314. (You say you wanna Revolution) Stop Doing This.
Elephant Journal: Walk the Talk Show with Waylon Lewis
Support the Good Wolf. This week, Waylon speaks with the Elephant community about April Fools' Day, why he calls it a holy Buddhist holiday, and shares the reasoning behind why we go hard on the so-called joking on this day each year as a publication. He also offers a reminder for us all about The Man and Big Tech, and how we may not be walking our talk as often as we think we are. Waylon: "When Elephant talks—jokes—about selling out on April Fools' Day, people are offended, or freaked out, or just plain sad. Which I actually think is healthy! What I think is actually troubling is how many...

Elephant Journal: Walk the Talk Show with Waylon Lewis
Waylon speaks with the Elephant community about the upcoming No Kings Day on March 28th, 2026, and gives us two small tasks we can do to protect our democracy: 1.

311. I asked Pema Chodron how we should prepare our Daughter for a Wild World.
Elephant Journal: Walk the Talk Show with Waylon Lewis
Recently, thanks to Shambhala Publications and our friend Ivan Bercholz, we had the chance to ask Pema Chodron, the wonderful Buddhist teacher I’ve been lucky enough to know all my life, a brief question. It was Willa and Kelsey’s first time meeting Pema! It was a pleasure and an honor and helpful in an earthy way. Dharma is always surprising in how it rings true and surprises my thinking mind. ~ Waylon Lewis Read the full article on Elephant:

310. It Doesn’t Matter if we’re Good to Mother Nature!
Elephant Journal: Walk the Talk Show with Waylon Lewis
The thing I'm always trying to explain to my liberal idiot friends is that the climate crisis, global warming, global shawarmaing—whatever you want to call it—doesn't really matter. You know why? 'Cause I'm 51. Even if global warming were true—which, obviously, it's not; FAKE NEWS!—I'll be dead. So it doesn't matter, right?

308. A Novel for this Moment: Waylon w/ Jeff Fulmer, Author of "The Two Prophets."
Elephant Journal: Walk the Talk Show with Waylon Lewis
Waylon meets Jeff Fulmer, the author of the book "The Two Prophets," and discusses how this is a book to help millions of readers digest, process, and even enjoy this over-full moment in human history. "Touching on every issue we’re all going through in these turbulent times, it’s a page-turning adventurous read that’s fun, yet serious. You can sit down with a good book, read it, and take in current events—which are pretty stressful—but have a good time doing so because it's been novelized. It's a fun story. I read it and loved it. I'll be reading his other books now." ~ Waylon H....

306. Bridging the Gap Between Positivity & Reality.
Elephant Journal: Walk the Talk Show with Waylon Lewis
Waylon speaks with the Elephant community about the trap of positivity and how it can actually do the opposite of what we think, and result in us turning away from the outside world and instead showing up in the world in a more cold or withdrawn manner. Instead, if we are accepting, and powerful, and courageous, and brave, and vulnerable, by opening up to the world around us as it is—reality—we can hear, and learn from it and instead of sitting in stress or fear of hearing it, we can say, how can I help? How am I a part of this? And those are good questions to ask, because they then allow...
