#77: Paul Read Interview [Video + Podcast]

Posted on December 21, 2019November 30, 2020 by Ando Mierzwa

Welcome to Episode #77 of the Fight for a Happy Life podcast with special guest, Paul Read.

If you don’t follow Paul’s work as a Tai Chi instructor, you should! Many people talk about expressing themselves through their martial arts training, but Paul is one of the few who actually does!

I’ve been of a fan of Paul’s from afar for a few years, so it was an honor to finally sit down with the man who calls himself the Teapot Monk.

Join our conversation for insights on—

  • How to find happiness
  • The pleasure of being lost
  • How to be a better student and teacher
  • The pros and cons of cross-training
  • Finding your voice
  • Commercialism in the martial arts

Whew! That’s a lot! 🙂

NOTE: I apologize in advance for the audio quality of this show. Technology is changing fast and I can’t always keep up! But if you are willing to suffer a little, I think you’ll reap great rewards.

Oh! And don’t forget to download your FREE COPY of Paul’s most popular book through this link—

THE MANUAL OF BEAN CURD BOXING

Thank you, Monk!
