Tony Bonnici is the Founder of Zen Men and Dojo Integrated Leadership. Throughout his 30 years in entrepreneurship, Tony has learned to blend ancient wisdom, the teaching of Zen, and entrepreneurship to generate millions in revenue and help other entrepreneurs succeed in all areas of their lives. He is the author of The Dojo: The Ancient Wisdom of Integrative Leadership for the Modern Entrepreneur, where he teaches readers how to be integrated leaders in their relationships, health, and spirituality.

Tony joins us today to explain what it means to become an integrated entrepreneur. He describes his experience writing The Dojo despite having dyslexia and explains what the book’s “four pillars” mean. He discusses how not being integrated cost him some important moments in his life and how he started taking baby steps to cultivate a spiritual practice. He also highlights the power of letting emotions be fluid in any situation and underscores using fear as a mechanism for growth and development.

“When you start to own the same vision or challenge for yourself in your relationships, spiritual practice, or body, your work and legacy take on a whole new life and meaning.” - Tony Bonnici
