Hey there, it's Rohan. While Earth Day may only be one day in April, we can find ways to

celebrate the natural world every day of the year. Perhaps you listen to Varshani Prakash's

meditative story about this very topic. So, I want to tell you about another podcast that

helps me cultivate this mindset. It's called The Science of Happiness. On each episode,

psychologists, daka-coutman and guests explore big questions like how can we tune into feelings

of awe and can hope lead to action? The Science of Happiness podcast explores where climate,

hope and science intersect. Listen now wherever you get your podcasts.

Gradually, I find I can relate to people a little bit more. I start to open up.

Every week I see new faces on the hill. Folks we see out in the hood,

when we're out riding around, come up and have a look. It's like we're building a real community

up here. It feels me with a sense of purpose. Eventually, my longing to be elsewhere lives.

Now I just long to be here on the hill. With all these horses.

In today's episode, we're back exploring cowboy culture, but through fresh lens,

reimagining a quintessential American icon, born and raised in South Central Los Angeles,

a neighborhood rife with gang violence and drugs. Guan Featherstone was determined to go his own way.

Inspired by the cowboys he watched on TV as a boy, he lives his life by a code,

sharing courage and kindness. Guan's life was transformed by learning to ride horses at a small

stable, hidden deep in South Central. Today, as a founder of Urban Saddles, he shares his

passion for horsemanship with his community, living the cowboy code. In this series, we combine

immersive first-person stories and breathtaking music with the science-backed benefits of mindfulness

practice. From weight to art and thrive global, this is meditative story.

I'm Rohan and I'll be your guide.
