The great quest - to find meaning in life. I devoted my life to filling all the roles, pursuing all the achievements, and engaging with all the relationships I thought would provide the greatest meaning to my life. Only to come to the reckoning that the world doesn't give meaning to my life. I do. Join me as I discuss how we make meaning from our lives and how we can satisfy ourselves in every moment, regardless of the circumstances. kevinmiller.co *Over 75 million downloads, 350 expert guests, 1,700 episodes...and the journey continues on the podcast evolution from 'The Ziglar Show' to 'The Self-Helpful Podcast' to 'What Drives You' to 'The Kevin Miller Podcast'...","last_synced_at":"2026-07-21T08:17:30.000848+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-kevin-miller-podcast-1066460"},"episode":{"title":"How To Move Through Modern Life With Inner Calm w/ Former Monk Dandapani","slug":"how-to-move-through-modern-life-with-inner-calm-w-former-monk-dandapani","published_at":"2026-06-19T16:07:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-kevin-miller-podcast-1066460/how-to-move-through-modern-life-with-inner-calm-w-former-monk-dandapani","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-kevin-miller-podcast-1066460","url":"https://www.podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/pdst.fm/e/cohst.app/pdcst/8V6C6E/pscrb.fm/rss/p/traffic.megaphone.fm/YAP7149348086.mp3","audio_url":"https://www.podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/pdst.fm/e/cohst.app/pdcst/8V6C6E/pscrb.fm/rss/p/traffic.megaphone.fm/YAP7149348086.mp3","summary":"My guest is Dandapani. He became an ordained Hindu monk under the guidance of one of Hinduism’s foremost spiritual leaders of our time. For 10 years he lived a life of serious personal discipline and training at his guru’s cloistered monastery in Hawaii. Here he learned to control his mind. He learned to focus. And he believes this is the key to finding one’s purpose. We would probably all agree that it is easier to focus when you live in a monastery in Hawaii. Dandapani readily agrees. Yet he believed the teachings would work in the outside world as well, and now he’s proved it. He left the monastery and moved to New York where he started a business, got married, and became a father. Today he is a highly sought-after international speaker and leading expert on leveraging the human mind and the power of focus to create a life of purpose and joy. I just attended an event in LA with 5,000 attendees and spoke onstage along with Dandapani. I inspire myself to see him remaining centered and at peace, even as he endures the busyness of travel, work, and family like the rest of us. He has a book, The Power of Unwavering Focus. One concept from his message has changed my life. That of the mind being a vast space with many different areas and our awareness is a glowing orb of our focus that can only light up one room at a time. I invite you to settle into this discussion.
