Roger Martin is an incredibly deep, beautiful, powerful human being I received the distinct pleasure of meeting this year. During our time on the Friendship Bench together, I began to view him very much as a teacher. In our conversation, we discovered we shared similar moments of awakening when we realized that life as we imagined was actually a creation our minds, an illusion, and completely changeable. Roger shares some of his early story, and the moments that got him asking the question that helped him change his entire experience: “Why Do You Experience Life As You Do?” (Or, “Why do I experience life as I do?”) This exploration centers in the ideas of curiosity, connection, waking up, and finally feeling peace after seemingly a lifetime without it. If you find yourself in a lifetime of pain, unable to shift from it, I hope you can listen to this episode, and hear something maybe a little bit differently than you have before. Roger is the author of the publication Helpful Questions Change Lives. He’s the Co-Founder of The Mindset Difference, helping leaders be at their best, irrespective of the circumstances they face.
