Jason Reynolds

For author Jason Reynolds, sometimes “slaying dragons” means writing #1 New York Times bestselling youth fiction. Sometimes it’s about kicking back to watch the game with his friends or spending Sundays with family. Jason joins Aja to talk about building intergenerational trust and how to play a game he invented called Brain Yoga, as well as some of the things we might discover in ourselves by really unplugging. Followed by meditative sound bath music from The Dojo Upstate.For more info, check out The Sound Bath Podcast site. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Jason Reynolds is a Children’s Lit Superstar as the author of tons of best-selling widely-loved titles. My kids love his work way more than mine. I wondered what it was like writing for kids when you haven’t been one for a long time and how he landed up in children’s writing. He’s a brilliant writer and it’s amazing to hear his process and his philosophies behind writing.
