feel deeply humbled- If not for God emerging within me, we wouldn't have stepped off-path to pave our own unfollowable path.

And, I want to welcome you to unstoppable mindset. You know, on unstoppable mindset, we get to talk to all sorts of people who have many, many different kinds of life journeys. And as I tell people, my most important goal on unstoppable mindset is to show every one of us who is listening and participating that we can be more unstoppable than we think we can. And unStopability is something that is different for everyone in the world. It's not the same necessarily for you or for me, or for our guest, Aaron Waldron today who comes to us, he describes himself as a shaman in Journey, religiously traumatized, I'm interested to hear about those things. And from talking with him a little bit before I know he's got a really interesting story to tell. And I want to get to it, I'm anxious to to hear it and to have a good conversation with with with him. So Aaron, welcome to unstoppable mindset. How are you? **Aaron Waldron ** 02:20 Thank you for having me, Michael, really appreciate it. **Michael Hingson ** 02:23 Well, why don't we if we could, at least a little bit. Why don't we start out with you talking maybe a little about the the early era and you know, growing up or some of those things and give us a little bit of idea of things that maybe helped shape the way you are today and so on? Definitely. **Aaron Waldron ** 02:41 Well, we started, we were raised in New York, New York City. **Michael Hingson ** 02:46 Let me let me interrupt if there's one thing I want you all to understand. Aaron speaks in the third person. I should have said that. I apologize. And he'll probably explain more about that. But I just want you to understand that that is what he's doing. So I'm sorry, Aaron. So you so born in New York City? **Aaron Waldron ** 03:04 Yes. We were born in New York City, Brooklyn, New York. And we were pretty much poor, our childhood, living along shelter systems, living off public assistance and whatnot. So it wasn't until after high school that, you know, my life started to expand outside of New York. And I joined, we joined the military. We joined the army specifically. And when did you get out of just that was in 2007. Okay. And that was out of, you know, trying to provide a better life for my child at the time, my daughter, and just climb out of the hole that we were in, you know. So yeah, we did have military service five years one tour to Iraq. And that was in 2010. And then we left the military in 2012. March, and started trying to acclimate back into the civilian world since 2013, really, but we found ourselves drawn to the nonprofit, you know, just trying to help people. And so we ended up helping homeless vets find employment and housing down in Atlanta. And that was a really interesting experience for me. It really helped me deal with my own PTSD and my own mental health issues, you know, struggling with memories, loss of people, things ideas, lack of money, support, you know, just really in a bad place mentally Lean, but, you know, this inner perseverance, you know, just push this through to become a different, better person. **Michael Hingson ** 05:11 What was it like coming back from the military coming back from Iraq and the military in general and then integrating in? I've never really had many discussions with people about that. But I I'm sure that it must have been an is a challenge for anyone, because you're going from one kind of a culture that you became engrossed in when you join the military to now a culture that maybe you were used to before, but it's, I would think, sort of totally foreign, because it's not what you did for a number of years. Your case fives. **Aaron Waldron ** 05:49 Yeah, you're right. It was a completely it was like acclimating to a language that you have forgotten. You know, in the civilian world, there's a language, a way of understanding things, a way of operating and living and existing. But in the military, you know, it's centered around these three concepts, right place, right time, right, uniform. And so it really makes life different, it makes it simpler from a soldiers perspective. You know, if you focus on those three things, you'll exceed and be successful, you know, mission accomplished. But when you come to the civilian world, it becomes so much complex, more complex, because you know, you can wear the right uniform be at the right place at the right time. But you're still not enough. **Michael Hingson ** 06:41 And a lot of people, and a lot of other people aren't necessarily in the same place that you are. **Aaron Waldron ** 06:49 Right? Exactly. Statistically, most people, veterans don't really do well, when they have to acclimate back into society, because it's just, we're not accepted, there's no space. For us, there's no bridge in between what you did to serve your country as a skill as a job. And then crossing it over to something you can do in the civilian world that's not so focused on violence or bringing about violence. You know, there's a lot of great organizational skills that we develop leadership skills. This is something that most civilians lack the ability to work well with others, you know, and then it becomes a strong suit, when you come through the military, even at the basic training. So **Michael Hingson ** 07:40 it's a lot to get used to, needless to say, yeah, yeah. Like, what, how to? I'm sure you've thought about this? What can we do societally to change that so that people who are here become more accepting or more understanding? Or? Or maybe it's that there needs to be done more than the military? But how do we deal with that? Because it certainly shouldn't be that way. It's got to be pretty traumatic, all the way around. And **Aaron Waldron ** 08:13 definitely, you know, that's, that's, that's tough, because, from my opinion, these initiatives to help bridge veterans into society should come from the same population. You know, it shouldn't be led by veterans. You know, we have programs or initiatives that are spearheaded by civilians with no experience, then it comes off a little insensitive, and it doesn't consider the many complexities that a veteran is aware of, and is dealing with. So there's, you know, a dis attachment, a disconnection, you know, so when we go to the VA, and we're talking to the civilians that are just trying to do their job, they're not fully understanding what we're dealing with. And so it should be more vets, you know, becoming like peer support specialists or, you know, things of that nature. There should be opportunities for vets to come back and help mentor other events and help in that way. But yeah, that's just my two cents. But I definitely believe it's a very complex situation, and there's no easy solution. **Michael Hingson ** 09:26 Do you think any of that is changing and more bets are becoming involved in various ways? Yes **Aaron Waldron ** 09:31 and no. Yes and no. Like there's opportunities for vets to start businesses, yes. But the lack of training and no house is not there. The guidance, you know, a lot of vets are dealing with trauma, you know, physically and mentally and even to the extent of religiously and spiritually, and it's preventing them from having a successful wholesome life. You know, a lot of them are dealing and struggling on a daily basis with regret. Thoughts of loss, thoughts of not having, you know, **Michael Hingson ** 10:13 and thoughts of the things that they had to face when they were in the military and possibly overseas. Dealing with operations? **Aaron Waldron ** 10:22 Yeah, exactly. Yeah. So **Michael Hingson ** 10:24 it's kind of no fun. Well, so you did come back in to the, to society. And you're, you're working to make your way. And you've been doing that for what now? 10 years? But what what's it been like? Or maybe I should ask a different question. What have you been doing? And and what is it evolved to for you? **Aaron Waldron ** 10:49 Yeah, that last 10 years have been indescribable. We had a very divine moment, as a dream. And in this dream, we felt and believed that we had an interaction with God, and gave us a message to come seek and find God, no God more. And in our life, at the time, we were struggling with the understanding of God, we were in religion. And we were asking a lot of questions to the local pastors. And a lot of these questions ended up going to places like, well, you just have to eventually you just have faith, you know, or it was you shouldn't question God so much, you know, things like that. So having this dream kind of felt like it was empowerment from God, the universe, the greater that created us, you know, like, saying, Come find me, We're not hiding from you, you know, like, come get to me. And so the come getting to know me, led to us going to seminary, of all places, we've been to college a few times, but never completed our degree, and then found ourselves with a couple of college credits applying to the masters of divinity at New York Theological Seminary, and getting accepted. That was really a big one for us, because it was just like, on paper, it looked like a no brainer, this person should not come in maybe because they don't like they lack credentials, or whatever. But honestly, through the grace of God, it just, we were accepted to the interview. And we were on probation, academic probation for about a year. And we demonstrated that, you know, we could exceed maintaining above 80%. And we kept going, you know, and as we Interesting enough, we thought we were going to become more Christian, like, you know, and get into that. We even was attempting to become a reverend, and go through ordination. And even that process was very traumatic for us. And we were surrounded by insensitive peers that just didn't see that something was wrong, something didn't feel right with Aaron. And for a lot of other people, too. It wasn't just Aaron. And before you know it, we had to just listen to this voice inside of us that said, maybe this is not your path. Maybe you're not intended to go down this road. You know, it's not saying that it's a bad road. It's just saying, maybe it's not for you. And from that moment, we've just been constantly having this organic conversation with an inner source that we believe is God, you know, guiding us, counseling us, you know, the spirit, you can call it, and being led by the Spirit has transformed us in indescribable ways that we never imagined to be a shaman and journey. It just came about. **Michael Hingson ** 13:58 Tell me more about that. What does that mean being a shaman and journey? So you would please? **Aaron Waldron ** 14:04 Yeah, of course, there's a lot of different definitions or descriptions of a shaman around the world. Typically, they are holy, sacred people. People that traverse the physical and the spiritual side of life. But there's also a definition of shamanism or shamans. That applies to everybody, everyone's a shaman. But to acknowledge yourself as a shaman is to acknowledge that you are on a pursuit of a higher version of yourself, you're awaken to a certain degree, you see things differently, and you're not looking to follow so much, but to really embody this natural leader, you know, and we give description to this as a path maker, which can be anybody regardless of your ethnicity, your gender. You know, anything like every human has the capability of, you know, making their own path. So ultimately, you know to be a shaman is just to be that it doesn't require you to have magical powers or you don't necessarily have to be born from a certain tribe. Again, these are all traditional views, yes, and they're all respected, but they're not absolute. And to be a shaman is to also step into nothing is absolute, is to accept the in differences in the world to, to see that other is you and you are other. And I see that, you know, it's about your ego, and it's about you and to be a shaman is to step into a higher state of consciousness. **Michael Hingson ** 15:46 So you do you kind of think if I want to ask this, I guess well, I'll just ask. So where do you fit what you do or believe into the world of what a lot of people face here in this country? Which is Christianity? Do you reject Christianity? Is that a just a different path? Or what? **Aaron Waldron ** 16:16 No, yeah, thank you for that question. Reject is not something that we're doing. That's not the way to describe it. But we've been able to step out of this field poetic for walls of religion, and see that there's the many that are trying to describe God are all right, and all wrong at the same time. And so being that America is a Christian hegemony, and is predominantly dominated by Christian values and beliefs, the belief that there's one God, one savior, it falls into this absolute idea. And that's where it gets dangerous, because then you have people that believe they have to forcefully convert others to save their soul, by any means necessary. And we have data that demonstrates how you know, religious conversions around the world have also demonstrated killing people. These are not just harmless acts, these are violent acts to force people to belief systems, that they believe they're doing God's work by saving this person's soul by converting them into something that is not natural to them. And so that's just like burning down the Amazon, it's equivalent, you know, when we go around with our beliefs, and Christianity has been doing this around the world, historically. So this is nothing new. It's just we believe we're in a time where we can start articulating and understanding that Christianity is not the one sole religion, that's the saving grace of the world, and all existence. It's a very strong popular religion, but it has been hurting people along the way. And we cannot, you know, continue to overlook that. And so with that, we stepped out or stepped from that step outside that space of Christianity, and religion, for that matter, to help people that are navigating how to pursue God outside of these common strong religious avenues of belief and traditions. **Michael Hingson ** 18:36 So you got a master's degree in divinity and you're now working on a PhD? How does the the school the college where you are fit in to your beliefs? Or how do people their receive you and your thoughts? Interesting **Aaron Waldron ** 18:54 enough, Aaron is received with love and acceptance, because people that know me know, we're not a violent activists. We just are an advocate of our experiences. And it just so happens that there's hundreds of 1000s of other people that experienced similar things, such as this idea of religious trauma, and the effects of it and how it affects us in forming our identity, navigating the world, understanding who we are connecting with the thing, the thing that we can't see or describe, you know, this, this idea of God, you know, so it's kind of if you think about it, we're rethinking church beyond church, creating spaces for people to gather and still feel welcomed and feel encouraged to pursue God, outside of religion in their own ways. So yeah, that's all we're really doing is being a path maker embodying this idea that we're paving a path that others can learn from and see that you can do it too. **Michael Hingson ** 20:15 And that, I guess, is why I asked the question, because the I'm sure that the perception of a lot of people is that schools of divinity, like that are just Christian oriented. And the reality is, they're not they're God oriented, which is very possibly a whole different thing. Yes. And it's so important. Go ahead. Go ahead. **Aaron Waldron ** 20:39 No, I was just gonna say, especially because the seminary is one of few seminaries in America that have a multi phase program at a doctoral level. **Michael Hingson ** 20:52 And so classifying is always tough. What would you be classified as then in that multifaith program? **Aaron Waldron ** 21:00 I guess using their grouping terms would be falling