In our latest episode, Paul and I dove deep into the topic of teachers and their impact on our personal and professional lives. We discussed the three levels of Buddha treasure, the importance of engaging with formal teachings, and how business coaching can provide practical guidance for growth and awakening in the work world. Paul shared his journey as a Zen teacher and how he now helps entrepreneurs and coaches find their true potential. We also reflected on the teachers who have shaped our own lives, from family members to mentors in sports and business. The key takeaway? Finding a trustworthy and collaborative relationship with a teacher is essential for effective learning and development. So, whether you're seeking spiritual guidance or professional growth, remember the power of teachers in your life. Thanks for tuning in to the Game of Zen!
