The gateway to your purpose

The gateway to your purpose

This week on the pod, I’m in conversation with George Peterson, meditation teacher and author of Thrive. 

Prior to finding his calling, George was an addict. Heroin, alcohol, you name it.

If you knew George back in those days, he would lie, steal from you, or manipulate you in whatever way it took to feed his $100 a day drug habit.

But little did George know, his 8th or 9th rock bottom moment would be the gateway to his higher purpose.

In our conversation, George shares the raw aspects of his journey—including the story of how getting arrested saved his life.

Here’s a preview of our conversation:

1:23 - Why meditation is easier than you think

6:32 - How trauma leads to addiction

19:03 - What makes overcoming addiction difficult

33:15 - The practice that led to sobriety

40:29 - How to forgive yourself for past mistakes

47:23 - The key to inner happiness isn't obvious

51:45 - Want to quit your 9 to 5? Try this instead

58:07 - Why there's no Plan B if you want to live your dream

1:02:18 - How to stop holding yourself back

Whether you're dealing with stress, addiction, or just the chaos of daily life, hearing George’s story in his own words will leave you feeling hopeful and inspired.
