In this episode of The Better Than Rich Show, Mike Abramowitz chats with Mike Brcic, a serial entrepreneur and global adventurer, about self-discovery, authenticity, and connection. Brcic introduces the concept of “loyal soldiers”—coping mechanisms from childhood—and the importance of recognizing and thanking them. He shares his morning routine, which includes stretching, reading, breath work, meditation, and journaling, as vital practices for tuning into his core self.
Brcic emphasizes the significance of self-awareness in distinguishing between our highest self and our egoic self. He uses a metaphor of Japanese fighter pilots to illustrate how our loyal soldiers need acknowledgment and gratitude. This process is essential for personal growth and healing.
Curiosity plays a crucial role in the journey of self-discovery. Brcic describes this journey as a process of coming home—reconnecting with oneself, others, and the natural world. He stresses that connection is key to addressing many of the world’s problems and leading a fulfilling life.
