Want to build a life and business around doing what you love? Me too. Let's connect. When I first started  The School of Greatness, I had a vision of the type of guests I wanted to have come on eventually. I thought of the many mentors, thought leaders, entrepreneurs and athletes who I looked up to so much. Today's guest is one of those people and I am so grateful and excited I finally got to interview him. Dan Millman is one of the standout authors, speakers, and spiritual giants in our world today. He has written over 16 books (one of which really changed the game for me), traveled the world speaking, and has been a world-class athlete and coach for decades. Talking with Dan was an incredible experience because he has so much perspective and such a calm energy that I could ask him anything and he had a wise answer. We covered his journey to being a world champion in gymnastics, his journey as a bestselling author, and his favorite books and spiritual leaders.
