The Buddhist AF Podcast
Welcome to The Buddhist AF. What started as a personal project—recording stories for an audience of one, my son—has grown into something much bigger. I wanted him to know who his father was, to hear my stories, in case I wasn’t able to tell them to him myself as he grew older. But as the show progressed, something unexpected happened. I began receiving messages from people around the world, sharing how much these stories have helped them. The Buddhist AF has become more than just my journey—it’s a space for connection, reflection, and growth. Thanks for listening.
