Imagine growing up with one of the world’s most famous spiritual teachers as your dad… Would you feel overshadowed? Would it cause you to rebel? And what kind of insider info would you glean when your whole life’s been steeped in spiritual traditions? I was beyond excited to ask these questions — and so much more — of today’s incredible podcast guest, Don Miguel Ruiz Junior.

Don Miguel Ruiz Senior — a.k.a. his father — has sold more than 10 million books, is the author of the bestselling The Four Agreements (among many others), and is considered a ‘national treasure’ in his native Mexico.
After apprenticing to his dad and grandma for ten years, Don Miguel Ruiz Jr. has built on the lessons and philosophies he grew up with, to define and embody his own concept of personal freedom while achieving peace with all of creation. Fusing ancient Toltec wisdom with modern spirituality, this is a soul with much to share and a huge passion for empowering others.
