\\nZat Baraka is a dear friend of mine.
\\nI first met him about 9 years ago in Los Angeles before he was a renowned men\\u2019s coach. It\\u2019s been fascinating to see behind the scenes of his journey from being a man already engaged in a decades-long Buddhist spiritual practice, to a renowned teacher and coach helping men, in particular, get out of our heads and live more fully connected to our own bodies, our emotions, so that we may live more connected to other men, to our friends and families, to our partners \\u2026 to our lives.
\\nIn fact, that\\u2019s what I most admire and appreciate about Zat, and our friendship, is that no matter what\\u2019s coming up between us \\u2013 and we\\u2019ve had a few pretty intense moments of disagreement where I\\u2019ll be so bold as to say less wise men would have either killed each other or simply never spoken again \\u2013 but no matter what it is, we\\u2019re always able to own our own emotions, our own stories, or we often say, our own shit, before trying to resolve the details of the conflict \\u2026 and that mutual capacity has allowed our friendship, our respect and love for each other to consistently deepen.
\\nZat models this practice beautifully, which in my experience, is essential for ANY relationship \\u2013 intimate or otherwise \\u2013 to truly thrive.
\\nIn this episode, Zat and I explore what it really means to know yourself, in tangible, practical ways that actually make life \\u2013 and love \\u2013 better in most every way.
