If you’ve ever sat down to find inner peace…
…and ended up doomscrolling the news,
worrying that Mark Zuckerberg is monetizing your memories,
this is the 10-minute meditation series for you.
🧘♂️ Zen riddles. Gen X nostalgia. Dry humor. Press play
Lloyd Dobler (yes, that Lloyd) guides you through 7 affirmations and the beautiful chaos of trying to find inner peace while the empire has a very public nervous breakdown.

10 minutes of Buddhist wisdom, Taoist philosophy, and the understanding that your monkey mind breakdancing through your frontal lobe is perfectly normal.

At the top, bold gold text reads: “Episode 1 – Sacred Refusal in the Trump Era.” Below it, a silhouette of a man holds a boombox over his head, standing in front of a golden sun. Underneath, large text reads: “the tao of lloyd.” The design evokes vintage poster art and 1980s mixtape aesthetics

I’m not saying: tune in, turn on, drop out.
We missed the Summer of Love and came of age in the Winter of Reagan.
We got tuned out, turned down, priced out.
So now?
Let’s quit what’s killing us and find a way forward—with purpose.
(7/9)
Think of this podcast as a punk-rock, Zen-soaked rejection
of the bullshit we’ve been fed since 5th grade—
standing for the pledge of allegiance in husky jeans,
waiting in line for government cheese.

’Cause trying to muscle your way through empire
is like trying to win a mosh pit with a résumé.
I’m not here to fight the machine.
I’m here to unplug it, flip it off, and leave it on the curb with a note that says:
“Do not reincarnate.”
(5/9)
The Tao of Lloyd blends politics, culture, and resistance
into a slow-burn soundtrack for the end of empire.
To fight Trump 2.0, we need strategic disengagement.
Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching, Ch. 30:
“Violence, even well intentioned, always rebounds upon oneself.”

And me?
Now middle-aged. Fictional.
Yeah—let’s just say it:
I know I’m not real.
You know I’m not real.
But neither is money.
Or America.
Or your professional identity.
That’s just ego in business-casual.
