50: Let's talk about Shaming. Nov 08, 2019

We have to examine our assumptions about shaming. Next time someone shames you, try to feel it first, then thoughtfully take responsibility, respond, and don't villainize the other person. Let's all try to be more mindful in our lives and listen. Podcast produced by: Vanessa Boehm; Music by Adam Agee, recorded live at Walk the Talk Show events.

Show notes

In this episode, Waylon discusses what we should do if the world is going to hell. "There's no difference between a pessimist who says, 'It's all over, don't bother trying to do anything, forget about voting, it won't make a difference,' and an optimist who says, 'Relax, everything is going to turn out fine.' Either way the results are the same. Nothing gets done." ~ Yvon Chouinard. Podcast produced by: Vanessa Boehm; Music by Adam Agee, recorded live at Walk the Talk Show events.

44: Idiot Compassion. Sep 27, 2019

Show notes

"Idiot compassion is the highly conceptualized idea that you want to do good….But that doesn't mean to say that you have to be gentle all the time.

Your gentleness should have heart, strength. In order that your compassion doesn't become idiot compassion, you have to use your intelligence. Otherwise, there could be self-indulgence of thinking that you are creating a compassionate situation when in fact you are feeding the other person's aggression. If you go to a shop and the shopkeeper cheats you and you go back and let him cheat you again, that doesn't seem to be a very healthy thing to do for others." ~ Chogyam Trungpa

When should I go to battle and when should I let it go?" Podcast produced by: Vanessa Boehm; Music by Adam Agee, recorded live at Walk the Talk Show events.
