In this episode of Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing, Jonathan is joined by Gary Lipsky, founder of Break of Day Capital, to explore what it takes to succeed in multifamily real estate syndication. Gary shares how he went from buying his first fixer-upper in Los Angeles to managing over 3,200 apartment units across Arizona. With an emphasis on transparency, due diligence, and investor education, Gary discusses how his firm evaluates markets, selects value-add properties, and builds long-term relationships with investors. They dive deep into the differences between Class A and B assets, what makes a market like Tucson attractive for syndicators, and how Gary's entrepreneurial background helped him scale while staying focused. The conversation also covers how passive investors should evaluate operators, what strong communication looks like, and why a conservative, consistent approach beats chasing the highest returns. In this episode, you will hear: What drew Gary to the Tucson market, and how he evaluates its long-term potential Key indicators he looks for when assessing Class B value-add properties Traits of trustworthy syndicators and how passive investors can vet them effectively The role of conservative underwriting in building a sustainable investment strategy How consistent execution and strong communication help operators earn investor confidence Ways to educate potential investors without overselling or overpromising Follow and Review: We'd love for you to follow us if you haven't yet.

Dave Asprey, the father of biohacking, joins me to explore the revolutionary concept of meditation for the modern brain in his new book "Heavily Meditated." Dave shares his journey from being a stressed, overweight, and unhappy tech executive to discovering how ancient wisdom combined with cutting-edge technology can permanently remove emotional triggers. We dive deep into why traditional meditation is outdated for today's brains and how different meditation techniques can be matched to your specific needs – just as you'd choose the right diet or exercise for your goals. Dave reveals his powerful "reset process" that helped me overcome my own trauma years ago at 40 Years of Zen, explaining how we can finally free ourselves from reactive patterns that drain our energy and relationships. It's a game-changer for perimenopause and menopause when hormonal shifts leave us with less margin for emotional triggers.   What you'll learn: Why traditional meditation approaches may not work for your unique brain and how to choose the right technique for your specific needs How our bodies operate on an "F-word" hierarchy (fear, food, fertility, friend, forgiveness) that drives our reactions before we can even think The reset process to permanently eliminate triggers that have been draining your energy for decades Why women in perimenopause and menopause particularly need these tools as hormonal shifts reduce their capacity to handle unresolved trauma How combining biohacking with emotional healing creates true wisdom – the perfect foundation for becoming a respected elder Ways to identify your earliest trauma patterns without extensive therapy or analysis The importance of energy management for both physical and emotional health after 40 Love the Podcast?

In this bold and eye-opening message, Rev. Lee Wolak—author of The Power in You, Zen practitioner, and teacher of Religious Science—delivers a spiritual truth many avoid: crisis isn't punishment, it's purpose.

In this video, discover how moments of disruption can be the greatest catalysts for awakening, transformation, and spiritual growth. Rev. Lee challenges you to stop waiting for life to shake you into action and instead, choose growth from conscious awareness. This is a direct call to wake up, take ownership, and align with your highest self—not in reaction to crisis, but by your own spiritual intention.

In this episode I host a dialogue between Stephen Snyder, meditation teacher and author, and Mark Mininberg, Zen master and dharma heir to Bernie Glassman. Stephen and Mark discuss their new podcast interview series, “Anatomy of Awakening”, in which they engage in peer-to-peer trialogue with other teachers of enlightenment. Stephen and Mark reveal why they chose the teachers they have featured, the degree to which various claims to spiritual attainment played a part in their selection, and how they navigated conversations with teachers from other Buddhist sects. Stephen and Mark reflect on the increase in meditation teachers who claim spiritual awakening, recall their own trainings in Zen communities in which discussion of enlightenment was taboo, and emphasise the need for rigorous training under an experienced guide. Stephen and Mark also warn about teachers who overestimate their abilities, offer suggestions to aspiring gurus, and emphasis the whole body commitment required to truly attain Buddhist awakening. … Video version: https://www.guruviking.com/podcast/ep308-anatomy-of-awakening-stephen-snyder-mark-mininberg Also available on Youtube, iTunes, & Spotify – search ‘Guru Viking Podcast'.

From a young age, she knew she did not belong to the human world of constant conflicts and duality, and longed to return to what she calls the Awakened Home, free from suffering, rooted in truth, love, and clarity. She became a Buddhist nun at 18 and explored countless teachings and methods, but none of that helped her return to Awakened Home. In April 2001, she fully awakened in Thailand, returning to the boundless wisdom and compassion of the Awakened Source, and completely shattering the source of the ego system. Since that moment, she has devoted her life to helping people of all backgrounds awaken their true nature.

