Former Buddhist monk and Mindfulness Exercises founder Sean Fargo lays out a clear, compassionate roadmap for teaching mindfulness and meditation — with confidence, credibility, and heart.

Drawing from his journey (from cloistered practice to prisons, clinics, classrooms, and companies), Sean distills what actually works so you can help others be more present, resilient, and self‑compassionate—without overcomplicating the practice.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why compassion is the foundation of every effective mindfulness teaching
• A simple way to meet fear, judgment, and imposter feelings—and keep going
• How to introduce mindfulness experientially (story → teach → tool)
• Three techniques to make it practical and relevant: prepare, listen, ask
• The templates & credentials that open doors (e.g., MBI‑TAC, Search Inside Yourself)
• How to find your voice for guiding meditations (and a non‑fussy recording setup)
• Essentials of trauma‑sensitive mindfulness and the window of tolerance
• The #1 long‑term success factor: community and consistent teaching practice
