Welcome to a new edition of the Famous Interviews with Joe Dimino series. On this episode, we talk with Buddhist meditation teacher and bestselling author Lodro Rinzler. In a world increasingly defined by division, burnout, and a constant sense of “not enough,” Lodro offers a powerful and timely message: you are not broken.