along the spiritualist. Okay, track. Okay. **Michael Hingson ** 21:10 Yeah. Cool. Well, you know, again, I think, personally, that it's all about God. And, and you can talk about Jesus, you can talk about any nun, any number of things, but it's still ultimately in Jesus would would say in the Bible, that it's really all about God. And as he's pointed out, I am my father are one and so are all of you. So it really is, or ought to be viewed. In the same way, unfortunately, we, we do tend to become very limited at times and what we do, which is something that that then tends to create a lot of the separations that, that we face. It's true. So what's your PhD thesis on? For clarity, it's **Aaron Waldron ** 22:05 not a PhD, but it's a demon. But my, it's a dissertation, my dissertation is on, or called, between space. And the idea is to create spaces in between larger structures of spaces, such as religions, to allow people to gather and develop, share, and to be heard, by being listened to. So we created a digital community. And this digital community for the last eight months has been thriving slowly, really drawing people that are interested in developing themselves outside of religion, people that have been hurt by religion, and are trying to navigate and figure out what part of that that hurt belongs to God, and what part of that hurt belongs to humans, decisions or choices, or immaturity. So this space allows that to happen. We also have a teaching space that we use films, it's called between film, it's an artistic field poetic approach to helping us navigate and understand a lot of different complicated spiritual mental ideas, you know, such as the self, the shadow, the development of self through a hero's journey. Community, what can that look like a meta spiritual community. So we been looking over films and talking over them, they're pretty cool. And it's really great, because a lot of people get intimidated by books. And so with this kind of teaching approach, people are just jumping in, they're like, Oh, I saw that movie, or we watched the clip, and then we talk about it. And it's more inviting, you know, there's no gap, thinking. There's a lot of people thinking that, you know, they gotta read a lot to be smart, but we're naturally very highly intelligent as humans. And, you know, we spend a lot of our early upbringing not being cultivated, but being conditioned. And so this approach also is trying to help people recondition their minds and kind of decolonize their minds so that they can go about identifying themselves identifying with spirituality, they want to formulate and use for their own well being without tarnishing them and putting them down and telling them what to do. **Michael Hingson ** 24:39 Yeah, I guess I said PhD I should have probably said Doctorate of divinity is that correct? **Aaron Waldron ** 24:46 Doctor of Ministry doctor and Dr. Ministry, okay. **Michael Hingson ** 24:49 Okay. Anyway. Okay, well, good to have the right terminology. But so that is what the public space community is about. out the things that you're talking about **Aaron Waldron ** 25:03 is rotation. Yeah. So did **Michael Hingson ** 25:05 is this a concept that you created? Or was this something that was already around? And you are, you're studying it more? Did you create it? As I say? **Aaron Waldron ** 25:15 No, yeah, we started it actually. And it's based out of our own experiences and traumas. So we went about this idea of formulating a community and space that was hyper focused on the digital. So we meet through zoom, or some form of digital meetup. And it also allows us to not focus on the physical gathering. And there's a lot of complications that come with the physical gathering, as you well know, you know, with even disability. And if you have a congregation that is physically disabled, and you're in a physical church, and they're arguing over physical space, that's something that we alleviated by just focusing on the digital space, so that we could really focus on our thoughts, our spirits, the spiritual aspects energy, not what we look like at the time, or what we're dressed like, or where we're sitting or traffic and stuff like that. So we really wanted to focus on digital community. And most of the car, the community members are millennials. So they're very busy. And there was another thing, it was hard for them to physically meet. But if we did a digital meet, it was easier for everyone to manage. So **Michael Hingson ** 26:39 it's, it's interesting, maybe, maybe it shouldn't be considered so fascinating. Well, what do you think more? Or most of the people are millennials? **Aaron Waldron ** 26:48 Oh, yeah, that is an interesting part of my research was trying to understand that very same inquiry, why millennials, and it just so happened that over the last decade, the series of events, historical events have kind of shaped and pushed this particular group of people sad are in a particular age range that we classify as millennials to respond to religion in a particular way, we started to see a huge increase a significant increase, and people leaving the church, and a lot of those leaving people leaving the church were millenniums. And you have the age group that's older than them. They're their parents and their grandparents that have a sense of loyalty to their church. But Millennials tend to have this, this thing going on, where they're questioning things, and they're sensitive to things. And so they say, most millennials are just saying, you know, I don't feel comfortable in church anymore. And you know, there's this guilt from past generations that say, well, you're supposed to do this you should be doing is, it's the right thing to do. And so we see in this particular age group, millennials, that they're deciding to think for themselves alone, a lot of critical thinking, is taking off. And then you see in their children, Gen Z, you see this even more, you know, but my research is focused on millennials. But hopefully in the near future, we can extend to start studying and understanding the effects of Gen Z, our children, millennials, children's children. It **Michael Hingson ** 28:34 is it is interesting to see what's happening. And I've heard and seen in a number of things that I have read that millennials and now Gen Z are people who are searching, and are willing to expand their minds and look at alternatives, which is something that hopefully will take them down some paths that will also help them deal with some of our more materialistic things in our world a little bit differently than people in the past have done as well. But I think we'll have to wait and see where that goes. So do you think that if if people understood it, if Millennials understood it, they would say that they have suffered a lot from religious trauma? You've you've used that term a bunch times I'd love to learn a little bit more about what what you mean by that, but and also then asked answering that question, have you think that's what they would say as well as that? It's a lot about religious trauma. **Aaron Waldron ** 29:43 Yes, exactly. Yes, we would, because we started seeing that most people don't even make connections that they have religious trauma. So we started to view it as something like a cancer and we're unaware that we have as cancer, and it's spreading through our body, and it's affecting our body and hid in mysterious ways, because we don't even know what's there. And so the same thing could be said about religious trauma because one person could say, well, I don't agree, from my perspective that I have religious trauma. I don't think religion hurt me, but the people hurt me. And so it's maybe not the belief system, but it's the people upholding the belief system that can hurt you. And we still fall in that category of religious trauma. Because the structure Institute or practices is genuinely what is hurting you. And when it hurts you in a way that you cannot operate in a wholesome manner, you cannot be yourself, naturally the way God made you, that you have to conform, pretend. And you now find yourself feeling depressed, forced, obligated, guilted, even to partake in uphold traditions, practices, and beliefs. You're in the category of experiencing and struggling with religious trauma. Interesting **Michael Hingson ** 31:14 concept that you make me think about. So you make a huge distinction between the beliefs, let's say, for example, in Christianity, but the actual beliefs, or teachings of the Church, as opposed to the people and what they're doing in the church. Am I gathering that correctly? **Aaron Waldron ** 31:39 Yes, yes. **Michael Hingson ** 31:42 And so it isn't the, for example, Christianity, beliefs, or the basic precepts of the religion, or the the Jewish religion, or Muslim religion, or Buddha, and so on. But it's how people deal with a deal with them, which is a whole different animal. **Aaron Waldron ** 32:03 Yes, it's how we wear it. It's how we're taught it. It's how we embody it and practice it exactly. Right. So like, in my training, during the masters of divinity, studying the four Gospels, studying the first and second testament, really starting to learn how to exer G texts and understand what God is saying in the text versus what man has said it said, or has interpreted way. And so that's where we have the whole, you know, corruption taking place. You know, the Gospels are inspired by God, no doubt, but how we used it, how we taught it, and how we continuously practice it, is what's been corrupted and poisoned. **Michael Hingson ** 32:49 You know, one of the things that I think about often is one of Jesus's statements, I am the Way the Truth and the light. And people say, well, because he says that, clearly, he's the only one to follow. But looking at my, from my perspective, when I think about that, I go back to Exodus where God said, I Am that I Am, thou shall say, I am has sent me to you. And that Jesus, the statement really IS GOD IS the WAY the TRUTH and the LIFE, then that I am isn't necessarily dealing with Jesus alone as the person. Because the other thing that Jesus says is, of course, he has God. And as we all are, **Aaron Waldron ** 33:36 yes, yeah, exactly. Right. That's what we were speaking about, like the way we interpret these texts. And a lot of times we use literal interpretations. And we read the text and only what it says literally, when a lot of what is in the Bible, those 66 books are selected, but they're very poetic. They're meant to mean larger things, not specifically one thing, you know, so like, when we have a lot of Christians that hyper focus on literal understandings of the Bible, that is where we get, you know, these kind of teachings that really trap people to believe in one way. But like you're saying, and like we said, in the past, there's nothing wrong with the Bible, per se, because there's a lot of truth, even in the gospels when Jesus when Yeshua is recorded, speaking, that that's not like, that applies to everything and everyone and we've also seen through multifaith studies that these things overlap like Buddha overlaps Jesus and so on. And so they're saying same things just in different ways or different perspectives, the audience that they are speaking Eating. **Michael Hingson ** 35:02 Yeah. Which makes a lot of sense. And I know that there going to be a lot of people who disagree with that. But nevertheless, it does make a lot of sense to consider the whole rather than just individual parts. Because the other part about the Bible is taking any one small thing out of context is a very dangerous thing. And way too many people do that. Yes, **Aaron Waldron ** 35:29 yeah. **Michael Hingson ** 35:30 So talking about you a little bit more. So you said you had a daughter that you wanted to care for when you went into the military? And so what happened with all of that? Do you still is that your daughter that you deal with still? Or because I think I read in your biography that you You married a different person? **Aaron Waldron ** 35:52 Yes, yeah. Right now, my, my relationship with my daughter is very distant. And we've in our own life had to come to terms with certain things, because of what stories or what perspectives have been told to her. You know, it's, it's like this micro to the macro. The fighting of the narratives, and fighting over truth and lies. But in the military was very hard for me will be around my daughter, work at me away. So a lot of my love, language came out of gifts, you know, sending her gifts, things of that nature, but we didn't get really the relationship that we kind of dreamed of, you know, it just hasn't been able to happen yet. And so she lives with her mom. And, you know, she, she's happy. And I, we don't want to take that away from her. But we do prepare in our mind and our spirit that one day if we do get to spend time with her at a closer capacity that we're prepared to, to be, you know, demonstrating love, and not all this regret or anger or something. So **Michael Hingson ** 37:14 yeah. Well, anger and hatred and so on doesn't really benefit anyone. I had the opportunity to read a book by Henry Drummond. Have you heard of him? **Aaron Waldron ** 37:31 I don't believe he's British **Michael Hingson ** 37:33 from the 1800s. And he wrote a book, it's a very short book, really simple and easy to read. And it's called Love is the greatest thing in the world. And it is all about love. And actually, the version that I got from Audible also has other addresses of his in it. But it's, I think, a very fascinating book and puts a lot about loving into perspective in a very simple way. And he, he talks about love in terms of the Bible. And he talks about faith, hope and love. And the greatest of these is love, which is something that John talks about a great deal and think Paul does, but Drummond mainly refers to John, but I thought it was a really interesting and a good book. I discovered it a couple of months ago, and I've enjoyed reading it several times. So I hope that you do get an opportunity to spend time with her. But you've gotten married since then. Yes, **Aaron Waldron ** 38:34 yes, happily married. And honestly, this marriage, this relationship has allowed me to start loving myself, or understanding what that even looks like, my past relationship, it was hard for me to even understand what that even looks like loving myself because we were so caught up in pleasing others that we were trying to exterior, you know, a love outward, you know, kind of thing. And so with this relationship, we're loving inward, and it just keeps bouncing out even more. So we get to love more than we could possibly imagine just by loving more of ourselves. So yeah, this was definitely something that we did not expect. But again, it felt spirit led and so we follow that path. And we've been happily in love since. **Michael Hingson ** 39:36 How long have you been married? **Aaron Waldron ** 39:39 Coming on seven years now. **Michael Hingson ** 39:41 Oh my gosh, congratulations. Even though even though I was married for 40 years before my wife passed last November, You're newlyweds but still congratulations. Anyway. Seven years is a is a feat compared to a lot of things we read in the papers about marriages and divorces. So I'm glad it's working out well for you. **Aaron Waldron ** 40:01 Thank you. Thank you. **Michael Hingson ** 40:03 So as you analyze yourself and so on, what would you say motivates you? Yeah. **Aaron Waldron ** 40:08 People, honestly, people, people persevering through challenges motivates me deeply. When we found ourselves in some real depressed times, we would listen and watch like things like Arnold Schwarzenegger talking about pumping iron, or Les Brown talking about his motivational encouragement. So these motivational speakers and their perseverance, they survive challenges and became better for that's the kind of stuff that really motivates me, you're **Michael Hingson ** 40:44 going to, at some point, work on being more of a