About the episode
Justin Mayfield is the co-founder of the Alan Watts Organization. Over the last four years, Justin has been instrumental in preserving and promoting the legacy of the prolific scholar and philosopher, Alan Watts, alongside his son, Mark Watts.
Justin's path from a wedding photographer and artist born in Missouri, to living on the Watts property in San Francisco, was by no means "traditional" from a Western cultural perspective. However, like Alan, Justin's approach to life is influenced by Eastern philosophies and this has allowed him to summon a myriad of opportunities his way.
Justin is a very passionate performance artist and creative coach known as The Distracible Monk. He is, amongst many other titles, an accomplished musician, poet, videographer, a MindValley course author and business consultant. Jack of many trades, master of a few, and joker overall.
His next quest is to work in Bali on The Ecstatic Ocean Initiative, reducing plastic pollution with community-led initiatives.
