Leo Babauta was overweight, in massive debt, out of shape, stressed, scattered and seriously unhappy. Oh, and he was a heavy smoker and parent to 6 kids too. His incredible transformation didn't happen overnight, but rather gradually - one habit at a time. Today, he is completely remade and has become one of the world's most sought after experts in the areas of transformation, habit change, simplicity, minimalism, blogging, parenting...you name it. And it all started when he decided to stop smoking, and put everything he had into changing this one, deadly habit. Astonished at the power of focus, Leo has since - one-by-one - addressed and fixed each of his glaring challenges while amassing a readership of nearly 2 million on his popular blog, "Zen Habits". In this special Ownstream podcast episode, Leo discusses his journey of transformation, his views on simplicity and minimalism now, his daily routine, why he's a vegan, and his astonishment - & joy - at being a professional writer and source of inspiration for many. For him, his life is a dream come true. Enjoy! For more on this episode, plus the show notes, please visit - http://ownstream.co/leobabauta
