In this episode, Joe sits down with D.J. Vanas—best-sellingauthor, speaker, former U.S. Air Force officer, and enrolled member of the Odawa Nation of Michigan—for a meaningful conversation on leadership, resilience, and purpose.
Drawing from his acclaimed book The Warrior Within, D.J. shares timeless principles rooted in Native American warrior traditions and how they apply to the challenges we face today—in service, in leadership, and in life.
If you’re navigating a demanding season or reflecting onwhat it really means to serve and lead with intention, there’s value here worth leaning into.
