An enrolled member of the Ottawa Tribe of Michigan, D.J. was born to impoverished teenage parents. He went from sleeping in a drawer for the first three months of his life to becoming a proud graduate of the U.S. Air Force Academy, a decorated Air Force captain, a renowned member of the tribal community, a bestselling author, and a revered motivational speaker. A true warrior, who is successful in both business and life, he credits these personal triumphs to traditional teachings and ceremony as well as his service as a military officer.
D.J. and I discuss his new book, The Warrior Within, and the stories and principals he shares often rooted in Native American culture and wisdom.
In this episode we discuss:
-The sigificance of your 'medicine bag' in Native American culture and how you can use it
-Why sometimes the biggest challenge to seeing our vision come true are because of the people closest to us
-The importance of creating your own war cry, how to keep your fire lit, and more..
