Podcast Highlights

• Who is Dan Millman?

Dan Millman was usually the smallest kid in the class and faced the usual adversity that comes with it. People tend to see the product and not the process when it comes to success and they ignore the adversity and obstacles that got them there.

• Voluntary Adversity And Resistance

Almost everyone takes on voluntary forms of adversity, we have more control over changing ourselves than life in general.

Stress is a part of life. To be successful in life you need two things: to be good at what you do and good at promoting how good you are.

Dream big but start small and connect the dots.

• Leveling The Mountain With A Spoon

You can’t guarantee a result but you can greatly increase the odds of success by making an effort.

• The Two Paths Towards Achievement

Accept your thoughts and feelings. Focus on a goal. Do what needs to be done in line with your goals.

• What Is A Peaceful Warrior?

The most difficult battles we fight are within ourselves.

• The Hidden School

When the student is paying attention, the teacher appears everywhere.

• Waves Of Change

We are all enrolled in the school of daily life and most don’t realize it. If you can master the basics you can raise your potential at the same time.

Redefine success within the process instead of the destination.
