132: From Mad Men To Mad Zen

On this episode of Let It Ride we connect with “Zen-howlie-mad-man” Larry Feinstein, whose life is a testament to the power of transformation and the pursuit of passion. His early career in the world of advertising was a high-intensity whirlwind of creativity and deadlines, a path that eventually led him to seek more fulfilling endeavors—including long, adventurous hair at high speeds.

Leaving his cush advertising job in New York City, he headed for the American southwest. On his journey he found a new sense of freedom in motorcycle riding and Zen Buddhism. In this show Larry reveals how constant exposure to nature and a disposition of mindfulness led to his long-abiding blog, Mind And The Motorcycle.
