Buddhist Geeks
Buddhist Geeks is an online Buddhist media company that launched in 2006. Buddhist Geeks includes a weekly audio podcast—the #2 Buddhist podcast in the world with over 90,000 downloads of the show each month— a digital magazine component, and an annual conference. Combining ancient wisdom with modern technology, Buddhist Geeks aims to catalyze a community of practice committed to awakening. I am the Chief Geek and Founder of Buddhist Geeks.

Pragmatic Dharma
Pragmatic dharma finds its deepest roots in the teachings of the Buddha, but is fundamentally about taking a straight-forward, transparent, and open approach to the states, stages, and goals of the spiritual path. In short: Awakening is possible, and there’s a way to get there.

Meditation by Design
Meditation By Design (MBD) is a unique project at the meeting point of tech culture, meditation and design. Our generation, which has grown up digital, is increasingly interested in exploring meditation and its potential for mental and human development. MBD believes that for this potential to be fully realized, meditation must be taught and practised in ways that are people-centered and fully appropriate to the digital, urban and engaged nature of our 21st century lives—but currently the majority of courses and teachings fail to do so. This is a design problem.
