Happy Christmas!

A Final Round-up before the Hallidays

Sup Monks!

Happy Chrimbo and an early new year 😛

I thought I would share some highlights from the last year of kung-fu podcasting with you in case you missed any of them!

The competition is thick, but here are my Top 3 podcasts from 2022:

1. Dr Anna Lembke - I’m huge a fan of Dr Lembke’s so this was a great honour to meet her and she dropped some serious bombs about addiction and modern culture.

2. John Vervaeke - Another massive honour as I’m a huge fan of John’s work, and getting to speak with him was awesome! He’s the meaning crisis OG and hopefully, we will do it again very soon.

3. Paddy Gibson - Paddy is an old pal from back in the day but is also now a super huge and down-to-earth movie star. I just really enjoyed the conversation and particularly finding out about Paddy having to read ‘Ulysses’ for his first-ever audiobook performance. Brutal!

If you fancy giving me an early Christmas present, then share whichever one of these conversations is your favourite and encourage them to subscribe!

A massive thank you to everyone for supporting the work in 2022!

We made it to the:

• Top-ten self-improvement and Education Podcasts on Spotify and Apple charts

• Featured in the Top 10% most shared globally and the top 15% most followed podcasts on Spotify

• Youtube had over 23.7k views and 149.3k hours of watch time in 2022 alone 💪😯

Metrics aside, I am hoping to bring people together more in 2023 and finally start a Wisdom Community online, read some Stoicism, learn about some sages and practise spiritual exercises to cultivate the virtues of Wisdom, Courage, Temperance and Justice, and probably have a bit of craic along the way!

Stay tuned and there’ll be lots more interesting conversations and essays coming soon - enjoy the hallidays (as they say in Belfast) and I will catch you in the New Year!

Nollaig Shona dhuit!

Warm Regards,

Mahon.
