Dana Lupton’s love affair with dance has taken her from the first housing project in Atlanta, Georgia to the Gold Room of the White House.  Along the way, she overcomes her own childhood prejudices, discovers the meaning of selfless mentorship, and co-founds a youth-development non-profit, “Moving in the Spirit” that is dedicated to creating compassionate leaders through dance.

In this powerful interview with Joy Economics host Shani Godwin, Dana provides an intimate look into her own personal and professional struggles with finding her purpose in life and offers some simple steps we can all take to live the life we’re meant to live.

We are all familiar with the archetypal hero who risks life and limb for the greater good. They’re portrayed in the movies donning super powers, celebrated in the news for their bravery and defined as human exceptions in our collective psyche. But, what if a hero resides in all of us? Seems like an audacious suggestion, but what if it’s true? And if so, how could this realization impact you and the lives of those around you? 

These are just a few of the questions Joy Economics host, Shani Godwin explores in her interview with Rodney Bullard, author of “Heroes Wanted: Why the World Needs You to Live Your Heart Out”.
