    Meditative Story Transcript – Cal Ripken Jr Click here to listen to the full Meditative Story with Cal Ripken Jr. CAL RIPKEN JR.: That’s my dad. He never puts any pressure on me to be a ballplayer. ​ He doesn't say I’ll be a star. He says, “You have God-given talent. Now you have to do the work. If you nourish it, you’ll get a chance to move on.” He wouldn't say it if he didn’t see it, and it means the world to me. ROHAN GUNATILLAKE: Cal Ripken Jr. is widely regarded as one of Major League Baseball’s ​ greatest all-time players. His Hall of Fame career spans an incredible 21 years, from 1982 to 1999, all with the Baltimore Orioles. Nicknamed “Iron Man,” Cal is best-known for his record-setting streak of 2,632 consecutive games played. But for Cal, just showing up is never an end in itself. It’s how he shows up that distinguishes his legacy as an athlete – a lesson Cal learns by observing his father, a baseball legend in his own right, whose dignity on the field extends far beyond hard work and fair play alone. In this series, we combine immersive first-person stories and stunning music with the science-backed benefits of mindfulness practice. From WaitWhat and Thrive Global, this is Meditative Story. I’m Rohan, and I’ll be your guide. The body relaxed. The body breathing. Your senses open. Your mind open. Meeting the world. RIPKEN: This summer we’re in Asheville, North Carolina.