visible, motivational or public speaker or that kind of one of the paths you want to take, or which way do you want to go once you get your Doctor of Ministry? Well, **Aaron Waldron ** 40:57 honestly, after that, we definitely want to continue schooling, we want to pursue the psychology track, become a therapist one day, and possibly even become a young in and out hours. But we definitely want to help people to a large capacity, we have skills and gifts that we're starting to really recognize about ourselves, that we believe will make us a very crucial asset in the field of psychology, therapy, and even spirituality. So continuing to inspire people, motivate people, empower people, is definitely something of a cornerstone. And we will continuously do. **Michael Hingson ** 41:48 If I may, I think you and I talked about it before, but I'd like to ask if it's okay. Why is it that you decided to speak of yourself in the third person as opposed to an AI in me? Yeah, **Aaron Waldron ** 42:02 great question. Thank you. It was really out of a spiritual understanding something for us. When we were halfway through our masters of divinity, there was something taking place spiritually inside of us that kind of awakened us or opened our eyes to see that we are not an individual, by any means we're all interconnected. And so we're basically part of a bigger collective. And the we is a constant reminder that Aaron is not alone is not one person. But Aaron is part of many, a collection of, of other human beings, other living beings, other conscious beings, other spiritual beings. When we dove deeper into our meditation practices, we started to realize that we are not alone in the universe, we're not alone in anything, it's, we're so connected to everything and everything is so close to us, we can't even imagine it. It's not until we start really focusing on connecting with everything around us that we start to see that there couldn't be possibly an eye. So we took it upon ourselves to embody that by changing our code our pronoun to a third person, and still the constant struggle or practice and sometimes we slip up and say I, because most of our life, we've been conditioned to speak in first person and refer to ourselves and I, and be an individual. So this is only been a few years since we've been practicing this. So we're still kind of young and new to it. But it's a pursuit that we feel that it's a discipline of ours. And we continuously strive to remind others that Aaron is not an individual, but part of a collective. **Michael Hingson ** 44:09 Do you find or are you finding that other people have or are adopting that same concept? **Aaron Waldron ** 44:17 Yes, it is not that strange. And that actually made me feel a lot better about it. A few years ago, we started to see that a lot of people started thinking like this and started practicing this. It makes it a little bit more complicated with socializing with people, but it just takes practice like anything. **Michael Hingson ** 44:39 Well, yeah. My immediate reaction is, nevertheless we ought to all be accepting of what we choose to do. There's no reason that anyone should have a problem with the Wii, as opposed to the I. I mean, in England, we used to hear about the royal we all all the time, and we still do, whether it's a custom or whatever. So it's it isn't new. Sure. But it is it is something that we should learn to accept. And and if if that is what someone chooses to do, especially since there's clearly a good rationale for it, then no magic there is no, what is your biggest fear in the world, or anywhere? **Aaron Waldron ** 45:32 My biggest fear is that we cannot be ourself. Honestly. It used to be, we were afraid to be alone. And that actually transformed over the years, over the last, like five years, we used to have a very deep fear since we were a child of just being alone, because we were abandoned in our childhood and suffered with abandonment multiple times to our life, leading into our young adulthood. And so recently, our fear has transformed from that, too, that we're afraid to not be ourselves. Because we started seeing that the more we were being ourselves, the more we were being rejected by, you know, people in places and spaces, and ideas. And so this fear started, like really erupting inside of us of not being accepted or understood, because we were being ourselves. And so we have this fear of having to conform so that people can understand or accept us. **Michael Hingson ** 46:43 So what do you do about that? **Aaron Waldron ** 46:47 A lot of meditation. Even even before coming on here, it's not that we were afraid of you, or the concept of the podcast or being interviewed. It's just we have these deep, unresolved anxiety sometimes of the public speaking or engaging with people. And this probably even speaks to your comment about do we see ourselves becoming a more public figure and encouraging people and writing it's, it's hard, it's challenging, and we're in the process of trying to overcome that, to be a better person so that we can be a better, stronger public figure. But we're just not there yet. Because we have so many things we need to still work on inside of ourselves. So that we can respond in a healthier way, and not respond from our hurt and pain and ignorance. **Michael Hingson ** 47:45 Well, I hope, and I don't think I'm reading into it. But I hope that you found that as we're talking here. You're you're feeling more comfortable, more relaxed, you sound more relaxed. **Aaron Waldron ** 47:59 Yeah, of course, you make it a very relaxing. Yeah, of course. **Michael Hingson ** 48:05 Well, the only thing I know is in about 12 or 13 minutes, I'm going to have to go feed a dog or I will be devoured before your very eyes. Now we're, we're good. He's over here asleep. He's in talks about love. I've always believed that dogs love unconditionally, and we could learn a lot from them. Now, I've also said that dogs don't trust unconditionally, but they're open to trust. And I think it's something that we we all need to learn is that we should be more open to trust, and we should be more open to accepting people. Dogs don't have hidden agendas, like people tend to do, or like we suspect people tend to do, which is, which is a problem. And so we we locked down our innate desire to possibly trust someone we've been taught not to do that. And that's so unfortunate. It seems to me in society, we should really both be more willing to earn trust, and have our trust earned than we do. And I hope that with the millennials and Gen Z, we'll start to see more of that coming through. **Aaron Waldron ** 49:14 And we do too. And we have high hopes. Because a lot of people are beginning to really think for themselves and question. So, you know, there's there's hope for humanity. **Michael Hingson ** 49:28 And there's nothing wrong with questioning. There's nothing wrong with asking. Right? And exploring. Yeah, **Aaron Waldron ** 49:35 yeah. Yeah. Because even when we would talk among our divinity peers, MDiv peers, we would speak about, you know, this very same concept, you know, and there really shouldn't be a hierarchy to it. We're all in the pursuit of understanding God, describing God I'd like, there should be no competition, we should all be learning from one another. And all my peers have all been critical thinkers, you know, even a lot of them still are Christian. And we get along just fine, because we understand that Aaron doesn't have to say it the way that someone said it. You know, we're both talking about love. We're describing love, God being that ultimate love, power, or energy. **Michael Hingson ** 50:32 And even more than describing it as living it. And that's, I think what it ultimately has to come down to that we, we make the decisions, and then whether we say it in different ways. Love is a is a concept that I think we all can truly understand. And then live by, no matter how we describe it, it's still the same thing to do it. **Aaron Waldron ** 50:57 Yeah, we all need it to, we do all need it. Yeah, regardless of your wealth, or what you think is wealth, we all require love, we all require air, you know, we all require these human things. So that's why with us, you know, we see beyond certain labels and social constructs, like racism and race and, and see like, you know, we're all humans, why are we killing each other over these, these things that we're describing, that you say make us different, but we're not really different. So even our choosing of a third person pronoun could also be interpreted as an advocacy for a united space, like we're all connected, you know, for me to hate you is to hate myself, to hurt us to hurt me. You know, and we've been doing this forever. Now. Aaron Waldron is not the first to even talk about this. You know, this has been going on for a long time. It's just we need more people to listen. Check **Michael Hingson ** 52:00 out Henry Drummonds book, you'll see a lot of those same comments made in this, this book by this well known philosopher and theologian, think you would like it. **Aaron Waldron ** 52:14 Awesome. Thank you. Well, now, **Michael Hingson ** 52:17 yeah, love the greatest thing in the world. So here's a off the wall sort of question. Do you think that someone or at some point, people will decide that your beliefs and so on are just another religion? Does that make sense? I'm not sure. But it's an **Aaron Waldron ** 52:39 it is a very interesting question, a very dangerous question two, something that we had to ask ourselves along this process. Interesting enough, when developing a community when developing a rubric to teach people, the first thing we have to ask ourselves is what we're proposing. Is this a cult? Is this a religion? You know, if that is the case, why are you trying to reinvent the wheel, right. And so we had to remain constantly in this space of whatever we do is not an attempt to reinvent the wheel. But it's just to look at the wheel and the usage of that wheel and a different way. And so we're not creating a new religion, we're not creating a cult, what we're doing is we're trying to help people see that it's okay to be different. It's okay to be you, whatever that looks like, regardless of your looks, disability setbacks, you know, what you've done, that could translate to sins, things of that nature, what you don't have or lack that could translate to poverty, you know, that doesn't determine your connection with God. And so my biggest push is to remind people, there should not be a middleman between you and God. Because no one knows more than you. When it comes to God. No one has a capitalism, on the knowledge of God. Because we're all just interpreting an idea of God. God is not the physical thing that we can go visit. God is everywhere. It's nowhere, right? And so we can just bottle God up and say, Well, I've got God, and it's for sale, or I've got God, if you want to cure something, you know, we're so we're here to advocate that. That's not necessary. God is not that far away. God is actually inside of all of us. We come from God. We're always connected to God. You know, so it's a remembrance, religion. **Michael Hingson ** 54:54 And the last thing and it's an interesting way to put it. And the last thing you want to be is using your own term. My analogy is that middleman because that would violate every precept you've talked about here. **Aaron Waldron ** 55:06 Exactly, exactly. **Michael Hingson ** 55:09 What strengthens your faith beyond religion, you know, so many people say, Well, I, my, my faith comes from being a Christian and all that. And so for you what strengthens your faith, since you, you deal with it outside the typical constructs of religion. Yeah. **Aaron Waldron ** 55:24 My solitude strengthens my faith. For me, we hear God so to speak more in ourselves when we feel God closer in our solitude, you know. But when stepping outside the four walls of religion in the wilderness, so to speak, my solitude is where God feels and sounds and is the closest. And that gives us faith. **Michael Hingson ** 55:57 And I would, the only thing I would add to that is, is your love, also, which has to be an integral part of it. **Aaron Waldron ** 56:03 Of course, in our solitude, we learn to love ourselves. And in that process, we learn to love others through their heart, heart aches and struggles, because we have a lot of we're surrounded by a lot of people that are carrying things unconsciously, or they're carrying things consciously, and are battling with it. That doesn't mean that we shouldn't be connected to them or be their friend or help them. We just have to be aware of these things. So we can better love them, you know, and not enable their toxicities. Because we want to say, Oh, well, me giving you money is how I demonstrate my love. Okay, well, maybe money is not what I needed. You know, that type of thing. So, for me, in solitude, we get to not only know more of ourselves, and be able to love more of ourselves, empathize with more of ourselves, especially our shadow, you know, like that really hurt part of ourselves. That's like really angry all the time and just doesn't know everything is misinformed and doesn't have it, have all the facts or all the perspectives to see that it wasn't about you, per se, you were just part of a larger event type of thing. So by doing this stuff, we're able to love strangers, complete strangers, you know, interact with our neighbors, so to speak, and be good neighbors without a secret agenda. **Michael Hingson ** 57:31 Yeah, that's really the operative part without a secret agenda. There's no need to have it. No, there isn't. So you have chosen a different path other than the traditional, typical organized religion? Do you still have friends? Who are religious leaders and very active in their own religions? **Aaron Waldron ** 57:51 Yes, many have deep, deep conversations all the time. Yeah. But um, yes, we still have friends that are inside religion. In the church. They're prominent figures, leaders. And, you know, we still agree to certain capacities about things. But more more importantly, we're friends, human friends, you know. **Michael Hingson ** 58:18 And that proves the validity of a lot of what you're talking about, because you can do that, and you don't need to battle over who's right and who's wrong. Right, exactly. So after leaving religion, do you view your life? Or would you describe it as being something like exodus in the Bible? Yes, exactly. That for a question. **Aaron Waldron ** 58:45 Yeah, that's, that's a great way to put it. And and in that analogy way, or do poet poetic way, would be like, our life has been like Exodus. And we still find ourselves in accidents. And we're looking for that land of milk and honey, so to speak. But it the idea of the land and milk and honey is not a destination, so to speak. It's a pursuit, right? We're looking for something better, constantly. And we're just navigating the wilderness. And when we do that, we have to pick up certain skills and embody certain things and live our life a certain kind of way for us to be in a balanced state with the wilderness nature. You know, because nature is not predictable. **Michael Hingson ** 59:35 And I think, sorry, go ahead. Go ahead. No, **Aaron Waldron ** 59:39 I was just saying we have to be adaptable and fluid and reflective of that natural sting of just something may happen and it may not always go as planned. You know, and we have to be able to just adjust and adapt and grow and develop. And **Michael Hingson ** 59:57 I think we'll find eventually that that land of welcome Honey is really something that's more inside of us. And it's more of a concept and a state of mind. Or if you will, in terms of what we do with this podcast, a mindset than anything else. We **Aaron Waldron ** 1:00:13 agree. Absolutely. **Michael Hingson ** 1:00:16 Well, I want to thank you for being here. And for doing this, I have had a very enjoyable and joyous time I, I hope you have to It's been fun.

