208. Manoj Dias, Co-Founder & Vice President of Mindfulness at Open
Manoj Dias had a panic attack working a corporate job that changed his life forever. Born in Sri Lanka and raised in the Theravada Buddhist tradition, the then-marketing manager of a large financial institution walked out of work upon coming to terms with his overwhelming anxiety, and embarked on a journey of self-discovery that ultimately lead him to Open. For episode 208, we're chatting about his backstory; plus — how to adopt a regular mindfulness practice, the importance of small joys, the beauty of community, and so much more. The takeaways here? You're going to want to have your "Notes" app at the ready.
