The Robert Pirsig Associations 90 min event hosted by Yours Truly wherein:

1. the co-chairs speak a bit about the history and present of the Pirsig Enthusiast community

2. I interview Wendy Pirsig, Robert's widow and editor of On Quality (2022)

3. I interview Jim Landis, Editor of the original publication of Zen & The Art of Motorcycle Maintenance

4. I speak briefly about Pirsig's importance in my own work and life

And somewhere in there Wendy and Jim both make me really emotional.

For fans of ZMM and Pirsig this may be interesting to you! Was glad to make these connections in anticipation of making my Pirsig video once it is finally time.

Hope you are all embodying Quality today
