Hey there, it's Rohan. Have you ever felt stuck? Like you'd really like to make a change in your career

or your personal life, but you just couldn't move. Most of us feel stuck at one point or another.

And here's the interesting part. We actually already have the ability to get on stuck.

So why don't we do it? Our coaching partner better up, suggest that because we fear change,

we talk ourselves out of it. Maybe even overthink or overcomplicate the steps we need to take

the new companion show from meditative story, where we invite back one of our guests

to look a little deeper into their story. I love being part of meditative story because it can

really help deepen our understanding of ourselves. We delve into other people's stories and worlds,

and by doing so, we hold up a mirror to our own lives and our own transformative experiences.

Today, we have a special guest returning, Dallas Taylor, the host of 20,000 Hertz and a talented sound

designer and musician. You may remember he joined us a few episodes ago and told us an incredibly

beautiful and bitter sweet story about his transformation through playing the trumpet earlier in his

life when he experienced immense pressure. Today's story is an extra special look behind the scenes

and the intimate interview process we use for meditative story. Dallas was moved by his experience

working with us, and it was a nice surprise for the team to hear that he spoke about that process
