About this listen
In this episode, I sit down with Levi Jacobs—epic fantasy author, world traveler, and self-proclaimed fruit seller—to explore his unconventional approach to meditation. For Levi, mindfulness doesn't require a cushion or incense; instead, it involves stepping outside, lighting a cigar, and immersing himself in the ritual. This practice becomes a moment of deep, active focus, allowing him to center his thoughts and find stillness amidst the chaos.
He's the author of the Tidecaller Chronicles, beginning with Daughter of Flood and Fury, a gripping tale of a girl born with forbidden magic in a world where monks and witches are mortal enemies. His stories often delve into themes of identity, power structures, and the courage to defy societal norms.
In this conversation, we delve into how Levi's meditation practice influences his creative process and how finding moments of stillness can lead to profound insights. He shares how these rituals help him navigate the complexities of storytelling and life itself.
Stay tuned for Part 2, where we discuss Levi's journey as a writer, his inspirations, and the worlds he's crafted in his novels.
