Welcome to Episode #77 of the Fight for a Happy Life podcast with special guest, Paul Read. If you don’t follow Paul’s work as a Tai Chi instructor, you should! Many people talk about expressing themselves through their martial arts training, but Paul is one of the few who actually does! I’ve been of a fan of Paul’s from afar for a few years, so it was an honor to finally sit down with the man who calls himself the Teapot Monk. Join our conversation for insights on— * How to find happiness * The pleasure of being lost * How to be a better student and teacher * The pros and cons of cross-training * Finding your voice * Commercialism in the martial arts Whew! That’s a lot! 🙂 NOTE: I apologize in advance for the audio quality of this show. Technology is changing fast and I can’t always keep up! But if you are willing to suffer a little, I think you’ll reap great rewards.
