Conversations through curiosity, creativity & connection.
Welcome to Miles to Zen, a podcast where we explore life’s delightful twists and turns, the fascinating people we meet and the experiences and ideas that make life extraordinary.
I’m Shannon Miles Halliday, your host, a follower of curiosity, a former corporate executive, a creator and a connector. I’m interested in what makes us thrive, what shapes our lives and the things we have yet to understand.
We’ll explore personal growth, human potential, consciousness, creativity, synchronicity and the intersection of spirituality and science. Along the way, we’ll hear from people with interesting stories, unexpected journeys and different ways of seeing the world.
Some conversations might challenge what we think we know; others might spark an idea, open a door or simply remind us of the wonder in everyday life. Whatever the topic, I hope you leave feeling uplifted, inspired and curious.
Ever walk away from a conversation feeling like something good just happened? Today we’re talking about how to have more of those.
I’ve sat down with over 50 guests on this podcast, and I’ve had a few decades of networking and talking to strangers, from two minute chats to two hour ones. Here are seven things I’ve learned from my guests, some research, and a few tricks from the pros. They work for coffee dates, dinner parties, networking, and catching up with an old friend.
