Summary

When does the student become the teacher?

Jason Pickard made his mark in the world of finance as a very successful portfolio manager at a large hedge fund, but making that incredibly lucrative living left him sick, morbidly obese and psychologically “small.”

Learn more about Jason’s life and work with Paul at the University of Virginia’s Contemplative Sciences Center.
