Welcome back to another episode of the Mahakatha Meditation Mantras podcast! In this episode, we have a thought-provoking topic to discuss. Have you ever wondered if serving others could alleviate your own suffering? In today's episode, we dive into the idea of suffering and serving, and how they are interconnected. We'll explore the experiences of those who, despite going through their own pain, still devote themselves to helping others. But is that enough to heal their own wounds?

We'll discuss the importance of not neglecting our own emotions and needs while striving to make a difference in the lives of others. Drawing inspiration from the wise words of Thich Nhat Hanh, we'll explore the necessity of self-soothing and nurturing. Only then can we truly heal ourselves and become better at serving others. So, if you often find yourself prioritizing the well-being of others over your own, this episode will serve as a gentle reminder to pause and redirect some of that love and kindness inward.

Host: To aid us in our journey of self-healing, we'll also introduce a powerful and comforting mantra - the Shivashtakam Mantra. This mantra, known for invoking the blessings and forgiveness of Lord Shiva, serves as a meditation practice to make peace with our suffering and gradually find healing. If you're new to this mantra or simply want to explore it further, we have a special offer for our listeners. Just use the discount code mentioned in the episode description to avail a 30% discount.

So, join us in this episode as we delve into the profound connection between suffering and serving, learn the importance of healing ourselves, and discover the transformative power of the Shivashtakam Mantra. As always, thank you for tuning in, and remember to prioritize your own well-being as you continue to serve others. Stay tuned for an enriching discussion and a soothing mantra practice.

Debbie brings back a favorite recurring guest, Silicon Valley legend Guy Kawasaki, to talk about legacy, aging, ChatGPT, why podcasting is his "ikigai," and more  — and to celebrate the 100th episode of [B]OLDER.

Guy is the original Apple evangelist, a prolific author, a surfer (at age 68), and perhaps most importantly, a podcaster. Guy is the creator and host of the popular Remarkable People podcast. 

Podcasting is his ikigai (a Japanese expression meaning reason for being or purpose) and Remarkable People is his best work, he says.

He and Debbie discuss ChatGPT, the natural language processing tool driven by AI  that everyone is talking about. Guy offers ways he is using ChatGPT, including:

- To write a first draft of a podcast intro for a guest

- To write form letters to an insurance company (he settled his claim favorably!)

- To write the first draft of his new book (based on his podcast). He is using ChatGPT as a more powerful thesaurus and in other ways.

Listen to the episode for more tips and to hear how Guy makes Debbie laugh - and think.
