The other week I was interviewed by Olivier Larvor and Tim Brownson of the Raw Voices podcast. You can listen to the podcast here.

Olivier seems to be a fan of mine:

A truly enlightening podcast with Buddhist and meditation teacher Bodhipaksa Dharmacari, author of the book ”Living as a river: finding fearlessness in the face of change”

Prepare to be transported by Bodhipaksa’s stories, wisdom and soft-creamy voice.

Such a cool and humourous guy!

And his voice…

Damn!

Silky.

Ok fine, I am jealous!

The interview was rather rambling, since I was responding to questions and points that Olivier and Tim were bringing up. It’s partly about meditation and how it works, and partly autobiographical.

Olivier has a rather lovely French accent. He described himself as an “HR Project Manager, musician in an obscure indie band, guitar collector, ICF certified coach, failed writer, father of two boys and most of a time, an arrogant ass.”

I have to say he didn’t come across as arrogant in the slightest.

Tim is someone I know, since he’s been one of my meditation students for years. He’s English (you’re getting a great variety of accents in this podcast) and is a life coach. He blogs at A Daring Adventure and Coach the Life Coach. He’s a lovely guy. One of the things I most admire about him is that his teaching is evidence-based. He’s very happy to to challenge conventional wisdoms that many other life coaches accept uncritically.

The rest of the podcasts look interesting as well, although I haven’t had a chance to listen to any of them yet.
