What does it truly mean to live as a “peaceful warrior” in today’s chaotic world? If you are looking for a path to personal growth, then you are in the right place
Will and Jon sit down with Dan Millman, author of Way of the Peaceful Warrior, to explore mindfulness, self-discovery, and the deeper lessons of personal growth. Dan shares how life’s challenges act as spiritual weight training, why breath and meditation are essential tools for inner peace, and how embracing life fully - beyond moderation - can transform our journey.
From redefining success to letting go of comparison, this episode offers practical wisdom, inspiring sound bites, and a guided breathing exercise to help you reconnect with yourself and live with purpose.
