I work on several projects behind the scenes, and today I would like to highlight one of my favorite projects to work for.
I was brought on to this project from the start to do the daily tedious posting tasks, along with podcast editing, graphics and transcript by Kurt David Robinson. Kurt is not only brilliant but a great person to work with. It’s proven to be one of the most rewarding jobs ever and a big part of why is because of the content.
So for this reason, he deserves his own post. The only problem with this project is that more people don’t know about it.
The project is called A Beautiful Thought and is a podcast aimed at helping people be more happy with what they have. In face the slogan of sorts is “how your life is already wonderful” and he does a great job of it.
Who is Kurt?
First of all I think Kurt is the perfect person to do this podcast. He spend several years in Mexico and another several traveling around the world literally in the pursuit of happiness. I’m sure in the beginning his intent might have selfishly been for his own happiness but what he found was a way to help many others be happy with what they already have.
He also underwent Cognitive Behavioral Therapy training and is now offering sessions. From my goal is to help those struggling to get over the hurdles in their way to their own personal form of happiness. And at 6 dollars a session, it’s worth a try!
So not only is he well traveled and trained in these interesting therapeutical things, he’s also spent a lot of time pursing the art of meditation and has managed to explain it in a way that reduces even my anxiety about the idea of sitting still not doing something.
Why should you check this out?
If you’re feeling stuck or feeling like things just could be better, this podcast will actually help you identify ways to make that better. Everything from dealing with frustration to how to start meditation for beginners is covered. The podcasts are also short, usually less than 15 minutes unless it’s an interview. I do transcripts of each short episode but even I highly advise listening to the audio because you can feel the joy leak through the speakers from Kurt to you.
