Show Notes

“Bruce Lee’s Superpower is Self-Mastery.” – Shannon Lee

My special guest this episode is Shannon Lee who is the daughter of the Martial Arts Icon Bruce Lee.  She is a martial artist, an actress, and the CEO of the Bruce Lee Family Company, which is on a mission to share the art and philosophy of Bruce Lee to inspire personal growth, positive energy, and global harmony.  She is the Author of Be Water My Friend and behind the success of the superhit TV Show "Warrior."

This is a special episode for me as I get to sit down and flow with the daughter of the founder of Jeet Kune Do.  We talk about Bruce Lee’s philosophical teachings and how they can be applied in our daily lives.  My Key takeaway is that Bruce Lee’s Superpower is Self-Mastery, and that he never considered himself a master, but rather an eternal student.  We dive deep into the concept of flow and the process of self-actualization, and how martial arts philosophy can be used to discover our true potential and honestly express our best selves.  This was a deeply insightful conversation and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
