I loved this format. I'm super excited about the meditation challenge. Looking forward to participating. Thanks, Dan and team for your focus on FTBOAB.
I’ll take more of the kind of content in this episode; it feels like “keeping it real!” I can take a Kajillion iterations of hearing/knowing others experience stress, doubt, guilt, anxiety, and say stuff they wish they wouldn’t have, and that it’s still possible to be a pretty darn decent human- in part, by using all these Buddhist-y practices. So, yeah, hearing behind-the-scenes stress is beneficial to me!
Yes, please continue these behind the scenes episodes with DJ! Love that you & your dedicated team continue to innovate! Your meditation parties with Sebene & Jeff were brilliant! Grateful you had the courage to dig deep and align your life’s mission with your deepest values, Dan! Because you continually choose to sit with whatever life throws your way, are brutally honest with yourself, pivot then share your journey, you have made mindfulness practices more accessible for many! Your work has been profoundly impactful, and the resultant ripple effects are serving for the benefit of all beings!
New subscriber joining to comment. I’ve read Dan’s book but I have not listened to the podcast reliably and somehow randomly listened to this episode. Would love to hear about DJ’s meditation retreat with his family, and any recommendations for family meditation retreats / activities. I wish I had started building this skill when I was younger, but really not sure where to start exposing my young kids to meditation in a way that is accessible and age-appropriate for them. Thanks!
I truly enjoyed episode with the look behind the scenes with DJ and you, and the look forward to what’s coming. Dan, I also want you to know that the sessions where DJ takes on real-life issues with the experts and plays clips of their interview are incredibly helpful to me. I hope there will be more of these.And before you get paranoid (!), I think you are an excellent interviewer and I especially appreciate the “mirroring” or summarizations of what you just heard. Looking forward to the Resolutions weeks and month ahead. Happy new year to you.
Dan and DJ, allow to first say a big "thank you" for all you two and the team do. I love the content, both of your voices and what you offer the world. I can't speak for anyone else but I am much better off with danharris.com and 10% Happier in my life. I hope that you continue to do Dan/DJ collaborations! Lastly, this episode that offers a window into what it has taken and continues to take in keeping the "machine" well oiled and running smoothly is perfect timing for me and seems to be the universe serving this up at just the right time. My wife and I are launching our first venture and we're supposed to open in early March so the conversation was especially timely! I hope you all have a wonderful holiday. 2025 will be better having your podcast and writing along for the ride 🙏
Behind the scenes is fascinating - reminiscent of one of my favorite all time shows - Startup (Alex Blumberg re: founding of gimlet media). For most of us in a corporate job, these inside peeks provide inspiration / journeying for the dream of doing our own thing. The angle here is how to do so mindfully.
It’s also why I (as a fellow leadership coach) love the Reboot podcast. Loved when 10% Happier appeared there over the years. Jerry Colonna (and team) is a gift to humanity, in the same vein as you are, Dan (and team).
I enjoyed the behind the scenes podcast, as well as the previous podcasts featuring Dan and DJ talking about a subject. Is there a transcript of this one? I listen on my commute and there were some things I wanted to copy down but didn’t have a chance.
I enjoyed the conversation and found it very relatable. Anyone who has ever been a sole practitioner or a partner in a small business can relate! Daily opportunities for personal growth ;-) I like the structure for the January podcasts; sounds like some practical info is coming our way.

Inspirational stuff. The inner workings sound fascinating. I always love it when you and DJ chat about stuff.

Hi Susan, sorry about that. I just added the transcript to the post!
Good episode. There's the requested feedback. :) Yes, the format works.
I enjoyed hearing about what is to come in January. I look forward to the meditation challenge. January sounds like a great line up to start the year.

Thank you. I enjoyed the conversation and am looking forward to the meditation challenge and the 2025 podcast line up!
