The podcast is hosted by my buddy Ed Liu. Ed is one of the first people who’s just let me talk in a broader sense about spirituality and the ascendent path of walking the walk on top of talking the talk. In this chat, we encapsulate a breakdown of walking the yellow brick road of life wisdom into the container of studying to becoming a Jedi. Quite standard stuff. Ed and I will have much more chats in the future together.
