Today’s guest on recipes for life is Andy Gilman. Andy is Executive Director of the Agora Foundation, a non-profit endeavor providing great books, seminars and other educational opportunities to promote civil discourse on complicated subjects. Andy has served on non-profit boards and committees ranging from the Chamber of Commerce to the Ojai Storytelling Festival to the Ojai Valley Land Conservancy. He is the father of three adult children, one new grandchild, and lives in Ojai with his wife Kate.
In conversation with Andy, one of the thoughts that I loved the most is, “you don’t see the developments unless you seek it out” and it goes to the heart of personal growth and self introspection. From a lifelong learner and educator perspective, Andy shares tools for both young and adult learners, ways in which one can understand the depth of the subject matter where you are armed with knowledge as opposed to operating from a knee jerk response. I really loved the superpower of understanding each other's gaps in knowledge that shifts the conversation from convincing each other to listening to each other and much more. Here’s Andy Gilman.

You’ve developed a self-awareness of who you are and where you want to go… but now what? Sound familiar? In my 20 years of practice as a Superior Court Mediator, clinician, executive coach, and parent, I’ve noticed one thing above all: No meaningful transformation can happen unless you find and apply the tools and skills that are right for you. See, the thing is, without tools, without a recipe, you might as well flip a coin and hope it works. Or, you’ll get burned out listening to bad advice, and following tips that just aren’t useful in your situation. I’ve been there, and I’ve seen thousands of clients right there as well… My name is Deepa, and Recipes for life is my show where you and I learn the ingredients of high performing, well-adjusted humans, how they get through their own life… all to craft a recipe for life of our own.