What will the U.S. FDA do now? With the release of the 2023 National Youth Tobacco Survey, it's now not only certain the so-called “epidemic” of teen vaping is over, but it looks like it was mostly hype in the first place. In the last four years, the teen vaping rate crashed to a historic low, dropping over 60% since its 2019 high. Joining us today is Tony Abboud, executive director of the Vapor Technology Association. He says the 2023 NYTS data fundamentally undercuts the FDA's teen vaping narrative, which it has gripped onto for years while pushing the myth that flavors drive youth vaping. Will the FDA reverse course?

This week I'm talking to Peter Panagore about his book 'Heaven Is Beautiful: How Dying Taught Me That Death Is Just the Beginning'.When Peter Baldwin Panagore died on the side of a mountain, his life was forever changed. Decades later, the intense spiritual journey continues, with a story that combines the thrills of a wilderness adventure with the awe-inspiring elements of a paranormal novel.In March of 1980, college senior Peter Panagore went ice climbing on the world-famous Lower Weeping Wall, along the Ice Fields Parkway in Alberta, Canada. His climbing partner was an experienced ice climber, but Panagore was a novice. On their descent, they became trapped on the side of the mountain. As the sun set, he was overcome by exhaustion and hypothermia. He died on the side of that mountain. And in those minutes on the other side, he experienced hell, forgiveness, and unconditional love. Heaven was beautiful.Panagore's death experience changed his life and resulted in an intense spiritual journey that has continued for decades. It impelled him to pursue a master's degree at Yale Divinity School, focusing on systematic theology and Christian mysticism. His educational background coupled with 30 years of meditative practice and 20 years of professional work with the dying and grieving has given him unique insight, language, and perspective on heaven, God, death, life, love, beauty, and hope.BioGlobal Audible Best-Selling Author of Heaven Is Beautiful: How Dying Taught Me That Death Is Just The Beginning and Maine Best-Selling Author of Two Minutes for God: Quick Fixes for the Spirit Rev. Peter Baldwin Panagore, MDiv. is an entrepreneur and ordained pastor. For fifteen years (2003-2018), he broadcasted a daily two-minute spot on two NBC TV stations with Daily Devotions (brand) just before the morning's weather. Storytelling, communicator, public speaker, pastor, and storyteller, Peter had thirty million views annually on TV (Nielsen Ratings) and uncounted listeners on FM and AM across Maine and New Hampshire plus around the nation.Peter graduated from Yale University, where he completed his MDiv, focusing on the practices and writings in the classics of western mysticism.A two-time Near-Death Experiencer, Peter, first died in 1980 of hypothermia while ice climbing in Banff Provincial Park in Canada, and then again of a heart attack in 2015, just as Hampton Roads, HarperCollins Canada, Guidepost's, Jaffa Kiado, Audible, Brilliance Audio, Kindle, Audible, and Nook, released Heaven Is Beautiful globally. In 2020, Ananta Productions with Andrea Stone and Avenue Pictures with Cary Brokaw optioned Heaven Is Beautiful for a feature film.Peter's Maine Best Seller, Two Minutes for God: Quick Fixes for the Spirit, published with Simon & Schuster, is a daily inspirational story drawn from among the seventeen hundred he wrote and broadcast each day. Peter's at work on his third book with the working title, Knowing God.From 1990-2003, Peter published publishing one-hundred and fifty sermons and dozens of prayers as a staff writer for Homiletics (now Homiletics.Online), a national leading worship preparation journal for progressive clergy.Peter published his first story, Former Enemies, once in The NYTs #1 Best Seller, Chicken Soup for the Veteran's Soul: Stories to Stir the Pride and Honor the Courage of Our Veterans, and again in Stories from a Soldier's Heart: For the Patriotic Soul (over 5 million copies in print) by Waterbrook Multnomah Publishers.

I was a Black Rifle Coffee Club member for years. I joined Bonefrog coffee when you first advertised. Bonefrog is the best coffee. Here is the note I recently sent to Black Rifle. I was sad to do it. But it had to be done: "I'm still pretty disappointed about BRCC's situation regarding Kyle Rittenhouse. I read the NYTs article, and some of the other content around it. I listened to the interview on the Dana Loesch show. Why not just say, "Sorry. We got it wrong. Yes, the kid wore our T-shirt, but otherwise we don't have a connection to any of that"? Sure, the NYTs isn't really going to be your friend -- so why EVER even talk to them? (Hope you learned that lesson.) But the broad-brush dismissal of people who have more in common with your values than ANYbody involved with BLM was wrong. I've let this settle for awhile, and it really hasn't gotten better. I expect people who were veterans to understand a simple, "sorry." It's time we parted ways. I'll be shifting to Bonefrog coffee - team matters to them."

"When you are a leader or a manager, you are on stage." Are you leading in a startup environment? Then this episode of The New Leader Podcast is for you! Today our special guest is Alisa Cohn, and we're chatting about her latest book, "From Start Up To Grown Up: Grow Your Leadership To Grow Your Business"   Alisa's clients include Venmo, Squarespace, Etsy, Novartis and more. She was named the #1 start up coach in the world at the 2019 Thinkers50 MG100 Coaches Award. Alisa regularly writes for Inc., Forbes, HBR, and has been featured in BBC, Bloomberg, NYTs and many other outlets. She has great energy and sharp insights!   In this episode, you'll learn: How to manage yourself using practical ways to control your self-doubt, and build upon your motivators How to manage your team by leveraging the power of delegation and positive feedback, to build the right culture How to manage the business by creating a vision for success, clear goals, and a dashboard for accountability. And much more! Self-Awareness Matters The first person you lead everyday is yourself, so you have to first deal with your person and be aware of your own strengths and weakness, when are you at your best or worst, et cetera. Having that awareness will help you develop what you need to develop to be a better leader.   Leading with authenticity When I think about authenticity, I think people want it because they want to feel that connection with another person. The chinks in the armor, the vulnerability, is what helps people connect with you, relate with you, and therefore makes it easier for them to get behind your mission even when the chips are down.   Going back to basics Everybody experiences some level of self-doubt, impostor syndrome, those kinds of things. So you need to think about the way you manage your own psychology. It's true for all leaders and that's also true for startup founders, because there's a lot of ups and downs in a startup, so you got to think about how do I manage myself for the long-term? That comes down to some of the basics: eating, sleeping, not drinking too much alcohol, fitness and stress relief, as well as giving yourself tools to combat impostor syndrome and negative self-talk.     Links and Resources Connect with Alisa: LinkedIn, Twitter, Website From Start Up To Grown Up: Grow Your Leadership To Grow Your Business by Alisa Cohn (book) What Got You Here Won't Get You There by Marshall Goldsmith (book) Leadership Challenge by James M.

As I work on a series on nuclear weapons and why the UFO intelligence might be interested in them, a look back at an interview Sinead Whelehan and I did with physical medium Stewart Alexander and Leslie Kean who investigated him. Many researchers are waiting for the President to stand up and declare ETs are here. Yet the national security reporter for Politico reporter that the Pentagon conducted a study on the possibility that the UFOs might actually be from here, just a different here in another dimension. If this theory is right the intelligence is able to pop in to the physical world, take on a body, and then when done their business, pop back into the non-physical non local field that they came from. In this interview you will hear Alexander and Kean describe exactly the same phenomenon happening in physical medium seances, where entities come into the physical, interact, and then disappear into whatever world they came from. Most spectacular is the story Kean tells of a forearm and hand that has appeared in front of her on more than one occasion during her scientific investigation. It appeared from nothing in the red light, and she was allowed to touch it and examine it. She said it was as real as any hand she had ever touched. It would bang on the table to prove it was solid, and then it would just disappear. Could this explain how UFO entities pop in, walk through walls, and disappear into balls of light? The implications of the things Kean witnessed studying Alexander may provide a key to UFO entity appearances, and more importantly to how the Universe might actually work.

The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) just released the latest figures about the youth vaping epidemic, the 2020 National Youth Tobacco Survey (NYTS). On today’s episode, Meredith and Dorian discuss how this important federal report contains some promising news: a decline in the number of teens regularly vaping, from 5.4 million to 3.6 million. However, these numbers, a return to 2018 figures, remain at “epidemic” levels, the term used then by FDA and the Surgeon General. The difference now is that these teens report more frequent use, possibly a sign of greater nicotine addiction. We’re also alarmed by a1000% increase in the use of disposable e-cigarettes and a rise in use of menthol-flavored products. That includes menthol JUUL, a flavor for which the company has filed for FDA approval, despite claiming it has abandoned flavors to discourage youth use.

Jack Carr is a former Navy SEAL sniper and NYTs bestselling author of three novels, THE TERMINAL LIST, TRUE BELIEVER, and SAVAGE SON, two of which were on the NYTs audio bestseller list simultaneously. He is a prolific reader, influenced as a writer by many of the greats of the "military/spy novel" genre, and a man who understood exactly what he wanted to do with his life at a very young age. He is a warrior-poet, self-described "gear guy", and a seeker. In this conversation he and Mark discuss their overlap in experience and relationships, development of the PCU cold-weather clothing system, light haul system, all sorts of nerdy shooting stuff, and remember great men who did and are currently doing great things. It's a talk about action, and writing, politics and current events where few stones are left unturned but enough are that a second conversation is inevitable. Tune in. Turn on.

