The most grounding and validating pod we deserve to start our Mondays with - please give a warm, TMV welcome to Jesse Israel. Jesse is a social entrepreneur, meditation leader, and former record label executive who is a master of community. You might have heard of him - his meditation movement, The Big Quiet, has led mass meditations in iconic places like Madison Square Garden, featured musical performances from artists like Miguel, and even went on tour with Oprah from 2019-2020. Today, Jesse reminds us that true thought leaders lead with vulnerability, within boundaries, by sharing with us his recent internal transformation. 

In conversation, thoughts range from: 

• Modeling vulnerability by speaking from a scar vs a wound
• Manifesting? Try Manifucking
• A lesson on boundaries Jesse learned from Brene Brown 
• A Quick Guide To Getting (Back) Into Meditation 

Stay tuned at the end of the episode when Jesse leads us all in a quick Big Quiet Mass Virtual Meditation to set us up for the rest of our day!
