What Creates Lasting Transformation? From Homeless Heroin Addict to Prolific Podcaster + Behaviour Change Coach with Eric Zimmer

🎙️  Episode OverviewYou might have come across Eric through his award-winning podcast ‘The One You Feed’ where he has interviewed hundreds of the wisest and most inspiring humans on the planet.He's also a father, serial entrepreneur, behaviour coach, and author on a quest to understand how we might live more intentional lives.And we get into the impact that these conversations has had on his life and perspective over the last decade, but we begin with the chapters of his life before the podcast — at age 24 Eric was living out the back of a van, spending $300 a day on his heroin addiction and up to 50 years in jail.We dive into this transformational journey of recovery—the gifts and challenges inherent in the AA program as well as his thoughts on what created the conditions for both his addiction and the sobriety that followed.It was interesting to see how Eric and I share a mutual fascination for questions around how to take insights and apply them to everyday life—and the parallels between the Spiritual Habits group program that Eric hosts with the work that I’ve been involved with around resilience and researching the nervous system. 🔗  Show Notes + Links🎙️   Subscribe to the 'One You Feed' podcast on Spotify👨‍🎓   Learn more about Eric's 8-week Spiritual Habits Program🖥️   Watch his superb TEDx talk on the battle of changing your behaviourConnect + Explore More from Jonny🐦  Follow on Twitter/X @jonnym1ller🫁  Learn more about Nervous System Mastery🪷 Order our deck of Calm Cards (these make great gifts)📱  Check out Stateshift — our brand new iOS + Android app📝  Take the Nervous System Quotient (NSQ) Self-Assessment (totally free)💌 Sign up to The Inner Frontier Newsletter
