Well today is the day, today is the day when I got to interview Dan Harris of the 10% happier podcast and book and app and it's as good as I hoped it would be.

Dan of course is a journalist, had a panic attack on live television, which led him to try and something,

the otherwise never would have had considered meditation and he's now basically years later become a meditation guru, a meditation evangelist, a real self-help guy and I don't think any resource out there available has meant more to me and done more for me than Dan's work and his podcast.

The past four years have not been easy for me losing my job struggles in my marriage with my kids the pandemic and everything else that we're all dealing with and there's just really been no resource that I've turned to more than the 10% happier podcast.

I've tried to share a lot of what I've learned there with you here on stand up as well as some of the guests that Dan interviews and hope to interview more of them but today it's Dan Harris Day and I'm really excited to bring this conversation with you.

I'm skipping the news today is anybody mad anybody upset normally I do a news update Monday through Thursday I'll get back to it tomorrow but today was an extra long day with lots going on including this conversation with Dan Harris that I really wanted to get right.

So I'm going to get right to it like I said, Dan's meant a lot to me his work has and I tell him that right here at the top.

I hope that you will listen to the podcast follow him on all the social media platforms.

Check out the 10% happier app all the information for Dan's work is in the show notes to today's episode.

I'm real grateful to Dan for joining me. So let's do it right now with Dan Harris.

Oh man, there he is. Dan Harris so excited to have you. Thank you so much for doing this with me. I so appreciate you.

Great to see you. I have studio and V your studio looks super professional.

Yeah, I think if you work harder at your career, you can get to a home depot shed.

You're not there yet some day Dan, I believe in you.

I wanted to wait till I press records to tell you how much grateful I am to you and your team at your podcast

because the last three years, almost four of my life have been like some of the hardest losing my job challenges with my marriage, the pandemic.

But your podcast and your work and your guests and your practice have created one for me a practice that has saved me over and over and I mean it from straight from my heart to you.

I know these kind of compliments are sometimes challenging, but I hope that you'll take it in the nature and I am so grateful to you for your work.

Nobody has done more in media than you to improve my life. Thank you to your whole team.

I really appreciate that immensely. Thank you right back at you.

How are you doing now? You mentioned getting fired and also having some marriage problems. How are you?

It's like all those things are still a lot of work to keep going. I'm a self-employed.
