“When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves.” ― Viktor Frankl

Leigh Anderson is a renowned paramedic in some of the most extreme, high-stakes environments imaginable.

Today, through his speaking, teaching, and writing, he brings these life-saving lessons to the public to help people show up stronger in their careers, relationships, and everyday lives.

In this episode:

• How to lead, adapt, and perform in high-stress environments.

• Lessons from life on the front lines.

• His best tips for success in everyday life.

• How to use failure to your advantage.

In case you missed it: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Episode 240: Rewire Your Habits with Kevin Wathey

"When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be." – Lao Tzu

Why is it so hard to change—even when we know exactly what we need to do?

Why do we keep falling into the same patterns, habits, and distractions—even when they’re hurting us or the people we love?

Dr. Pedram Shojai is a former Taoist monk, doctor of Oriental medicine, and Qigong master. As founder of The Urban Monk, he helps people reclaim their focus, vitality, and purpose.

Pedram is a New York Times bestselling author with eight books translated into 30+ languages.

Blending ancient wisdom with real-world tools, Pedram is here to help you stop chasing symptoms, heal at the root, and step into your personal power.

In this episode:

• Why we resist change (even when we say we want it).

• The truth about anxiety, burnout, and symptom-chasing.

• Daily habits that actually make a difference.

• How you can start living with more clarity, energy, and purpose.

🍿 Let’s WIN THE DAY with Dr. Pedram Shojai!
