Back in 2014, I thought I was merely an author with some meditations on the side. Then in August 2015, I uploaded one of my meditations to an app called Insight Timer … this started a transformation where I became a meditation teacher with books on the side.
Then in 2018, the app brought in a revenue model that meant I could stop trading time for money and focus 100% on my creative output.
10 years later I found myself asking a question, could AI be taught to meditate … which in turn led to this very Substack.
This is a recording of a Live session I hosted on the app on the day of the 10 year anniversary - 21st August 2025.
