Your Host, Jono
For 20+ years I’ve hosted mindful events and leadership training for over 1 million people with some of the top business leaders and wisdom teachers of our time — including Eckhart Tolle, Brené Brown, Lawrence Levy, Tara Brach and the founders of Google’s most successful leadership program.
However, in recent years, the richest medicine of my life has been the loving hands of others. People who have offered the space for deep listening, sharing grief and reconnecting with my aliveness.
This new passage began during a particularly difficult time in my life.
