b'NICK STEIN\\xa0was flying high as the executive producer of Border Wars for the National Geographic Channel. It was the most exciting television series he\\u2019d ever been in charge of.

In a world of increasing distractions, what Nick says about being more aware and present in our daily lives really resonates with listeners. Some have reached out and told me that hearing about Nick\'s life-saving experience with meditation has inspired them to try it for the first time -- or to try it again after previous attempts. Since recording this episode, Nick has been certified as a Mindfulness Facilitator by the Engaged Mindfulness Institute in Massachusetts and has begun leading mindfulness workshops with companies and organizations throughout Southern California.