Scott Carney’s The Wedge: Investigative Journalism by One of the Best

Scott Carney is a bestselling author, anthropologist and investigative journalist whose works blend narrative non-fiction with ethnography. Scott has worked in some of the most dangerous and unlikely corners of the world, spending extensive time in South Asia. He was a contributing editor at Wired for five years and his writing also appears in Mother Jones, Men’s Journal, Playboy, Foreign Policy, Discover, Outside and Fast Company. I find his journalistic work to be a cross between George Plimpton and Tim Ferriss – in that he is quite the participant in the journalistic work he does. His work has been the subject of a variety of radio and television programs, including NPR and National Geographic TV. In 2010, he won the Payne Award for Ethics in Journalism for his story “Meet the Parents,” which tracked an international kidnapping-to-adoption ring. He’s the author of four books including his recently published The Wedge which will be large part of our conversation in this episode. His other books include The Red Market, The Enlightenment Trap, and What Doesn’t Kill Us which was a New York Times bestseller. In this episode we discuss his award-winning book, The Red Market, based on his six years investigating the underground market for human bodies and body parts. I first came across his writing in What Doesn’t Kill Us. That book was about the semi-famous breathing guru, Wim Hof. As for context, I’ve summited Mt. Kilimanjaro and I had to put my water bottle inside my Gortex jacket to keep it from freezing, and Scott and Wim climbed it without a shirt on at negative thirty degrees. Scott explains how such “feats” are done. Wim endorsed Scott’s latest book, The Wedge, as "Crazy good writing" and I wholeheartedly agree. Ben Greenfield, who is also a NYTs bestselling author, said: “prepare to enter an intriguing world of self-improvement and physical and mental performance that you have never before discovered. Scott Carney, once again, has elegantly intertwined his ferocious style of immersive journalism with an entertaining educational approach that is sure to improve your life and longevity forever.” And both Dave “Bulletproof” Asprey and Amelia “Queen of Pain” Boone wrote Forewords. In The Wedge, Scott sets a framework of human evolution and migration, and introduces the concept of the power of choice as an equally significant evolutionary force vis-à-vis the limits of endurance. Key to this is what he calls “The Wedge,” in how humans can wedge control over automatic physiological responses into the breaking point between stress and biology. And off we go… Scott’s searched the globe for examples of what he calls “the subtle language of how the body responds to its environment.” We start with studying fear in a neuroscience laboratory at Stanford and then... Kettlebell partner passing, Sensory deprivation tanks (a la Altered States) Placebo paradox and mindful health experiments with breathing routines that border transcendence via Wim and DMT breathing, ayahuasca in a Peruvian Amazon jungle with a shaman, and “Kent & Lane” and MDMA augmented couples therapy We end with his recommendations on where someone could start if they were interested in their own personal exploration, to help us all live our lives in full.

In this episode, I am excited to have Matthew Foli and Elissa Meyer on to talk about their experience as lawyers pioneering the yoga and wellness environment in Minneapolis. Elissa Meyer is a Program Attorney at Minnesota Continuing Legal Education in the Twin Cities, and a yoga teacher at a small community studio in Northeast Minneapolis called YOGA Garden. She loves the idea that both law and yoga are "practices," with endless opportunities for learning and growing. Matthew Foli is a real estate attorney/yoga teacher in Minneapolis. He regularly sends out emails about yoga, meditation, and mindfulness, geared towards attorneys and beneficial for everyone. Topics Covered Matthew & Elissa speak on their pasts that led them to where they are now. Elissa talks about being a lawyer, her upbringing in yoga, and how everything came together for her to become a teacher of yoga and wellness. Matt touches on how his view of yoga as a practice has shifted from his initial misguided outlook of "practicing to perfection", as opposed to practicing for self-betterment. Their efforts on bringing yoga and wellness to the local legal community and how it has/is being received. They also reflect on how humbling the experience of starting up a practice and teaching yoga can be. We discuss and dispel the myths of practicing yoga, as well as all of our different definitions for yoga and how it benefits us. Matthew goes into detail on how just meditation as a practice can create a pivotal change in how we approach the day-to-day.

We offer tools and strategies for creating a more joyful and satisfying life. And now your host, Jeena Cho. Jeena Cho: [00:00:42] Hello my friends, thanks for being with us today and joining us for another episode of The Resilient Lawyer podcast. In this episode, I am so delighted to have some Elissa Meyer who is a program attorney at the Minnesota Continuing Legal Education in Twin Cities and also a yoga teacher at a small community studio in NE Minneapolis called The Joyful Garden. And we also have Matthew Foli, who is a real estate attorney and also a yoga teacher in Minneapolis. He regularly sends out e-mails about yoga, meditation, and mindfulness. [00:01:50] Before we get into the interview, if you haven't listened to the last bonus episode, go back and check it out. It was a few episodes ago, I shared a six-minute guided meditation practice, to help you let go of stress and anxiety. And it's particularly great for this time of year because I know for me it's always a stressful time. And so often I hear from lawyers that they know they should meditate and practice mindfulness, but they just don't have the time. And I always tell them you know what, just start with six minutes. Start with just .1 hour. All the hours you dedicate to your clients, work, and others, don't you deserve to have just one .1 hour for yourself? And so I created a program, it's called Mindful Pause and it's designed for lawyers like you so that you can fit it into your very hectic schedule. So head on over to JeenaCho.com to learn more. That's "J-E-E-N-A-C-H-O" dot com. Or you could also look at the show notes.  Alyssa and Matthew welcome to you both. Matthew Foli: [00:02:56] Thank you. Elissa Meyer: [00:02:56] Thank you. Hi Gina. Jeena Cho: [00:02:59] Yes and they said. I'm assuming we can start by having you give us a 30-second introduction to who you are and why you know. Elissa Meyer: [00:03:08] So as you mentioned in the intro. I am a program Attorney at Minnesota continuing legal education. So in that role, I think of it sort of as producing continuing education seminars for lawyers and that starts often with a planning process. Working with practicing attorneys to help design programs that are really timely and relevant and then following it all the way through. So designing a brochure and developing a marketing plan and working with the volunteer speakers collecting materials all the way to the date of the program where it's sort of a hosting and just making sure everything runs as close to as we intended it as we can. It's really a fun job and I'm grateful to have it so. And then I also on the side have this little gig as a yoga teacher and all the time I'm thinking about and learning ways to try to combine those things which are really fun. Thanks for having me. Jeena Cho: [00:04:08] Oh wonderful I can't wait to hear more about how you're combining this studio and what you have in the 30-second introduction. So Matthew Foli: [00:04:19] I'm a title examiner at a commercial real estate title insurance company. I've just started that job a month ago. Jeena, you'll love this. I lasted two days at the new job before I broke out in hives and I had come from a government position as in Minnesota we have a Torrens land system and it was a title examiner there for 13 years decided to make a switch for a career and it's interesting what I've been preaching before to attorneys about taking time for themselves. And now I'm ready to change that message because I notice that I'm busy now or a busier than I was before. Jeena Cho: [00:05:00] Yeah and I think that's a really interesting point maybe we can work into here because I often find that whatever. Is the reason for you leaving your job often that issue will all be to you? So it's almost like leaving one bad relationship for another. So yeah Elissa just learn more about what you've learned from this experience of teaching jobs. Matthew Foli: [00:05:27] And you know I think I just really think like transition it's interesting what Elyssa said about how like she has this little part this little thing of yoga on the side. But you know they're both they're both slash careers for us. Yes, and I are friends we're actually right here together doing the podcast in the same room. We are both motivated to change the profession in a good way here in the Twin Cities. Yeah, and the yoga part in the wellness part fills us up as much as the day job does. Jeena Cho: [00:06:02] And I love that and love having it some other outside and that you al-Sadr works and that actually helps you better your job and also helps you to be better at all areas of life because that's how you find balance work. Elissa Meyer: [00:06:21] Yeah I think the thing about finding ways to combine them you know where they intersect. To me, that's made my work at Minnesota CLB like so much better and so much more valuable and fulfilling. You know I came to Minnesota CLB after work you know practicing for almost eight years in a small firm and in-house and I had to make that transition because I was just sort of miserable and at the end of my ability to sustain myself where I was and I found that when I finally made the switch that felt more aligned for me professionally. I was I was able to focus on sort of these personal things that were meaningful to me like yoga and then I was able to figure out how to put them together and have it just be this more integrated thing. And Matthew pointed out that I said yoga was just a little thing a side gig. But I guess that's just sort of a historical like you minimize the thing on the side but it really is like that. It's really a critically important part of my life. So I appreciate Matthew kind of calling it because it is so. It's a big thing. It is a big thing for me. Jeena Cho: [00:07:30] You know I'm always like how do you go from this thing a lot to deciding oh I'm going to start acting seeing that much. You know I can see it happening. But then it kind of turned me into that really big leap to say I'm going to jump in and go through training. I teach at what was the abolition of I guess. Elissa Meyer: [00:07:51] I've had sort of an awareness of yoga even from the time I was a small child. My mom practiced yoga and I had this little book when I was little and I would you know the sort of make the shapes of the poses a lot of the poses have names that translate to like animal names and so this book was this really cool like a visual book with kids in the yoga poses. But the animals are the tree or whatever were superimposed over them and so it's just a really fun book. And then that continued in high school I was a dancer and so I use yoga as part of that training and then in college and by the time I got to law school I'd sort of fallen away from any kind of regular practice like really at the time when I could have used it the most probably. But and then that sort of continued as I started to practice you know so I have in fits and starts I would kind of come back to yoga and I knew it helped me but I just felt you know like sort of so stressed out that trying to do it sometimes just created more stress. So in 20, I think 20 14 when I kind of realized that I had to make this job transition like for my own mental health and wellbeing. [00:09:08] I after I sort of did some work some self-study to figure out what kind of job I wanted and I was really fortunate that things just sort of fell into place. And once I started that new job I. This opportunity came up to do a yoga teacher training program and I really hadn't had a regular practice and I was just like oh this thing is right here right in front of me. I'm going to do it. And so I didn't take the yoga teacher training program really with the intention to teach. I took it with the intention to refocus on my own practice. But once I completed it I the idea of teaching became more of like a dare to myself because I was so I was so terrified of teaching that I was like you know this is important to me I feel like I want to share it. And I was lucky to find a little studio where I could. The stakes were pretty low. Like I could do it in my own time. It didn't really matter if anyone showed up to my classes or not. [00:10:10] And for a few months, there were definitely days where no one came. But it was sort of just like this thing I wanted to do. So I was going to you know I was in this big transition I was feeling I don't know maybe sort of emboldened and I just decided I was going to do it and try to figure it out and not worry about the outcome just engage with it and just kind of been a continuation from there. You know its like exploded into all of these other great things and opportunities. And so getting to where we are today. Jeena Cho: [00:10:44] Yeah and I just really good not just that you know I mean there's definitely some amount of courage that you to say yes something that you know that you just like you did a 200-hour training. Elissa Meyer: [00:10:58] Yes. Yeah, I did. And actually, since then, I've done another one so I've done like two hundred hour training which they were you know they were different. So that's been interesting but yeah I just I sort of jumped right into this 200-hour training you know with teachers I didn't really know and I was like well I don't know what I was really doing but yeah just sort of made a quick decision and it was a good decision. Jeena Cho: [00:11:26] I love that. Well you know I feel like that's so like the opposite of how we're supposed to do things as lawyers were very I don't want to go and watch from every single angle and you didn't spend six months sort of weighing the pros and cons differently. Elissa Meyer: [00:11:43] You know and after the fact you know it's like if you really wanted to weigh the pros and cons like there are so many articles about like how to pick the right teacher training program and what are you looking for and I'm just like man I didn't do I didn't do any of that work. But you know which is not. It's not meant to be critical it's just sort of a funny observation and I think it's really just a reflection of where I was at that time in my life like I was just needed to sort of bust out of this place that where I'd been and that was that was sort of how I decided to do it yeah. [00:12:17] Right you know it's really funny because as I'm listening to your story I was like visiting my parents in New York and I saw an e-mail coming from Spirit Rock which is I've done a lot of my meditation training and they announced that they're doing a 200 hour teacher a yoga teacher training program starting in January and this was back in might. And something you like out next year which felt like far away but they only I think there were only opening it to like 20 people and I know that most events asparagus sells out. Like almost immediately I was like you know what I'm just going to do it. And so I signed that and it sounded like such a great idea. Back