Adam Eurich is a filmmaker and producer of the upcoming documentary, Seeking Heartwood. 


In 2010, he quit his lucrative job as an engineer, took his life savings, and hit the road to explore Buddhism in America. 


With cameras in hand, he traveled across America seeking out the best teachers he could find. 


The experience forced him to reevaluate his own assumptions about truth, meaning, and happiness.


In this episode Adam shares:


  • How he used his life savings to fund a documentary project. 

  • The importance of not being attached to expectations.

  • How the world helped support his project. 

  • How meditation forced him to face the dissatisfaction in his life.

  • How he found out how to express what was true to his own experience.

  • Why he felt he had to use up all his savings before accepting financial help from others.

  • How to accept failure as part of the journey.

  • The rewards of deeply looking at your own experience.

  • The lessons from recognizing that he already had what he was looking for all along.
