Tony Bonnici is the founder of Zen Men and Dojo Integrated Leadership. He is the author of The Dojo: The Ancient Wisdom of Integrative Leadership for the Modern Entrepreneur, which teaches readers how to be integrated leaders in their relationships, health, and spirituality. Through decades of experience in business, Tony has blended ancient wisdom, Zen, and entrepreneurship to generate millions in revenue. He has taught his method to clients and invites them from around the world to The Dojo, where he helps them develop their businesses and create fulfilling lives.

Tony joins me today to discuss his book, The Dojo, and what it means to be an integrated entrepreneur. He explains how his experiences being raised in a Buddhist temple and being in business for over 30 years make The Dojo stand out from other personal development books. He describes how co-creating The Dojo with his mom gave them healing and deepened their connection. Tony also discusses why being an entrepreneur is an “inside” game and highlights why slowing down is necessary to be an integrated entrepreneur.

“Entrepreneurs: the business you’re in is not your identity and is not who you are as a human being. There’s a world out there that will enhance what it means to be an entrepreneur.” - Tony Bonnici
