It’s time for Afternoon Tea, and this week Sami is joined by author, motivational speaker, and Mindvalley founder Vishen Lakhiani. They start with a chat about Vishen’s transition from working at a thriving Silicon Valley startup to becoming a meditation teacher, and ultimately starting the company he runs today. He gives insights into meditation techniques that really work, shares the key lessons he’s learned for starting a business, and explains why it’s important to celebrate every small victory along the way. They discuss the current state of American culture, including how it’s connected to echo chambers and the primitive mind. Finally, Sami asks the Four Questions and they close the show with a conversation about how to save the planet (no big deal). Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