in June and now I'm looking at my calendar for next year and I have this like 200-hour law which ends up being like several. You know like Monday through Friday works workshops and now sort of going back as I ate. Elissa Meyer: [00:13:17] That's exciting though right. Like this. That sounds really great. Jeena Cho: [00:13:22] Yeah it's definitely really excited us a little bit scared because I think also at the same place that you're in where it's like I have no regulating yogi and quite some time that I like to fall in and out of practice and same think me I was like I don't only have a desire to teach but I felt like if I went and did the teacher training program that may be forcing me to get into that. It's safe. Elissa Meyer: [00:13:49] In a way there's something kind of nice about that too because it's like you're maybe a little more open like you're not putting so much pressure on yourself or like if you haven't had a practice like it's fun you know it's more like I'm just going in to see what's going to happen. And yeah you know maybe I can't do all these poses but like I'm just going to I'm going to sort of be curious and check this out and in some ways, that's kind of nice so yeah. Jeena Cho: [00:14:17] Matthew how about you. How did you end up doing and getting into yoga and doing the training? Matthew Foli: [00:14:26] So my last job with Hennepin County that's where Minneapolis is the county seat. One of my co-workers probably likes in 2006 or 2007 something like that she was going to a noon yoga class in the building. And like she looked at me and said Why don't you come with me like she was challenging me. Let's go right ahead. Didn't they have the clothes? I don't think I'd ever been to a class before. Went there went the next week. Went to next week kind of thing. And it's funny because this teacher Nita I don't remember this but she's told some other people that I asked her at the beginning what was the point of Chavira and at the end of class why don't you just end class five minutes early and let us. [00:15:14] So that was my mindset at the beginning and I continue to do that. And then I think like 2009 we became members of Lifetime Fitness here in town. And I think I don't know. From 2009 to 2014 that five years stretch at work I was not very happy and I was looking for the next opportunity which was a retirement. By the by the supervisor and I was absolutely attached to getting that position. And that came around in 2014 and I did not get that position. And so that was like the life changer kind of thing for me. And I was doing yoga before that but I was doing more group fitness and my wife was doing a Sunday morning yoga class and I wasn't coming with her. But then I started to go to her class reluctantly and started to go back to that class more and it was so funny because like at the beginning like I'd go up to the teacher and I'd be like after class and I would whisper to her am I getting better. Jeena Cho: [00:16:19] You know you watch me in class you know and I think you are a lawyer right. Matthew Foli: [00:16:27] You know like I do I do a lot better that type of thing. You don't you have you noticed any progress in all of that is so misguided. Because like it doesn't matter right it doesn't matter what you look like it's like what you take away. I've got one teacher right now who like she just breaks it down to say that the whole point of a yoga class is for you to walk out afterward feeling better than when you walked in. That's it. So whatever the class is whatever they end up doing that's all that's he's the only goal so I think I was finally at the right place at the right time. [00:16:58] I actually started to listen to those crazy messages that the teachers gave us in class and it was starting to. I started to take them with me outside of the yoga studio. There was one where one of the studios had glass mirrors on the front and some others that I go to do not because you know the point isn't really to stare at yourself or to see what your neighbor is doing. But then the teacher like halfway to class she just said you know try not to compare yourself to others by looking in the mirror. And then she kind of like just as a throwaway says and when you leave the studio try not to compare yourself to others. And you know I had figured out this was probably like 2000 15 or so I'd figured out at that point that I had spent the first 20 years of my luck. We're comparing me to others within the profession starting with law school certainly with other students and you know who was getting the on-campus interviews and who wasn't and who was getting the summer jobs and who wasn't. And then afterward you know just going on and on and on and always comparing yourself where you are on the short end of the stick. Jeena Cho: [00:18:09] You don't have that comparing mind is very strong and for us in all of us particularly in. Matthew Foli: [00:18:18] So at the end of 2014 I told one of these teachers that did the Sunday morning classes Drew and I had this big blow out birthday party because it was such a crappy year and she came and I just told her all of the benefits that I had received from her yoga classes. And actually then that fall I had also had pneumonia. And so the only thing I could do was yoga and not group fitness so I took like 17 classes one month and he was like you know like you start here you know you have to be at the right place at the right time. It has to be correct for you I've got one friend of mine who after I had become this yoga convert I said Just come with me we'll go to your office and we'll meditate for five minutes and then she was like I don't even have five. She's an attorney. She's like I don't even have five minutes to minute and then like a year later she would start to come to my classes and then she would say I feel like I've got three times as much time during the day than I did before I started doing yoga. [00:19:11] So you know you have to be at the right place at the right time. But so I told this friend drew about the benefits that I had had. And then she tells this story the next day Sunday morning she goes to her own class that she's teaching and she relays the story about how well there's this other person who usually had class and he told me yesterday that these are the benefits he gets from yoga. And then after class, she says well these people came up to her and they said they really liked her story and I'm like well I can cut her out of the middle. I mean I can just tell these stories myself. [00:19:38] So I really think that and also for the yoga teaching you do not need to do all the poses to be a good teacher and the person that I've used as a great example of that is this gentleman that's in town here Matthew Sanford and he's in a wheelchair and he's a great yoga teacher. So you know if he can do it then any of us can cue the polls too and then I listen I really find beneficial for especially for my target audience which is attorneys. [00:20:10] I think it's beneficial to have an attorney teaching the yoga class because we can totally say me too. I mean we know so when people say well I just I have this judge in this case where I'm working on this and my target audience was real estate attorneys in this field. And so like we would be working on the same deals. So I did the teacher training. I actually received a scholarship they were giving away one free scholarship. All you had to do was give 150-word essay about what yoga meant for you. That was super easy for me. [00:20:46] And I don't think many people applied did so I did that. My wife was hoping we would do it at the same time actually once our daughter got out of high school. But she's just a sophomore now. So I did it on my own. And then Nancy my wife actually did it the following You know a six month period afterward so she's gone through her teacher training. I've gone through mine. Listen I met through the Minnesota Citlali program stuff and yeah so we've just taken it from there. I'm not teaching at a studio and actually, I'm not teaching a regular class right now. I started out by being invited by a friend of mine at her. She was the local boss of a national title insurance company not where I'm working now. [00:21:28] And she wanted to do a summer of fun for her. For her employees. And so I started we used a conference room in her office building and I just started doing Fridays for free for several months and then that office building offered me another place within their building to teach for free. And so it was right downtown and then so I just started to create this email list and invite more and more people. And it started out with me just saying I'm teaching on Friday at noon and then it became more. Here's an interesting e-mail about here's an interesting yoga story that I read. And here's an interesting thing about mindfulness. And so I started to provide more resources to my yoga peeps. Jeena Cho: [00:22:11] Yeah I love hearing that journey of just how things unfold. Just because he showed up I mean you didn't have this like you know this entire plan figured out in terms of like a candidate. Do you have a teacher training program then and I start teaching it to you know lawyers it just kind of unfolds and. I often feel like that's what yoga teaches us. Sort of shelling out as you are you know in the moment and just seeing what unfolds as you know like a fire everyone that happens you know I think can relate to us. Is that. [00:22:45] How you show up today is not going to be high up tomorrow like the body changes you change. And I love like just that teaching about life yoga. Yeah. It's Riffle. Yes. Matthew Foli: [00:23:02] If I think the three of us certainly and you've got other guests if we are willing to just express that hey I'm not ready for this but I'm still going to do it anyways. And I'm not waiting for everything to be lined up before I embark on this journey. I think that our audience members are absolutely receptive and are looking for that in their own lives. Jeena Cho: [00:23:24] Yeah. Yes. Regrade Yeah. And I now that both of you are involved in trying to bring these sort of Balmes masterful beings health care type of barbershops to them. The Minnesota legal communities. Curious to hear more about your efforts and also how that's being received in that community. Matthew Foli: [00:23:47] Elyssa can talk about this and so can I. But so the Hennepin County Bar Association has created clubs. They've got like a knitting club in a wine tasting club and a book club and things like that trying to create social communities for the attorneys and I'm all for that. On a grand scale which they think that if-if you can connect with other attorneys on a nonbusiness setting it makes the business settings go so much smoother because you can be patient with each other and forgive each other because you've already you know it's harder to just snap at somebody who you already know in a social setting. Jeena Cho: [00:24:22] Yeah so true. Matthew Foli: [00:24:24] So one of them was the yoga club and they had had it for a year. And I think Elyssa got an email from them and then she contacted me and said Why don't we reach out to them see what they're doing. And the two people that were in charge were looking to hand it off and they had had only one event. I think in 2016 and so we listen to me what we what we are doing right now is we are offering one class a month. We do it at the CBA offices in one of the conference rooms. We've tried before work at noon and after work and we do it for FREE. It's an ctually it's a freewill donation for Minnesota lawyers concern for lawyers. Jeena Cho: [00:25:05] But you know yeah such a wonderful organization. I know this giving them a shout out and using more than just cash is king right. Matthew Foli: [00:25:16] So they give us cash and we turn around and we give it to LCL and they use it as they are. So the classes have been small. I mean you know and that's so funny with us too. And I'm sure this happened with the list and when she started teaching you to know you would tell people while I'm teaching and then the first question would always be well how many people come to your class. [00:25:38] Like as if the judge said you only sold out crowd but you know elicit gets that with her day job because of the seven hours that she puts on. You know she you know I'm speaking for her but I know like I'm one of her speakers. And like I want a packed room. I don't want a small room even though for the people that come. It can be just as beneficial. You know let's say like you know you've never been to a class where you probably certainly for yoga when you've said Geez I wish there were more people in class you know so like where I feel like I would get less one on one attention from the teacher. So the classes have been small but we've been offering them and we have somebody else that sends out these gorgeous looking flyers and it's promoted in the HCB a website. [00:26:31] So I think part of our plan of attack here is simply to make it relevant and show people that it's happening on a regular basis and not judging the results by the number of people that are in class. Jeena Cho: [00:26:44] And I feel like that's the right attitude to have because you know attorneys may not be able to come to that particular yoga class but I think just seeing that on the schedule or at your bar associations events is a really powerful message. I think it normalizes you know health care normalizes is actually taking time for yourself. And that being a lawyer isn't just about knowing the law. You know it's really about the person's love. Matthew Foli: [00:27:19] So we switch off classes I teach one month and then elicit teaches the next month. Elissa Meyer: [00:27:23] And we don't compare who gets more than one time. Matthew Foli: [00:27:28] OK. I think it does. But you know something else that we've learned and this is something that with my new job now is that I used to have time for the lunch hour. And you know with my e-mails and then my classes my own classes that I would teach on Fridays I would teach one at 7:00 and one at noon and I would have plenty of classes where nobody would come. Nobody would come and I would send out an e-mail to 180 people. I told one person that it felt like inviting a 180 people to your birthday party and only 60 people read the invitation. And zero come you. That's how I was personalizing everything. Right. And Elyssa offers yoga before a full day Sealy's as a little wellness component. And she's been pushing that where maybe it's like a two-day conference and each day in the morning they're going to have yoga and they provide the mats and maybe like the first day. But nobody came at them the second day one person came and said hey listen we'll send me this e-mail saying like you know I'm not judging this and this is OK and she's got such a good attitude. [00:28:35] If she can believe it and like you know if she can. So the deal that I wanted to say was that like with this new job that I have now I even think like a 45-minute yoga class at noon maybe too long no I think like maybe a half hour is what we should be offering. Just because we want to get them there and Gina you talk about this a lot. Right. You don't say that you should be meditating for 20 minutes you. You had that one where you said two minutes a day for 21 days now. Right. Just like doing it every day for two minutes. It's been more beneficial than doing it. You know like having that crappiest a day and then saying oh jeez you know something maybe I should meditate some more and then meditate for the first time in three weeks to teach yoga. Elissa Meyer: [00:29:22] I think to practice yoga like you. And I think another person you