Some of my favorite moments on The Mindful Agent are the ones that stop feeling like a podcast and start feeling like sitting on the couch with a friend.
This episode with Paul Benedict — longtime realtor, yogi, teacher, and author — is exactly that. We talk about how meditation, breath, and yoga philosophy actually show up in real life: in business, in conflict, in burnout, and in those “I have no idea what to do next” moments.
If you’ve ever wanted more clarity, more calm, and more meaning in the middle of a busy career, this conversation is going to feel like an exhale.
What You’ll Learn
- Why meditation isn’t “emptying your mind” — and what it really is
- The Four Desires (purpose, play, basic needs, spiritual freedom) and how they show up in daily life
- Simple breath work you can use in real estate, negotiations, and tough conversations
- How clarity comes from knowing your purpose and just taking the next right step
