The EVRYMAN Podcast

Find Evryman at: Website | Facebook | Instagram | Twitter Today's guest is Sam Morris. He is the founder of Zen Warrior Training, a personal and business development program for high performers, entrepreneurs and creative professionals. Borrowing from the ancient wisdom of Zen and Taoist philosophy, meditation and breathwork practices, Sam trains the high performer how to master the inner workings of the mind, body and spirit and live from a place of deep purpose and resolve in every moment of their lives. A Zen practitioner since 1993, Sam was in a car accident caused by a drunk driver in 1999 which left him paraplegic. Determined not to become the victim of his circumstances, Sam dove deeply into inner mastery practices which helped him to transform his trauma and become a successful entrepreneur, loving husband and expert adaptive skier. Through his unique journey, Sam discovered his soul purpose of Zen Warrior Training.  Sam joins Dan for this episode of the Evryman Podcast to discuss what he cares about more than anything, what he does and where it comes from, and being authentic with yourself.

We are experimenting with a new style of podcast. We're still going to have guests on the show but we'd love to hear your feedback on this style. Dan takes this episode to cover one topic. That's right, one. This week's topic is, why are emotions important? We naturally as human beings don't want to feel discomfort right? There's a lot of ways we try to avoid or dodge that uncomfortable feeling. Dan takes the time to thoroughly explain why emotions are important, why emotions need to play a big part of our lives, and why we shouldn't wall off emotions all the time. Now you're riding that high of listening to Dan talk this episode and you're saying to yourself, "Dang, that was amazing. Where can I get more of Dan's inspiration?" You are in luck! Dan Doty's TEDx Talk is now live and available on YouTube. The role of men in our society, as well as what we are asking of men, is shifting.
