Nick Egan PhD: Leaving Home as Half the Dharma — Lived Philosophy from Tibet to Leadership
In this episode of The Living Conversation, Adam Dietz and Anthony Wright speak with Nick Egan PhD, a philosopher, traveler, and executive coach who bridges the worlds of Tibetan wisdom and modern leadership.
Nick shares stories from his years in Nepal, Bhutan, and Tibet, and the lessons learned from living among monasteries rather than merely studying them. Together, they explore Milarepa’s idea that “leaving home is half the dharma,” the value of discomfort, and how authentic practice shows up in daily life; whether in a Himalayan village or a corporate boardroom.
🧭 Topics include:
- Zen and Tibetan approaches to practice and presence
- How “leaving home” transforms perspective
- Integrating spirituality and leadership
- Why everything, in the end, might be “all right”
Conversation Highlights:
- (00:02:00) Nick’s first journey through India, Japan, and Nepal
- (00:04:30) Adam & Anthony reflect on Japan, Taiwan, and lived philosophy
- (00:06:10) Milarepa’s teaching: “Leaving home is half the Dharma”
- (00:08:50) How Tibetan culture honors serious practitioners
- (00:09:56) Advice for finding a teacher and staying present in daily life
- (00:11:00) The joy of teaching and shared awakening
About the Guest:
Nick Egan, PhD, is an executive coach and leadership consultant whose background in Eastern philosophy and years of fieldwork in the Himalayas inform his work with global leaders. He is the founder of Shift Leadership Group and the author of Shift: The Art of Transforming Limitations.
