Jessie Kanzer has been on this podcast before with her book on the Tao Te Ching. In fact, we did an event together earlier this year on that same topic. She is a great author and so fun to speak with. Her latest book comes out this week. It’s called Unlocking Your Inner Zelensky. She was inspired by her own connections to the president of Ukraine, including being in a movie with him. You’ll get to hear more about that in this episode. She uses his life as an example of spiritual concepts that we can all use to empower, inspire, and make the most out of our lives. There is a lot of unrest in the world today but I truly believe that anything we can do to help us get back to our spiritual center will make the world a better place. I hope that you are all well. I hope that you and your family are safe. May Jessie’s message today remind you that an ordinary person can rise up and make a difference.
