Lee Zlotoff – MacGyver’s Creator Teaches us “The MacGyver Secret”

Oh my god its the creator of MacGyver!!!

Roger grew up watching MacGyver, the show where you learned how to solve anything… Each week MacGyver would get out of a scrape using his hands (and some chewing gum, a paperclip, a coin and a used bandaid). Its this “solve anything” attitude that Lee Zlotoff brings to the world with his new book “The MacGyver Secret: Connect to Your Inner MacGyver and Solve Anything.” In this episode we break down his career, the book and the incredible tool that you can employ immediately today.

Genpo Roshi – A Zen Master’s 45 Year Journey

‘You have to swallow the whole fish,’ Zen Master Taizan Maezumi told his students, ‘and then spit out the bones.’  First absorb the tradition, endure the hardships of Zen training, then you can spend the rest of your life separating the real treasure from the culture it came in, learning what you can let go of and what is truly yours.

In this episode Connor and Roger talk with Genpo Roshi about his 45 years as a Zen Master. This conversation touches on his story of his uplifting and exhilarating and humbling journey, including the last five years rising from the ashes of his very public fall from grace, and a candid exploration of the challenge of bringing the essence of the great tradition he inherited to life in the West.
