About this episode

Richard Rudd is a renowned poet, mystic, and teacher. After earning a Master’s Degree in metaphysics and literature from Edinburgh University, he worked in the film industry in Australia, trained as a teacher of Chi Kung in Thailand, and sailed across the Atlantic Ocean on a small yacht. Then at the age 29, he had a transformative spiritual experience that led him to conceive The Gene Keys, a book that took seven years to write. Today, he teaches globally and was recognized in 2019 as one of The 100 Most Spiritually Influential Living People by Watkins.
