Description

In this episode of the Free Radical Podcast, Swami Padmanabha sits down with Rick Archer, creator of Buddha at the Gas Pump and co-founder of the Association for Spiritual Integrity. A lifelong meditator with over 55 years of daily practice, Rick has interviewed more than 725 people on their journeys of awakening.



Their conversation dives into spiritual integrity, the difference between holiness and wholeness, the role of feedback and accountability for teachers, and what students should look for in a guide—all woven together with Rick’s own life story as a practitioner and teacher.
