Mindful Listening: Guest Spot on The Principal Liner Notes Podcast

Sara Candela

Sep 13, 2023

This week on The Optimalist Podcast, we are showcasing a recent episode of Sean Galliard’s The Principal Liner Notes Podcast.Sean is a great friend of the community, and stellar educator & author. Sara is Sean’s guest on this episode, where they discuss mindfulness in music and literature, including personal engagement with art, intentional connections in a tech-driven world, the impact of paying full attention, and immersive listening. If you know Sean’s work or presence on social media at all, you know that he does not do anything without infusing his love of music and metaphor. So we did just that on this episode, which he named Mindful Listening, and which we are happy to share with the Optimalist audience today.
