## Resource

J takes a moment to check in with listeners and reflect on the closing of his yoga center, the state of his professional career, and his plans for the future. He discusses the factors that led to letting go of his commercial space and moving his weekly classes into his living room, sober assessments and hard truths regarding personal brands and business marketing, contradictions between career pursuits and paternal responsibilities, expanding ones perspective to be open to new possibilities, faith in God, and remaining rooted in the wonder of being.
