What can a Shaolin monk teach us about energy? 

What can we learn from a 100-year-old woman, or a street food stall-owner?

I’ve spent my life asking these questions as a traveling journalist and creator, working for many years across China and Asia.

After training with kung fu masters, interviewing CEOs, and escaping encounters with literal secret agents, I’ve learned that in our disconnected world, we’re all missing a piece of the puzzle.

Mind Body Globe is an experiment in connection. World-changing ideas from everyone, everywhere.

Here I share lenses into local culture — travel content, deep dives, and practices that teach us to connect with ourselves and with others.

We’re at a crossroads, fighting with fear, a broken system, and the struggles of modern life. My mission is to spread wisdom from around the world to help us thrive together.

Thanks for coming along for the journey!
