The thesis
I consult on data & analytics by day, and teach mindfulness by evening. Data sharpens how we see the world; mindfulness sharpens how we see ourselves. The analyst who can sit with ambiguity makes better models. The meditator who respects evidence builds deeper practice. The surface changes. The attention does not.
