In this not-to-be-missed conversation, Home shares his incredible life story and shares how he went from being a teenage refugee escaping the communist regime to a challenging 10-day silent meditation to becoming a leading mindfulness researcher and coach in America.

Home also shares deep life lessons he learned after dropping out of college and starting a theater company called Club O' Noodles Theater Company in Los Angeles. He used this company to help refugees, gay men with HIV/AIDS, and people traumatized from war to heal through performance. One of the most pivotal learnings during this period for Home was the importance of working from a place of love. If you think it is too late to begin again, you need to listen to this podcast.
