We tend to think of spirituality as a way to free ourselves. But the truth is, just with anything else of substance in your life, spirituality needs structure.
WELCOME TO THE DARIN OLIEN SHOW
Dandapani helps athletes and entrepreneurs leverage their minds to achieve their goals.
I was introduced to Dandapani by my amazing assistant Indira. And let me tell you, I am so glad she brought this guy into my radar. I didn’t realize how badly I needed his wisdom until I heard him speak it. And I have a sneaking suspicion it will be the same for you.
As a former monk, Dandapani knows all about structure and discipline. And now as a Hindu priest, he uses his wealth of experience and knowledge to help others discover their own spirituality. But if you’re expecting a quiet, reserved man who speaks in parables, that’s not what you’re going to get. Dandapani will break all your expectations of what a spiritual teacher should look and sound like. In fact, he’ll break all your expectations of what spirituality should be as well.
This conversation was mindblowing on so many levels. His concepts are simple. But Dandapani’s perspective is so earth-shatteringly accurate, you’ll wonder how you got by without hearing it before. No matter what your beliefs are, or what religion you were brought up in - trust me, you’ll get something from this episode. I can’t wait for you to hear.

I’m just gonna say it, your commitment for being better, your commitment for learning, growing, expanding, and we need it.

We need to support ourselves. Long-form conversations, it’s okay to disagree. Don’t be in judgment. And we need to create the future. That’s what I’m excited about. That’s the things that I am focused on more than ever, the future that is now. So taking that initiative to building and creating, find your tribe, find your people and keep creating the life that you want. Don’t stop, don’t ever stop.
