In this episode, Jake Hounds candidly discusses the challenges and triumphs of getting older while maintaining a youthful spirit and an open mind. Drawing on the spiritual works of Michael A. Singer, Jake reveals his shortcomings and how meditation helps him curb his all-to-human reactions like anger and frustration.
Trying to age gracefully is a challenge, and as we hear, Jake doesn't want to end up an Abe Simpson from "The Simpsons," yelling at clouds. Jake explores the common pitfalls of becoming a curmudgeon and offers strategies to avoid falling into that trap.
Through genuine reflection, Jake invites listeners to embrace the inevitable with optimism and resilience. Listen to "The Old Man and The Cloud" for Jake's humorous version of Zen-like calm.

I don’t mind a bit
