Episode description

Ian Edwards is a philosopher-sculptor and world-class longbow champion. For over 36 years, his work in sculpture has been a direct exploration of presence, truth, and what it means to live a well-formed life. At his core, Ian helps people understand that the only thing of real meaning is the quality of their life — and that this quality is determined by fulfilment, which can only be accessed in the present moment by being true to oneself. Having lived this path through deep craft and mastery, he speaks from firsthand experience about how the ego quietly steals fulfilment in the pursuit of becoming more.
