In this episode, philosopher and leadership coach Nick Egan, PhD joins Adam Dietz and Anthony Wright to explore Buddhism, meditation, and what it means to practice wisdom in everyday life.

We dive into:

• Shamatha vs Vipassana — the two classic forms of Buddhist meditation.
• The American Dharma experiment — how U.S. practitioners engage Zen, Dzogchen, and Taoism in unique ways.
• The paradox of non-attachment and the trap of spiritual bypassing.
• The tetra lemma and Buddhist insights into emptiness.
• How ancient wisdom applies to business, leadership, and coaching today

⚠️ Note on audio: Due to technical issues, Nick’s and Adam’s voices are not as clear in this recording (Anthony’s audio came through clean). Thanks for your patience — the conversation is rich, and we’re working to ensure future episodes meet a higher sound quality.
