And that became actually a critical story in the cave because they would be like, I'm hungry. He says, I know you're hungry, but your body can go much longer than you think it can without food.

Now, it also, being a Buddhist, taught him the art of meditation, the art of remaining calm, the art of accepting the situations where we find ourselves. There's a phrase that I learned recently, which I really, really like, is we can't control the wind, but we can control how we use our sails. And I think Kojak is a great example of that.

Yeah, we asked them to think about a time when they had power, when they were in control of a situation. We had them to reflect on what it was like to have that power, to be in control. After that, we told them they were actually going to write an application for a job. We gave them a real job ad that existed. And we said, write a cover letter for this job. And everyone did that.
