I am joined by John Macadams, a dear friend, colleague, and member of the Shambala Buddist Community. With over 25 years of experience in the Hollywood film industry and as a volunteer Buddhist chaplain in LA county sheriff’s jails, John shares about the conditions of prison and his insight into radical responsibility and transformation, even in the toughest of environments.

In this podcast we further discuss:

The interplay between hustling for one’s livelihood and lifelong meditation practice.
The role of compassion and empathy in self-regulation and trauma.
How personal responsibility translates into collective responsibility.
Taking charge of one’s own life, and giving back to the community.
