 SHOW DESCRIPTION: Today it seems mindfulness is all the rage, mindful this, mindful that, and even mindful running…well, that’s us. But if you’ve ever wondered what’s too this mindfulness, or why in the world you need something else that doesn’t fit in your schedule then do we have the show for you!

Today we’ll be talking with Matt Tenney, business expert, and author of my favorite new mindfulness book, The Mindfulness Edge: How to Rewire Your Brain for Leadership and Personal Excellence Without Adding to Your Schedule, and author of Serve to Be Great: Leadership Lessons from a Prison, a Monastery, and a Boardroom.

Matt Tenney's Inspiring Story: From Prison Inmate to Compassionate Mindfulness Teacher

And that’s just what I want to talk with Matt about, what’s mindfulness, why is it so important, and how in the world we fit it into our days!

That plus we’ll talk about riding the Poo Bus or the #2, The happiest person alive, and why getting locked in the brig, just may be the greatest gift in the world.
