In today’s episode, we have the pleasure to interview Rick Walker, author of 9 Steps to Build a Life of Meaning: How to Unlock Your Mind, Happiness, Power, and Your Enemies’ Demise.
Rick is a high-impact founder, philosopher, and private equity leader who built a 400-person company by age 26, scaled a 2,000+ team member nonprofit across 53 countries, and helped bring $5 billion in capital investment to his hometown. He’s advised billionaires, met privately with a U.S. President, and draws his insights from a lifetime of studying ancient texts, world religions, and strategic leadership.
In this episode, you’ll learn how to escape a life of comfort that’s killing your potential, why choosing a worthy enemy is the fastest way to unlock purpose, and what it truly takes to sacrifice the present to win the future.
We hope you enjoy this incredible conversation with Rick Walker.
