Listen "Gene Burke: The Dojo of the Mind: Inner Strength, Leadership, and the Power of Community /Ep 3997"
Episode Synopsis
Hi, I'm Gene Burke Like many, I grew up in a challenging home environment and faced relentless bullying as a child due to insecurities and other struggles. But I want people to know this: you can rise above it. The obstacles we face have the power to shape us, and with the right mindset, they can make us stronger and pave the way for a thriving, fulfilling life. With over 30 years of leadership experience in operations management and more than 20 years dedicated to martial arts—earning the rank of 3rd Dan (third-degree black belt)—I've gained a unique perspective on discipline, resilience, and personal growth. My combined professional background and martial arts journey have deeply influenced my work, inspiring the creation of three books that provide powerful insights into self-discovery and personal development. As the author of The Iron Road, Striking Success, and The Dojo of the Mind, I'm passionate about sharing hard-won lessons to empower others—especially young adults. My goal is to guide readers and learners toward overcoming challenges, avoiding common pitfalls, and building a foundation for success in their personal and professional lives. LinkedIn
