The Inner Frontier with Jonny Miller

"At the age of 24, I was homeless, addicted to heroin, and facing long jail sentences. In the years since I not only found a way to overcome these obstacles to create a life worth living, but I now also help others to do the same." โ€“ Eric Zimmer

Show Notes

๐ŸŽ™๏ธ  Episode Overview

You might have come across Eric through his award-winning podcast โ€˜The One You Feedโ€™ where he has interviewed hundreds of the wisest and most inspiring humans on the planet.

He's also a father, serial entrepreneur, behaviour coach, and author on a quest to understand how we might live more intentional lives.

And we get into the impact that these conversations has had on his life and perspective over the last decade, but we begin with the chapters of his life before the podcast โ€” at age 24 Eric was living out the back of a van, spending $300 a day on his heroin addiction and up to 50 years in jail.

We dive into this transformational journey of recoveryโ€”the gifts and challenges inherent in the AA program as well as his thoughts on what created the conditions for both his addiction and the sobriety that followed.

It was interesting to see how Eric and I share a mutual fascination for questions around how to take insights and apply them to everyday lifeโ€”and the parallels between the Spiritual Habits group program that Eric hosts with the work that Iโ€™ve been involved with around resilience and researching the nervous system.
