On this week’s episode of Next Level Minds, I sit down with Rick Walker — entrepreneur, political candidate, and author of 9 Steps to Build a Life of Meaning.

From undergoing brain surgery to building businesses and running for Congress, Rick has faced adversity most people would run from — and turned it into fuel for a purposeful, mission-driven life.

In this conversation, we dive deep into:

  • Rick’s 9-step framework for unlocking meaning and power

  • How to turn pain into purpose

  • The role of faith and mental toughness in personal growth

  • What he learned from running for public office

  • Why chasing comfort is the enemy of fulfillment

This episode is packed with raw insight, real-life grit, and the kind of perspective that will challenge you to level up in every area of life.

If you're searching for clarity, strength, or direction — this one's for you.
