A JOURNEY WITH BERNIE is so much more than an established, internationally recognised Podcast spanning 50 countries. It is an evolving way of life and you, dear friends, are invited to be adventurous explorers with us. Despite constant media-driven advertisements defining ‘success’ as material acquisition and a life-centered around 40 years of incessant, often stressful, empire building work generating six figure bank accounts and million-dollar assets, Bernie K and co believe that there might just be another way. No, we are not budding Buddhas seeking liberation! To the contrary, our point-of-difference, lies in our role not as experts, but as simple people, who like you, are prospecting for actions, strategies, and routines that will inspire constant joy and an enhanced capacity to love self, life and all people. There lies the purpose of the podcast! It’s a purpose we share every Friday with well-chosen guests, some of whom are public figures once featured on the front page of your daily newspaper, while others are yet to be discovered by Google. Some are experts and others are the ‘person next door’. It doesn't matter, for it is through their life stories, that we as a community poke, prod, dig and discover answers to the one question we all ask … WHAT BRINGS REAL MEANING and VALUE TO OUR LIFE?

100. Emeritus Prof Ken Pakenham started this journey 100 Episodes ago. He returns 2 years later.

When I first started A JOURNEY WITH BERNIE just over two years ago, I thought the podcast objectives would be realized in 10 episodes. Afterall, how many strategies, actions, disciplines, ways of seeing the world can there be that could inspire constant inner joy and greater love for self, life and people?

Well, here we are 100 episodes and 2 plus years later and still the exploration and the thirst for wisdom is alive!

The scope of this journey turned out to be expansive and I began to see that in the very first episode with Emeritus Prof Ken Pakenham. Displaying my amateurish interviewing skills, I asked him … ‘So, what do you see as the Meaning of Life?’

His answer became a reference point over the next 99 episodes. Ken simply suggested, ‘That the meaning of life is found by first identifying and then clarifying one’s values. This becomes your core reference point for all of your behavior and authentic activity. Of course, Ken then rightfully pointed out that the next step is to KNOW your values … to know what they look like as behaviors and finally, the great challenge is to BE the behavioral manifestation of your values’.

Little did I know that this 'piece of gold' given to us in the very first episode would become a core discussion over the next two years.

Therefore, it is only appropriate that the guest for our century of interviews be the wisdom of Prof Ken Pakenham, and what an incredible episode it is. The additional insights into our possibilities is coming from a very aware soul. It is a soul that has experienced the traumas, the vagrancies and the tribulations of life. It is a soul who has found a way to manage his challenges and arrive at a place of self-respect and personal harmony.

Apart from this exhilarating discussion you can understand so much more of the journey of Prof Ken Pakenham in his outstanding memoir called “THE TRAUMA BANQUET”. It is a must read.

Finally, I thank you, the 12000 listeners from 52 countries who continue to FOLLOW and SUBSCRIBE to our weekly episodes. You are the ones that give A JOURNEY WITH BERNIE the reason to embrace the years to come.
Blessings to you all. Bernie K ... +61 412 982 444
