Could you please reach out to have Sam Harris on a podcast! The topic could be focused around the mind and meditation with a sprinkle of questions on; - his view on philosophy that is based on science providing the direction, - what is a ‘self’ - free will not existing - his pledge for % of income to help others and the effect of philanthropy and good will on the mind etc. Would be an incredible podcast!
