In this episode of 'Changing the Channel,' host Joe Garner interviews Bob Martin, a former mob attorney turned certified meditation teacher and professor of wellness at Elon University. Bob shares his journey from a high-powered attorney in Miami to a contemplative life of meditation and Daoism, highlighting the transformative power of mindfulness. The discussion delves into what meditation truly is, demystifying common misconceptions, and exploring its profound impact on managing thoughts, emotional regulation, and business effectiveness. Bob also talks about the importance of teaching meditation skills to children and the potential global impact. The episode concludes with insights into the practical implementation of mindfulness in various aspects of life and Bob's free resources for those interested in learning more.
Bob Martin's journey is one of profound transformation and dedication to breaking chains—both literal and metaphorical—spanning a lifetime of service. From a mob lawyer in Miami during the Cocaine Cowboy days, he serves as the Mindfulness Coordinator for Elon University; Bob is dedicated to liberating minds from limiting narratives and guiding individuals and organizations toward inner peace and potential. He holds Juris Doctor and Master of Social Work degrees and, as a Certified Meditation Teacher, introduces Meditation to at-risk youth and Fortune 500 CEOs.
