There was a time where you couldn’t walk down the street without seeing someone sporting a SpiritualGangster t-shirt. (Please note: that time hasn’t really passed.)
Well, the shirt that epitomized the spiritual seeker who was also cool was the brain child of former lawyer and yoga teacher Ian Lopatin. Despite the fact that the brand he and his wife started by making t-shirts out of their garage mushroomed into a $30 million business, their success was far from a straight line—as Lopatin shares in this episode, there were many failures along the way.
But Spiritual Gangster has never been so much a clothing company as it is an ethos—one that Lopatin embodies. And now he’s helping those who have achieved it all but still find themselves in a place of lack discovering how they can get out of the achievement game and into a life of true fulfillment.
We dove into everything from the glory failure can bring when you embrace it, how being “energy rich” brings you everything and the way failure comes from fear and attachment. And so much more!
