296. One of my life heroes just died What was your favorite Robert Redford movie?
Elephant Journal: Walk the Talk Show with Waylon Lewis
What was your favorite Redford film or two that you’d recommend to others here? RIP, Bob. Thank you, Mr. Robert Redford, for being an iconoclast—an example particularly to so many young men like myself of humor and strength and kindness and integrity in a world of unoriginality, greed, willful harm, and suffering.

295. The Buddhist Approach to Stress & Anxiety.
Elephant Journal: Walk the Talk Show with Waylon Lewis
Breathe through the Big Moment. Easier said than done, right? Serious psychological issues, trauma, or deep-seated issues...those require a different approach. But this conversation is an opportunity to talk openly about the Buddhist approach to our everyday stress and anxiety that we’re all experiencing—perhaps more in 2025 than ever. "I'm talking about sort of surface everyday stress and anxiety. You're speedy. You're not getting enough done. You're lazy. From a Buddhist point of view, laziness is a reaction to busyness where you want to take a break, but you tune out in a way that isn't...

294. Plastic is Spooky!
Elephant Journal: Walk the Talk Show with Waylon Lewis
Waylon shares a wish for our sweet, sweet (endangered) place in the solar system: Imagine if we could celebrate Halloween without trashing our planet and teaching our children that it’s okay to do so.

293. Don't let them Normalize Gun Violence.
Elephant Journal: Walk the Talk Show with Waylon Lewis
What we *All* (especially Parents, hopefully) Want. Waylon shares a reminder that while we all want nice air to breathe, healthy water to drink, a stable planet for our children to grow up on, and for our children to be safe...we vote for politicians and support corporations that do the exact opposite. Again and again. "We gotta walk our talk. So that's the name of this video series, Walk The Talk Show. It's exhausting. It's exhausting to talk about the same thing. So this is just a reminder, if you do care—let's deeply care. Let's be willing to care, willing to expose our hearts and...

292. Let Love be Love be Love.
Elephant Journal: Walk the Talk Show with Waylon Lewis
Waylon shares with Elephant Readers, our community, and everyone listening, a simple plug for love in a moment when the GOP / MAGA is again looking to take away gay marriage rights. "Ultimately, we all want to be happy, whatever that looks like. We need to remember that when people are in love, that's one of the greatest contributors to societal happiness and stability." ~ Waylon H. Lewis

291. Tough Time getting Motivated? Don’t do what you normally do.
Elephant Journal: Walk the Talk Show with Waylon Lewis
Waylon shares a counter-intuitive, Buddhist-inspired tip for those struggling to find motivation—whether you're an entrepreneur, a parent, a teacher, or simply a human who has to "produce something." If we have to do something, have to earn something, want to accomplish something...well, we all sometimes struggle. " If you’re struggling to 'produce' at work, take a step back. Pressure won’t help. That’s burnout and doesn’t create great work or good leadership. Rediscover your motivation. Do something fun or kind for yourself. Then jump back in, with mission harnessed to motivation....

290. 4 Ways to Clean your Mind.
Elephant Journal: Walk the Talk Show with Waylon Lewis
Waylon speaks about four (plus a bonus fifth!) methods we can use to clean our minds in these times that are, to put it kindly, a little nuts. " We need to actively clean our minds, and by that I don't mean we need to be pure. I mean that we need to come back to our basic human goodness." ~ Waylon H. Lewis

289. Why Superman is not only Timely but “Buddhist.”
Elephant Journal: Walk the Talk Show with Waylon Lewis
This week on Walk the Talk Show, Waylon speaks about how Superman is an ideal Buddhist hero. "Growing up, Superman was a hero of mine. Kind. Caring. He used his strength, his power, not for evil or hurt or selfishness but to protect those in need, children, the vulnerable. He wasn’t grim, like Batman. He was, in Buddhist fashion, vulnerable himself (Kryptonite) and unafraid to smile, to romance, to fly high and celebrate this magical life and world from a lovely yet noble and appreciative, loving point of view. I’m glad to see his example back. We need kindness as heroism, now." ~ Waylon...

288. So…we’re pregnant. (Mostly Kelsey) ~ Waylon
Elephant Journal: Walk the Talk Show with Waylon Lewis
As some have guessed. And our dear friends and neighbors and family already know. And Winnie I think knows, as he now settles in a ball at Kelsey’s feet, always. We’re pregnant. Mostly Kelsey, as I like to say/acknowledge/dad joke. I felt our little one move in momma’s belly for the first time on my first father’s day...

287. "It Irritates me when Boomers say ‘The Next Generation…'"
Elephant Journal: Walk the Talk Show with Waylon Lewis
Paradigm Shift? Not so easily. This week, Waylon speaks about the responsibility all generations have to take steps to invest in kindness, honesty, and planet-saving actions such as avoiding plastic. It’s not the role of one, lone generation to solve the problems created by those who came before them. "One of my least favorite blind spots among Boomers, or older folks, is a sort of lazy nihilism where they say, ‘Oh, you know, the next generation is so beautiful and they’re gonna they’re going to change everything and save everything, and they care about our earth and...
