The most beautiful love song ever written is actually kind of creepy. Hey There Delilah has over a billion streams, and you've probably heard it in your local CVS.

It actually wasn't written by a lover, or an ex, just some dude obsessed with another hot chick.

Life is so funny 🤣

The most pivotal experience I've had on my journey of growth and consciousness was spending 10 days in complete silence, practicing and learning Vipassana meditation.

I've since completed three 10 day retreats, and encouraged my followers to do the same. One of them took me up on it, and he gave me a phone call just after his retreat.

This is that call!

If you're curious about meditation, self-improvement, or just becoming a better guy - this is a must-listen.

We get into the daily structure of a Vipassana retreat, the brutal mental grind, and the real mechanism behind it: how observing your sensations without reacting lets you surgically pull old emotional wounds out of your system. From performance anxiety to entrepreneurial stress to a chronic illness Andrew may have resolved on the mat, this is the case for why training your mind might be the highest-leverage thing you ever do.