interviewed about this you know mentioned something like this like its humbling. You know you put yourself out there and you don't know how it's going to be received and despite your best intentions and your greatest hopes like it just might not work out how you anticipate it and so that's humbling and to not personalize it is difficult but important. So like what I what I've started to try to process the longer I teach and the more I teach and in them the more venues that I teach fight like the practice it's I'm the teacher maybe I'm up there but like it's never really about me. [00:30:03] It's about what you know. So the time and holding that space like it's just none of it's about me. Like when people come to class whatever experience they have like it's really not about me and this I get reminded of this it shows up in all different ways. A few nights ago I was teaching a class and you know the studio I teach is small and it's kind of quirky and it's very informal and throughout the class there were a couple of people next to each other and they kept like sort of chattering and laughing and I would say something and then they would chat or laugh and I kind of felt like they were laughing at me and I was like Why are you laughing at me. [00:30:40] And they're like oh we're not. And I was like Oh right because it's not me. You know they were like sort of having this experience and they were like you know it was about something else entirely and it just sort of was like oh remember like it's this is not about you. [00:30:55] And so I just kind of try to keep that in mind when no one comes or when someone doesn't come back to a class you know it's like well I hope they find you know another place or another teacher or something that feels like a better fit because it's about their experience and what it means to them and it's not so much about. Jeena Cho: [00:31:13] So I think such a beautiful metaphor for how we live life and also how we pass this law because the outcome is never up to us like I can prepare all we want and that he and I we don't. It's not you know it is just like you can shop and do everything you can to chat at all. [00:31:32] What are some issues that are not completely up to you and instead of letting go of that and resolve and not judging yourself by the ultimate outcome is such a hard but important lesson to learn. Elissa Meyer: [00:31:49] Yeah and you know it's just like one of the yoga in general for me is just sort of this great metaphor and why I think it's so compatible with a law practice like in all these different ways it just reveals kind of these important and helpful lessons that make it easier to sustain you know sort of yourself in a practice that's as intense as law you know like it's really intense and conflict ridden and emotional and so you know finding ways to sort of manage that. And for me, yoga has been a really important part of it so I just think it's interesting all the time learning these different ways to look at it and use it. So thanks for helping to capture that yeah. Jeena Cho: [00:32:34] Yeah. And I actually think that kind of leads me to my next topic a conversation with trendies NYTs that we have about yoga practice like. You know I can only do yoga or you know you start to like me. So it was sort of the purpose of practicing yoga which you already started to talk about and it's not just about the physical aspect of it it's not meant to be like an aerobic exercise. Now can you talk a little bit more about some of the myths that you noticed particularly lawyers have about yoga and spelling? Elissa Meyer: [00:33:16] Yeah so start I know Matthew has a lot to add here too but right. So traditionally the physical yoga practice was meant to prepare people to sit still to sit in meditation. So the practice of the physical component of the practice was this lead up to finding stillness in the body and readying the body to be still and that's you know I think in the western world in a modern culture that's not really how we look at it. We look at it like this really intense opportunity for physical practice and that sometimes that can be OK. But you know if you if you look back and learn more about the philosophy and the history there's a little bit different picture to find. [00:34:01] I think one other thing is that US asana practice the physical practice is just one small component of what yoga is right. There are all these other ways in the tradition to practice yoga which include studying the philosophy or kind of karma yoga like service yoga there's meditation there are breathing exercises you know there are all these different ways to experience it. So. So I think that's one thing that is not always discussed yoga right like we hear or compare it to Yoga means all these crazy contorted poses and practices or Instagram version of yoga right. And the poses are beautiful. I mean I don't mean to minimize them. But there's a bigger picture to it I think and then you know then I think some other common things I hear like well I'm just not flexible so I can't come to yoga. And you know I don't know I didn't I'm not naturally that flexible. So you don't know. [00:35:08] So if you can sort of put that aside and be like you build flexibility by coming to yoga and that's you know some physical flexibility is also translating into a little mental flexibility. So if you can set that aside and sort of think about the growth opportunity there like what you start to build as you practice more. That's helpful. And then you know I think like what you look like when you practice like you know there's a lot of attention about like the right the right athletic wear what looks great you know. Jeena Cho: [00:35:40] But one thing you know when you speak your mind. Right. Elissa Meyer: [00:35:46] Right. So when I you know when we teach during the lunch hour or like a couple of times that I've taught before seminars like I'll come in the you know sort of like business casual wear that I plan to wear for the rest of the day because the point is not that you're going to get so sweaty and like you need to be wearing like separate clothes it's that if you're comfortable if you're in something that's comfortable you can move in it like you can do yoga and that. So I think she's trying to help people understand that you know it's not going to be so intense. [00:36:17] And so I don't know I mean the last one I think is just I hear people talk about like well how awkward it would be to be doing yoga around your colleagues like I don't want it to. So I think that you know and that's like that's hard. I sometimes feel like I've had a little anxiety about wanting to teach my colleagues or teach to people at seminars where I'm like teaching yoga first and then I have to go like be the you know be the voice of the seminar introducing and welcoming them like there is a boundary there right that like traditionally I think we see like we don't cross it or whatever but you know so like we try to keep the lights a little lower and like you know make it so. [00:37:01] Like real people are coming there for themselves kind of goes back to remembering really like much about you like no one's really going to be that focused on what you're doing so you can sort of just show up there and have the experience like it might not be that awkward after all. Jeena Cho: [00:37:16] So I don't know Matthew has unhappy before and you share some of the myths and you don't run across anything one that comes up so often as that joke is only for women. I don't know. You know I think that's because like so many yoga classes tend to be very women have these self when I kind of start there and say just ask you know what. What's that like. I mean I'm assuming when you're going to the yoga teacher training and you're sitting up and I could be wrong that you were sort of in the minority in terms of gender. Matthew Foli: [00:37:52] Yeah totally yeah. Yeah so my teacher training it was probably it was me and another gentleman that were the students and the rest were women I think we had like 10 or 11 total and you know for me on a personal level like that's you know that's OK. Like you know I got a twin sister she's my only sibling. My mom and dad got divorced when we were 10th graders and we lived with my mom basically. It is so yeah you know it was OK. [00:38:23] I mean I'm comfortable in settings that are predominantly female. But what's also interesting there is just then the male perspective and the male perspective like open up about stuff all men are they do not and especially like this profession male attorneys do not like to on a whole like to deal with their emotions. Jeena Cho: [00:38:46] I know. Yes. Completely Yeah and I think when you are it National I actually have a male. Matthew Foli: [00:38:57] And certainly plenty of women are the same way. So I'm the one then who has decided like I'm just going to like lay it all out there all the time you know like a friend of ours in the real estate community that committed suicide last October 2016. And so I started sending out my e-mails probably like around like June or so and started getting more people. And then the suicide happened on October 16 and I sent out one afterward. Just said like you know like play times over like this is what we're talking about like this is serious. This is one of our own. We were all better off when she was around and instead of like just going back to work Monday morning and forgetting about this let's think about what can we do to enroll the yoga and the meditation like those are not. Those are things to take the rough edges off to smooth the rough edges. You know you've got bigger problems you need to go seek to counsel. You may have other issues. [00:39:52] But for me I was kind of like in-between like with LCL like I'm the person who's supposed to I'm like the poster child for just being like dealing with insecurity and perfection and then like coming out as being really judgmental like That's my target audience because that was me like I didn't have an alcohol problem. And I did like a drug addiction or things like that I didn't feel like I might have gone through counseling more than once. But I just felt like you know these other things were like You know I'm trying to talk to the people that are just struggling with the same stuff that all of society is struggling with and I'm just saying like well like try yoga like go to a yoga class. So I think it's absolutely good for men and Gina. I'll send you the little blurb that says that if you say you aren't flexible enough for yoga that's like saying you're too dirty to take a bath. Jeena Cho: [00:40:51] I'm hearing now that that's treatable. Yeah. Matthew Foli: [00:40:57] So I'm going to switch it up and just talk about the benefit of meditation because I actually think for attorneys that the meditation more so than the yoga is the that's the secret weapon that we just have chosen not to tap into. And I think if you know just the consistent meditation and I'll tell you what I do not consistently meditate and I've had like stressful weeks. And Nancy my wife says to me is you meditating. And I say no I'm not. Why would I do that? [00:41:26] So I mean I'm not doing it on a regular basis but I certainly have seen the benefits of it and I just know that it's there for me when I get back into it and I'm going to be doing that with my co-workers. I think I want to preach to them about it. But like for instance like when I had this yoga teacher beginning of 2015 I went to her class and it was like one of my worst days that I can remember. And I chose to be in the corner of the classroom was a small rectangular class and I decided to be in the corner so that I could I could choose not to have people on two sides of me. And she decided to start the class. [00:41:59] It was right after the Monday after the Super Bowl and she said well I read that the Seattle Seahawks had practiced like vision work and then also meditation and so we're going to meditate for the first 10 minutes. And so I just sat there not knowing anything about it. And then it was an hour long yoga class and then the 10 minutes go up and she said well you can certainly stay meditating. You would get all the same benefits that we will get from actually flowing in this yoga class. And so I stayed there for a little bit longer because nothing for me was working in my life at that point. And I just figured well what the hell I might as well try this. [00:42:33] So I stayed for a little bit longer with my eyes closed until I got too self-conscious and then I just picked up where the class was and I saw her after class and I just walked up and I said well what would be the benefits of actually doing an hour-long meditation and she said her eyes got wide and she said well you would be less quick to react to others and more able to respond. You would be able to utilize a pause before you react. [00:43:01] I'm not as judgmental and you know I just thought God I could really use a lot of that my life you know my job. I was such where I was in a position where I felt like I was playing chess with a beginner and I was always five moves ahead. And I would be impatient on the phone calls and I would know exactly where they wanted to get and I was you know I was in the public sector and so they're calling me for help getting to someplace and I'm like you know you don't have to tell me what you need I'll just tell you what you need. Like I mean I knew where you needed to go. Right. And you know meditation is what we could use to just smooth out. [00:43:38] You know it's just it's all the stuff you know and I love those metaphors about how like while you're waiting for the elevator that doesn't come while you're in the checkout line and somebody has to go out and get a carton of eggs you know they leave the line to go get something in front of you while you're waiting for the stoplight. That won't change and you're late to get to the meeting. You know all those times when you can. And so the meditation they say about how well that's just breath work all you need to do is focus on your breath but every yoga class that I go to right now that's what they say at the beginning of class. They say you know this is a breathing class in the poses are secondary. And so I think that it also I think meditation would be more accessible to our audience that finds it difficult to take time out to go to a yoga class. Jeena Cho: [00:44:22] You know I think that's always a challenge. I like actually making it to a yoga class. And I want to just give up high-grade hair for a YouTube yoga instructor its yoga with Ajman. And she has these amazing. And like such a fangirl of her, it is very she is really sharp practices some of them like less than five minutes where you can just get it you know on your iPhone or your TV or your laptop and just do these really sure at this. So I think if you have well you like a full yoga class like an hour long class you know it's really about meeting yourself where you're at. So I think that's another really great thing that's a matter of living in the era that we're living and why there's just so much content available. And so you don't necessarily have to go to your yoga. Matthew Foli: [00:45:17] Jeena I'll send you the one that I like of hers which is yoga at your desk. Jeena Cho: [00:45:21] Oh I love that line use that one all the time. Matthew Foli: [00:45:25] And I think the audience members would appreciate that one too. Yeah, she's great. I love her too. You know she had that 30 days of yoga a couple of years ago and you don't get you. Jeena Cho: [00:45:36] This is January like a year. My husband and I did all 31 days and it was such a great way to start off that year. So I hope she does it