My guest this week is Mark Brown. Ever since winning a region-wide poetry contest in fourth grade, coastal Virginia native Mark Brown, has been orbiting the world of writing. After graduating with a degree in film and settling down in Nashville, Tennessee, Mark found a niche creating healthcare-based video ads, but after a few years found that that kind of life didn't pair well with his life as a dedicated father. So, he decided to do a major change and apply his talents to the world of children's books, more specifically to the Zen Pig Universe. Mark wanted his son Noble to learn the life-changing power of values like gratitude, mindfulness, self-forgiveness way before he did. Quickly, Mark found that he wasn't alone. Zen Pig was a breakaway hit, helping parents articulate sometimes abstract concepts into easy-to-understand language, paired with beautiful minimalist art. The Zen Pig Universe continues to grow each year with 12 titles already available, and more releasing soon! In this episode, Mark and I discuss how mindfulness, gratitude, and self-forgiveness are superpowers for adults and kids. More than ever, we need these simple tools that help us stay in the moment. The Zen Pig books have taken these concepts and whittled them down to the most concise, acute gems that are accessible and useful for all ages.  Episode Intro … 00:00:30 Mark Brown & Making Mindfulness Accessible … 00:01:15 Children are Innately Present … 7:08 Zen Pigs for Any Age … 00:12:25 How to Be Present & Compound Effect of Mindfulness … 00:16:40 Inserting Gratitude … 00:24:50 Flipping Kids to a Positive Outlook with Enjoyable, Peaceful Content … 00:30:20 Future of Zen Pigs … 00:35:10 Zen Pigs and Free Resources … 38:30 Episode Wrap up … 39:35 Connect with Dr. Nicole Beurkens on...

Episode 41 Zen Pig with children's author Mark Brown Please join me in welcoming to the podcast Mark Brown, the author of a series of books that feature Zen Pig as the main character. Zen Pig teaches young readers the importance of gratitude, justice, empathy, compassion, and other soft skills that are important for people of all ages to embrace. Mark initially wrote the first book for his son, Noble. He wanted to ensure his son learned gratitude at an early age – not later in life as he had – and Noble's behavior and curiosity have inspired the remaining titles. Admittedly, mindfulness skills often prove challenging for adults to learn, but Mark says Zen Pig demonstrates mindfulness in a straightforward, easy-to-understand manner. Mark Brown's vision is for families to enjoy the books and for teachers and school systems to incorporate mindfulness activities into classroom settings on an ongoing basis. To make doing so easy for teachers, Mark and his team have created free lessons plans teachers can download. www.ZenPigBook.com https://www.turnkeyteacher.com/ E:mail MarkBrown@ZenPigBook.com https://www.facebook.com/ZenPigBook/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQBjmk7i25Y https://www.instagram.com/zenpigbook/ Adventures with Grammy Newsletter To sign up, visit https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/su/7ZleyB4 You will receive a micro-book that provides directions for a super fun activity to do with your children and grandchildren!
