Across the street, I see a white van come to a stop.

In big letters on the side, it says,

dial a ride.

The van door opens,

and an elderly woman with a walker slowly exits with a wave to the driver.

I find myself feeling jealous.

That's the kind of service I want and need.

That night, I searched dial a ride online. It's a service operated by the city to provide transportation for the elderly and the disabled. I wonder, am I eligible?

Alex Morris has spent much of his life pretending. Prior to becoming a writer for Wait Once Business Podcast Masters of Scale,

he performed and taught improv comedy in London, putting on the guise of various absurd characters

night after night.

But his habit for hiding his true self started long before he ever stepped on a stage.

In this week's episode, Alex shares a story about his struggles living with a degenerative

eye disease and the lengths to which he would go to pretend he didn't need help.

In this series, we combine immersive first-person stories, breathtaking music, and mindfulness

prompts, so that we may see our lives reflected back to us in other people's stories,

and that can lead to improvements in our own inner lives.

From Wait What, this is meditative story.

I'm Rohan and I'll be your guide. The body relaxed.

The body relaxed.

The body breathing.

Your senses open.
