#26: Nonviolent Communication and Conscious Fatherhood with Frank Lawton

In this role-reversal episode, Mindform member John Warinner hosts a deeply personal conversation with the podcast’s regular host, Frank Lawton. Together, they explore Frank’s journey through meditation, fatherhood, and the transformative power of communication especially his passion for Nonviolent Communication (NVC). Frank opens up about how Vipassana retreats shaped his presence and how his role as a father influences the language he uses and the worldview he hopes to pass on to his children. The episode also unpacks the philosophical layers of worldview, belief, and persuasion—tying personal growth to how we speak, listen, and perceive one another.