Join me for a 4 hour gravel ride with aerobars on a singlespeed in Texas! Show Notes: History of and how to best enjoy one of these "ride along" shows. Assioma power pedals How gravel tires open up more paved but sketchy connector roads Sharrows! Reading off power and cadence while climbing. Dropping into Lick Creek Park with heavy gravel Garmin Forerunner 970 killer features review Ribbon Snakes and Green Snakes Thank you Lachlan Morton for making pink jerseys cool. Coasting more on longer rides will actually make you go faster in the end. How ranchers turn flatbed railroad cars into small bridges. Riding upright when super hot might overall be faster than low and aero due to the cooling. Rock Bros arm coolers are interesting - solid on one side and mesh on the other. For sun block / cooling. Fueling trick - clear bottles so you can see how much you've used to help stay on track. Meshy stuff WAY better in hot conditions. Dramatic cooling effect compared to classic cycling kit. Garmin 970 added rucking, sapphire glass, flashlight, speaker and microphone, but no voice notes... Fenix is overkill for most people, and that adds weight and makes it a poor running watch. Front-facing collision warning radar would be cool device since you can hit a car with your head down. Story how I was friends with the inventor of Morf-tech bars and he died from a crash like that. Interesting nuance of singlespeeding - sometimes faster on long rides by capping effort on flats and downhills? "Unhurried" vs. "Slow Living". Difference is intention and middle pathing. Getting water from country gas station. Cool soundscape. Surrounded by Roadies. Drifting in gravel turns is FUN. Uhurried more like Taoism "Flow" than Slow Living is. Miniature compass on handlebars end up being better than I thought! Use to better work with wind and navigation, no batteries. How I'm using my Garmin 945 watch to send HR to my bike computer. People are regressing in response to constant news agitation. Need more calm. Do you reeeeaaaally need a smart watch? "Unhurried" co-opted by Christian movement? Religion vs. Philosophy in Communism. Nishiki is 90s aluminum. Rear end is stiff like a jackhammer. Taking a heat break in a cornfield. How red-shouldered blackbirds are territorial and dive bomb you. How I got the nickname “Cool Breeze”. What different formats work best for Instagram, YouTube, and podcasts. Pausing to do things right when being unhurried instead of putting things off for later because you are in a rush. Trimming workouts down in time if tired instead of just going easier. Set an end time for your workouts - more important than a start time. You want to be extremely relaxed in aero position. Why flat terrain wears you out more than rolling. Singlespeed flatbar gravel bike is oddly like 80s BMX bikes. The truth about drinking from the hose and not being let in the house. How we get rolling hills with steep gully walls. How to "row" your bike up steep hills. Trick to keep your water bladder in the freezer to stop mold and also have ice water on your hot rides. More on "time capping" to give you more free time. The coolest thing about gravel isn't the gravel, it's the lack of cars. Rear radar apps on your phone will play the alerts through your headphones too. Get the swimming version of Shokz headphones if you want them to be truly sweatproof. Signs of nerve damage in feet. How I got the nickname "Cool Breeze". Cooling down under a freeway bridge. 91 degrees in the shade. Using cold soda to cool down faster from the inside out. Fueling 300 calories per hour using table sugar and a little bit of Gatorade powder and sodium citrate. Zen story of being unhurried to become enlightened. Hitting singletrack and pipeline road. Signs you're trying to do too much. The "shoot first, point later" concept of videoing your rides with an Insta360 camera. Lionel Sanders won a 70.3 Ride stats - 97 degrees, 63 miles, 4 hours and 11 minutes. Wrap up and family news!

In this episode of Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing, Jonathan welcomes Patrick Grimes, founder of Passive Investing Mastery and Invest on Main Street. Patrick shares how a painful first deal during the 2008 crash reshaped his investing mindset, leading him to focus on long-term wealth accumulation, cash flow, and true portfolio diversification. What began with single-family rentals eventually expanded into large multifamily syndications, recession-resilient markets, and alternative assets, including litigation finance and debt funds. Patrick walks listeners through how he helps investors build a balanced portfolio by spreading risk across multiple, non-correlated asset classes. He also highlights why active professionals don't need to become landlords to grow wealth, and how the right mix of passive investments can lead to financial security and freedom. If you want to diversify beyond traditional real estate while keeping property in your portfolio, this episode is packed with practical strategies and new perspectives. In this episode, you will hear: The early investment mistake that shaped Patrick's long-term approach to wealth building What makes multifamily syndications a powerful tool for scalable, passive income Where litigation finance fits into a diversified real estate investment portfolio Ways debt funds provide stable returns outside of traditional equity deals Differences between passive and active investing for busy professionals The role of education and networking in avoiding common investor pitfalls Follow and Review: We'd love for you to follow us if you haven't yet.

