I absolutely love this podcast! Lori shares such deep wisdom and practical lessons that truly resonate. The blend of samurai philosophy with modern life and business is refreshing and empowering. Each episode leaves me feeling inspired and more grounded. Thank you, Lori, for creating something so meaningful and motivating!
“The Samurai Way” episode beautifully captures the essence of discipline, honor, and purpose. I loved how it connected ancient wisdom with modern life challenges — it reminded me to stay grounded and intentional in everything I do. The narration was calm yet powerful, and every lesson felt deeply relevant. Definitely one of those episodes you’ll want to listen to more than once!
I really enjoyed the episode on Bushido. It was interesting to learn about the Samuri code and how the values of honour, discipline, compassion, and integrity still matter today. I appreciated the thoughtful way this ancient wisdom was connected to modern life. I look forward to listening to more episodes.
This show is wonderful! It's not every day that someone truly understands what it takes to excel in business but Lori truly does. She has a unique approach that blends ancient Japanese wisdom with modern day principles to help any leader excel! Thanks, Lori for bringing this show to the world. Hugely valuable! 🏆
I love this podcast! It is both powerful and timely even though it is ancient wisdom. So glad I found this!
