Description
Mindfulness is a $2 billion industry. It's in apps, corporate programs, retreats, and workplace wellness modules. And men are more burned out, disconnected, and distracted than ever.
So is mindfulness actually working?
Sean Fargo is a former Buddhist monk who spent two years in a Thai monastery before deciding the world needed these teachings more than the monastery needed another monk.
His platform, has reached over 20 million people. He trained under the teachers at Spirit Rock. And he's the man who certified Jon as a mindfulness meditation teacher.
This conversation goes beyond the apps and the retreats into what's actually blocking men from presence — grief they've never acknowledged, purpose they've never defined, and values they've never chosen for themselves. Sean ends the episode with a live mindfulness practice. Don't skip it.
IN THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL LEARN:
Why the real problem isn't pace or tech — it's that most men are moving faster than they can feel
The difference between outer purpose and inner purpose — and why outer goals collapse under pressure
How grief is silently blocking thousands of men's meditation practice — and what to do about it
What the Buddha called the most powerful mindfulness practice: awareness of death
Why Sean wants to go out of business — and what that vision says about where mindfulness needs to go
How to ask yourself the one question that cuts through all the noise: what would I like for myself?
