Once in a Blue Moon - George Hahn Lotus Crusher

- Mental Health
When I moved to New York City in 2011 I was put in touch with George Hahn and we hit it off. George is a writer, actor, and a consultant. but most importantly he is an old mentor of mine. I always admired how relaxed and confident he was. I was in the middle of an existential crisis and meeting with George for guidance was comforting. He regularly reminded me things would be ok if I just showed up and let go of the results, and I trusted him.
It turned out George was right.
We lost touch some time ago. Life took its course and we both moved away from New York City. I continued to follow his blog and podcast from afar and recently got in touch with him to record this episode.
What motivated me to reconnect was reading the first rough draft chapter of his memoir titled: “Once in a Blue Moon.” The chapter is about meeting a man that would change Georges life. It made me miss George. He was an integral part of my early days establishing a footing in New York City. I had bitten off more than I could chew. I had recently quit drinking and moved to the city to chase a woman I thought I was madly in love with.
I look back on those early days and swell with nostalgia and gratitude. I couldn’t have done it without the teachers that helped me along the way. And it all payed off. If I hadn’t flown the coup to NYC I don’t know where I’d be. And my life might not have turned out to be so immense. George was one of a few key people that taught me to be open.
