Billy gives us insight to how he interprets and applies the principles of Buddhism to work and everyday life. Something he's been doing for over 20 years as a consultant and executive.

What is skillful means and how do we use that to influence the world?

Compassion, presence and wisdom. What do they really mean and how can we use them to make our life and the lives of people around us better? We also dive into ways to navigate the divisive 'fear' agenda pushed by today's media, as well as the upside of social media.

You can listen to it on Spotify, Apple and Stitcher and most other podcasting platforms.

Billy's bio and links to the books and media resources referenced in the podcast are below.

Upcoming podcasts include the leader of the freedom movement in Australia, as well as simple life lessons from arguably one of the most successful sporting coaches of all time.
