About this listen
Sometimes we do everything “right” —
we meditate, we work hard, we travel, we seek calm —
and yet, discomfort remains.
In this episode, I share a quiet moment from a Buddhist temple in Japan, where sitting with discomfort became the lesson itself.
Through rain, incense, solo travel, and a brief exchange with a monk, this episode explores:
Why happiness and fulfillment don’t come just because conditions look right
The difference between fixing discomfort and being curious about it
What humility really means — not self-doubt, but humility about what we think we know
How the same patterns show up in work, life, and leadership
This is an invitation to slow down, soften your grip, and practice presence — even when it’s uncomfortable.
A reflective, meditative episode at the heart of Work, Life & Zen.
