Eddie Arpin, co-founder of Offering Tree, joins us to talk about why he built an all-in-one platform for yoga and wellness teachers — and what it really means to earn a living doing what you love. We explore the tension between spiritual identity and running a business, the role of AI (including their new tool Sprout), mindful tech use, and why human connection matters more than ever.
In this episode we go deep on:
• Why yoga teachers often resist "the business side" — and how to reframe that relationship with money
• The Buddhist tradition of interdependence and what it has to do with getting paid
• Offering Tree's new AI feature, Sprout, which builds and edits your website through simple conversation
• The creator vs. consumer distinction when it comes to healthy tech use
• Time blocking as an underrated productivity tool (and why it's hard for free spirits)
• How becoming a parent changed Eddie's relationship with mindfulness
