115 | Bob Roth on Transcendental Meditation, Why He Loves Detroit & more!

Summary: I'm excited today to bring you guys another duo interview episode around the theme of mindfulness and meditation practices. First I talk with Bob Roth of the David Lynch Foundation and the Transcendental Meditation movement. Most of you guys know that a few months ago I started a TM practice (Transcendental Meditation). I'm not a huge fan of mediation but this practice has seriously made an impact in my life and is a tool that has worked for me when so many other meditation techniques never stuck. Because of this I wanted to bring you guys an episode with Bob Roth, one of the main leaders of the TM movement, and dive deep into a conversation around what TM is, why it's so beneficial, how it works and why it's been popular with millions of people around the world including Jerry Seinfeld, Ellen Degeneres and more. Bob talks with us about all these super interesting things around TM but our conversation also goes into why his favorite city is Detroit (where I'm living!) and some funny stories around his favorite fruit. At the end of the episode Dr. Geoff Soloway of MindWell give us insight into 'mindful wellness' along with some practices you can start using today to be more mindful in your life. MindWell also has a 30 Day Challenge program that you can signup for with a friend. You can read more about it in the show notes below. This episode around meditation and mindfulness is definitely one of my favorites and I hope you guys enjoy listening in!
