The interview

What was your life like before attending 40 Years of Zen?

Before I attended 40 Years of Zen, life was very hectic and chaotic. I was really quick to get anger at everything around me and was really looking for some meaningful change to happen.

Why did you and your wife decide to join the program?

My wife and I both wanted to be part of 40 Years of Zen because we heard from other people that had gone through the program at the Biohacking Conference in Orlando what meaningful change it made in their lives. And we wanted to get ourselves some of that, too.

Did you have any hesitations before signing up?

If there was anything that would have made me hesitate to do 40 Years of Zen, it was kind of the lack of details that are provided before you show up. It was something that there's a lot of mystery around, and even when talking to alumni that have gone through the program, there wasn't a lot of details shared. But I think that's part of the intrigue as well.

What was your favorite part of the experience?

My favorite part of 40 Years of Zen was the time in the pods getting a chance to look back on my life in a very different way, in a meditative state that you don't take the time in most days to approach. At least, I hadn't. And the food was amazing!

What specific shifts did you experience regarding your past?

One of the things that I was able to shift in the program was the fact that there are a lot of things that happen in your life when you're younger that you don't even realize impact how you react in your day-to-day, even like me in my fifties today. It was really interesting to reflect back on those times and to forgive yourself for what happened and to forgive others that maybe had done things to you that put a pattern on your brain that is easily able to be uncoded, to be more effective and positive.

How will this program impact your future and your business?

40 Years of Zen is really going to impact my life. I'm going to be a much better husband, much better father and I know I'm going to be able to accelerate the growth of my business significantly with more energy on a day-to-day basis. I also come up with my own personal mission statement and I focus on that on a regular basis so that I can attack the day in maybe a different way than I had in the past.

Frequently asked

Is there enough information provided before attending 40 Years of Zen?

Randy Kobat noted a lack of specific details and a sense of mystery surrounding the program beforehand, even when speaking to alumni. However, he concluded that this intrigue is part of the process and requires trusting the facilitators to achieve change.