again. But if she doesn't like you go check it out. Matthew Foli: [00:45:50] Yeah I know like some days would be 20 minutes and then some days would be 50 minutes and I tried to do it with Nancy for a while and they just gave up and she continued to do it because I wasn't as consistent as she was. But yeah I would I like about her is you really kind of feel like you're getting her authentic personality through the videos and that was something that I was promoted to me by the people that do the business of yoga for yoga journal which was to be a good yoga teacher. You have to be yourself like you like. You should not be a different person outside of the yoga studio as you are inside the yoga studio and they talk about one person that like he swears a lot and he plays rock n roll. Well, that's the type of teacher he should be. Should be swearing in the studio and you should be playing right. You know that's people that's who people gravitate to. So it's when you are yourself in all facets of your life. Elissa Meyer: [00:46:40] Yeah I think the thing about the timing or the place of a yoga practice suits like it's important to see that it will come in cycles right like sometimes you'll be able to maybe go to a studio or take a class somewhere at the YMCA or your gym or whatever and other times it's not going to happen. And so like an allowance for letting that change over time and being flexible with it or maybe sometimes it's like a book or I think there are even like flashcards for yoga there are all these different ways to access it. So I like that point too that you can find it. It's about finding where it meets you know are meeting it where you can. Jeena Cho: [00:47:26] Yeah. So we kind of get ready to wrap up the conversation I wanted to spend a little bit of time talking about what you guys are seeing and I can certainly share my observations just about. Louis is a profession that really embracing the wealthy. You know I was just so thrilled to see that the AP actually published an entire. Bar on well-being for lawyers and they gave every stakeholder to our situation. Law firms law professors lawsuit as you know these different ways that they can help to further lawyer involve things they think that the data is really kind of scary and alarming. [00:48:17] And you know I don't use that word lightly. You know when I heard of our profession is suffering from depression and high levels of stress and anxiety a problematic trend and in a trend that is said and certainly just the most heartbreaking suicides it's and it just feels like we've been talking about these issues for such a long time without much in terms of solutions so you know I guess you notice actually your role as a working with a Sealy's and doing this program is like what have you been observing it just in terms of our wellbeing type of workshops or courses and how it's being incorporated. Elissa Meyer: [00:48:58] Yeah I think there's just it's so exciting to me because there's so much more receptivity you know. Right. There's so much more opportunity I think to incorporate it and like that task force report. Do you know that you're talking about you know when it came out in August this year? I was. I saw it posted right away. I like her into that. I started reading it and I was just thrilled. You know I was just like yes we're finally going to start talking about solutions like we're going to. It's not just going to be terrible reports and data that tells you know these stories about how we're struggling and then we fail to really acknowledge what that means and what we can do about it as a profession. [00:49:36] So like it was exciting especially for me because I flagged all these points in the report where they talk about Citlali as sort of a vehicle for talking about wellbeing and wellness. And I had you know so I think that report just helps kind of validate and give momentum to this. And I've seen that lots of other places you know Minnesota CLV as part of a trade group of sort of national CLV a national group of Seelie providers so state bar associations and private providers. And I think among that group there's a lot more attention to these topics and how to how to incorporate them into programs how to heighten awareness and make information more accessible and so I definitely brought the sort of tipping point of the conversation I know locally here. [00:50:30] I've also seen other leaders in our community who are writing more and talking more about their experiences and the past. One of the past presidents of the head of the county bar association wrote an article I think he kind of wrote a monthly blog post but one of them was about sort of him starting a yoga practice you know kind of unexpectedly finding it and then unexpectedly seeing all these benefits that he wrote about. So just you know more and more people coming forward and being willing to talk about their experience and what they're doing you know sort of how they're struggling and what they're doing about it and sharing those ideas because I think you know it comes back to this point that we sometimes forget when we're like in our heads and just trying to deal with all the stuff in our own lives. But like we're all in this together like we're all here in this profession trying to figure it out together. [00:51:26] And that goes beyond just the profession. I mean that's just a human thing. But it's helpful to remember that and I think work forward under that framework. So the more we can support each other and figure out ways to do this together you know the sort of easier and it becomes awful. Jeena Cho: [00:51:46] Yeah and I think you know it sort of focusing on while being kind hum and much many different labors is right there is like one singular to care for your well-being because it's like multi-dimensional and a one ship that I have been noticing since some of the conferences that I'm going to is that there is the emphasis on activities that involved drinking. So certainly there are certain conferences where they just don't have the open bar happy hours but other conferences are noticing or doing like mornings sort of physical activities like a fun run or yoga and meditation in the morning so that you know they do sort of have the open bar the night before there is this you know I think people feel freer to say well I know I'm actually I signed up for that 10k in the morning so I'm not going to stay up until 2:00 am getting tranquil. [00:52:39] And I think that's really just at least one step in the right direction is just something as simple as like not having all of your social functions. You know the focus on the drinking which I feel like a sort of. So the fabric of our culture as lawyers and you know like from law school. Oh, my grace I like bar reviews on Thursday where we just get drunk and that's really sort of problematic in our profession that sort of the only tool we have in our toolbox are letting go of stress and anxiety. Matthew Foli: [00:53:13] Yeah I agree and especially this time of year with holiday parties. No law firm holiday parties and things like that and gifts that are being sent out. I talked to somebody at my office because they had started out well would you like Matthew would you like to be part of the wine tasting for the gifts that we're going to give away to clients. And I said Well how about like non-alcoholic gifts. What about just like a donation to LCL or a donation to a food shelf or something like that weight where you make a donation in that company's name or something like that. You know it's just like they don't even have to do it. And this is what the whole thing I think with like there really is resilience thing. It's just being the awareness. [00:53:56] You know I just think like we need to end up talking to the three of us but in the audience members to like just voice these other alternatives to show that like I'm at least make the other person think about it rather than just being the unconscious decision that well the only option is the bar. But the only option is the party with alcohol or something like that. You know there are like just about a little about five minutes of meditation and one less beer you know whatever that like. So that means in my mind years and let us unlet instead of six or you know two instead of three. It doesn't matter. It's just like you know that's kind of a little bit of the balance that we're talking about. You know Jean I just want it so Elyssa had brought the report with her and she had it all. [00:54:39] Dog-eared she said to me back in August. And this lead that she's putting on in January practiced well for the Minnesota state Minnesota. That's a full day thing about health and resilience for lawyers. It's kind of patterned upon the this the path to lawyer well-being but the one quote that I found in this thing and this is on page 12 of the article itself it says that many in the legal profession have behaved at best as if their colleague's well-being is none of their business. [00:55:16] And at worst some appeared to believe that supporting well-being will harm professional success. And you know when I read this the first time about when it says they behave as if their colleague's well-being is none of their business. I thought of that as being like one law firm where the partners would not care about their other partner's well-being. But I think you can read it more globally to say that all of us in the profession that we have done we have not done enough to care about other attorneys within the profession because I feel strongly that and you see this like you know when they have the article that's about how this law this law school is now having a mindfulness class. And then you see the letters to the editor which is well all attorneys can just go to the bottom of the ocean and we would all you know the society would be better. [00:56:06] You know I think that you know society as a whole doesn't respect or appreciate the legal profession and then so like why are why the US within do the profession beat up on each other so much. You know we should be protecting and supporting each other. So I think that that's kind of like the bigger issue for me. And you know like you think about the person that's in the law firm that you know all the issues that you go through on a personal level. Right. [00:56:33] Like whether it's like a breakup a relationship or a breakup of a marriage or a miscarriage or a family member that's struggling or a suicide in the family or you know all of those things and you do not want the response to be from like the partner to be to the association which is well you know we really need you to jump to bounce back quickly from that because you know we need you to get your hours up again. You know we should all be supporting each other whether it's within the law firm or outside of the law firm. And part of it takes the courage of the person to not answer the question how are you with just saying I'm fine. You know part of that requires the person. This is what I stumbled onto. If you listen to the podcast terrible thanks for asking. Jeena Cho: [00:57:17] Okay good yeah. Matthew Foli: [00:57:19] Nora Mack and Ernie and that is the whole premise of that podcast are that you know if we were honest with each other we would say I'm having a bad day. You know Prince Harry I don't remember her name. She had a podcast from Britain last year which was this mad world and he was the first guest and he talked about his struggle with mental illness and he said you know on a Friday we would all be better off if we just told somebody close to us that I've had a really crappy day and get it off your chest rather than carry it around with you on the weekend. [00:57:51] So I think we can do all of us on just the individual level we can all do a better job at it. You said this Gina. I listened to your Florida webinars that you did and you talked about that situation where you had somebody another attorney that you were not connecting with and somehow either she said it or you prompted her and she said I had a sick kid this weekend and that was what broke down the barriers for you to connect with her on a more personal level. And then it makes you kind of like then realize that you know what. Like this lease, negotiation doesn't have to end up being attended anything victory for me. Jeena Cho: [00:58:33] Yeah. Even just that idea of like just like me and my dad just recognizing our common humanity like just like me you know I have bad days she has bad days and good days and just like me you know she sometimes has scared and maybe that's the reason why she sent that nasty e-mail and not because she's a terrible person. [00:58:52] So yeah I think we can really sort of give ourselves and each other a little bit of a benefit to going out and to really this that's of empathy and compassion and really feel like is sorely lacking in our society now. Maybe like when I have the guys back. Around you and me because I do kind of enjoy the unfolding conversations and now I'm like I want to come out and see that in good a yoga class. So yeah we are. And my final question and I'll let you guys decide who's going to answer first. Is this the name of this? I've is the entire resilient lawyer. What does it mean to be a resilient boy? Matthew Foli: [00:59:37] It's ego so I'll go first. What it means to me is being aware of the triggers that we face on a regular basis and not necessarily always seeing down before we react poorly but perhaps recognizing them afterward and saying next time I can do better. You know I don't have to answer the phone on an empty stomach. I did it just now. It didn't turn out well. Next time I'm going to eat before I call that person back. So it's like these little things that you can use on a regular basis to promote longevity in this profession because I do not think that the idea of Wake Up Kick-Ass repeat is sustainable in our profession. Jeena Cho: [01:00:25] Yeah I totally agree with. Elissa Meyer: [01:00:28] You know we sort of prepped that this question would be coming so I've been thinking about it a lot and as with many things you know what you find like when you're thinking about something or trying to come up you know trying to reflect on it. Like all these, all these things start coming back at you. So I was reading an article written by a friend last week and she was not talking about lawyers or anything to do with a resilient lawyer but she was writing this article responding to a question about like what-what quality she most wants to teach her children. She has these you know twins that are almost 1 year old. And as she wrote the story you know she came to this point where she was this quality the thing she most wants to impart to her children is resilience and the way she defined it was returning to the self after being banned compressed or stretched. [01:01:25] And I just thought that was so you like. Yes right. Yes. So you know this ability to come back to yourself after something happens or as you gain experience and say like how can I use this. What does it mean to me? You know being able to take it for a lesson and layer it on and if it's useful keep it and if it's not useful you know to figure out where to place it and then move forward. Jeena Cho: [01:01:58] I love that. Thank you so much for taking time to be with us. I appreciate your time and I said I just appreciate the work that you're doing and also thank you so much. Matthew Foli: [01:02:14] You're welcome. This is fun. I'm glad we did this. Elissa Meyer: [01:02:16] Thank you and thanks to you for all that you're doing and all of the wonderful conversations that you're having with people across the country it's really fun to be a listener of your podcasts as well.
