I’m going to let this comedian do the talking for me in this hilarious, three-minute Facebook video that will remind you that self-deprecating humor is so much better than putting someone else down. If you find it a little ageist, the answer is you’re right but it also offers an alternative to the stereotype of the old, straight, white dude.

P.S. One of the best things about starting MEA is all of the thought leaders I’ve been fortunate enough to teach with from Christian mystic Richard Rohr to Blue Zones’ Dan Buettner to Buddhist monk Matthieu Ricard. I felt such love for my co-teacher this past week, author Liz Gilbert, as evidenced by this photo captured by Cookie Kinkead.
