In this episode, I sit down with my longtime friend and respected colleague, Judge Scott Jordan. Scott’s life has been a remarkable journey of service, compassion, and spiritual growth. We talk about his decision to become a conscientious objector during the Vietnam War, his work as a family court judge, and his path through meditation, Judaism, and Buddhism. He’s served immigrant families, volunteered in HIV clinics in Africa, and supported people in hospice care. His values run deep, and so does his wisdom.

This conversation is honest, thoughtful, and filled with insights about how to live with purpose. I’m grateful to share it with you.

In Episode 41 of Dragon Slaying, I sit down with my brilliant cousin, Michael Dallen, for a heartfelt and wide-ranging conversation. We talk about his upcoming travels through Asia, the state of global trade, and the kind of leadership the world desperately needs today.