People with extra physical challenges - disabilities, chronic illnesses, or advanced age - often find it impossible to participate fully in Zen practice without special accommodations. Seated meditation (zazen) can be painful, and the demands of silent meditation retreats (sesshin) can be prohibitive. However, an important part of Zen practice - especially sesshin - is how everyone follows the forms together, doing the same things at the same times. The whole idea is to minimize the need to exercise personal choice, and to use a certain amount of physical discomfort to bring us up against the existential matter of our lives. How can Sanghas support the Zen practice of people with physical challenges while preserving what is supportive to those without them?

In this powerful spiritual talk, Rev Lee Wolak explores the transformational truth that power begins the moment you take full ownership of your story. Whether it's past choices, perceived mistakes, or personal triumphs, accepting all of it without blame or denial is the key to reclaiming your inner strength. When you say, “This is mine,” you stop being a passive observer and step fully into the role of creator. This message is for anyone ready to break free from victim consciousness, embrace radical responsibility, and awaken the courage to rewrite their life with clarity and purpose. Rev Lee shares spiritual insights rooted in Zen awareness, metaphysical truth, and personal empowerment to guide you back to your true self.

Greetings writers! Sarina here. Earlier in May I was surfing social media, as one does, when I came across a story about children's author Erica Perl and an ill-fated school visit. Her scheduled visit to a school was abruptly canceled. After asking a few questions, it was determined that a single parent had objected to… Well, it's hard to say. We'll let Erica tell her story. But you should know that Ms. Perl's twenty years of book publishing have included such salacious titles as When Cookie Met Carrot and A Whale of a Tea Party. (

Is restlessness a hindrance or a catalyst to personal progress? Can we go off recipe and create our own  practice from whatever ingredients intrigue us? What creative fruits lie waiting for us in the gaps between what we think and what we see?? Find out here!

Mitch Jeserich reads excerpts from the classic writings The Way of Chuang Tzu translated by Thomas Merton. Thomas Merton composed a series of his own versions of the classic sayings of Chuang Tzu, the most spiritual of Chinese philosophers. Chuang Tzu, who wrote in the fourth and third centuries B.C., is the chief authentic historical spokesperson for Taoism and its founder Lao Tzu (a legendary character known largely through Chuang Tzu's writings). Indeed it was because of Chuang Tzu and the other Taoist sages that Indian Buddhism was transformed, in China, into the unique vehicle we now call by its Japanese name―Zen.   Excerpts from THE WAY OF CHUANG TZU by Thomas Merton, copyright ©1965 by The Abbey of Gethsemani. Reproduced by permission of New Directions Publishing Corp. The post The Taoist & Christian: The Way of Chuang Tzu appeared first on KPFA.

In part two of this deep conversation, two “happy” masters of meditation, Loch Kelly and Henry Shukman, explore a range of topics and questions through the lens of awakening as a natural human potential. What can we learn about how to shift into awake mind and heart to live with and recover from injury and long Covid? What is effortless focus and flow, aka Flow Know? And why is it so important for meditation and mindfulness practitioners to understand the distinctions between conventional mindfulness and more direct paths like Zen and Effortless Mindfulness? And finally, what are the benefits of new emergent spiritual models that integrate nondual mindfulness and Internal Family Systems? How does it work and how are models like this different from more traditional approaches to waking up and growing up? Loch and Henry Shukman engage with these questions and more.Part 1 RecapIn part one, Loch and Henry Shukman explore their similar and unique approaches to awakening. With delight and curiosity, they share some of their own initial awakening experiences. They also discuss their process of discovering and unfolding and how they share it with students. To this end, they unpack and illuminate the contemplative art and science of Inquiry and Koans as ways to shift out of the chattering mind and into our already awake heart mind. Henry talks about his experience with Zen Koans and Loch shares his Mahamudra approach to inquiry. Loch calls this Glimpsing, and it emphasizes immediate experiential pointers which help practitioners directly realize their already awake nature. Henry Shukman BioHenry Shukman is a meditation teacher, poet, author, and co-founder of the single-path meditation app The Way. His most recent books are Original Love: The Four Inns on the Path of Awakening (HarperOne) and the Zen memoir One Blade of Grass.

Have you ever felt the pressure to fit in, stay quiet, and follow the crowd—even when something inside you knows it's not your truth? In this bold and eye-opening spiritual talk, Rev. Lee Wolak, author of The Power in You, challenges the deep subconscious programming that keeps us trapped in herd mentality. Drawing from Zen practice, Religious Science, and raw personal insight, Rev. Lee explores how we are conditioned to fear authenticity, resist questioning, and trade our power for approval. This is a call to reclaim your spiritual authority, rise above the noise, and live in alignment with your inner wisdom. If you're ready to uncover what's real, reject the illusion of conformity, and lead a life of bold self-awareness, this talk is your wake-up call.
