Finding Purpose with davidji

Show notes

This week on the Mind Full Podcast, I’m joined by the man who lit a fire in my belly, not with a curry, but with his voice, his message, and perfect timing.


You know that feeling when something just clicks? That was me the first time I heard davidji. I’d been circling the mindfulness space for years, searching for something deeper but most of it felt like it wasn’t meant for someone like me. Then one stressed-out night, flicking through internet radio, I stumbled on a voice that felt like a warm blanket. He was wise, hilarious, and somehow made the esoteric feel accessible. That voice belonged to davidji.


Today, davidji is not only a bestselling author as well as a teacher to Navy SEALs and CEOs, he’s a great friend of mine. This week, we dive into purpose - what it means, how to find it, and why it's never too late to redefine who we are.
