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.
