@nopranablem - Sharing a podcast I did with Scott @britton on his book

Sharing a podcast I did with Scott @britton on his book Conscious Accomplishment! Scott and I have both spent a lot of time thinking about how inner work and building things can fit together without dividing your life into separate compartments. One tension we explore is the conception that one must choose between external achievement and inner development. A lot of people go hard on work, burn out, and then move toward meditation or inner work as "recovery". But they often bring those burnout attitudes to that recovery, and don't integrate the learning from that recovery period back into the way they work. Scott makes the case that work, ambition, and all the reactions they bring up can become part of your practice, and doing so will actually be far deeper for most than living on "permanent retreat". I fully agree, and it's a view we try to impart at @attncopilot. It draws from nondual traditions, and we go into frameworks and practices that make that view more applicable. This podcast is the first for a new "season" I'm doing with the No Pranablem podcast!
