#195: Leading with Play, Presence, and Spiritual Practice with John Quirk

What if presence, play, and trust were the real tools for transformation?
In this episode, Joshua is joined by John Quirk—yoga teacher, retreat leader, and heart-led entrepreneur—for a conversation that blends depth, humor, and grounded insight. John shares his journey from corporate burnout to building a life centered on embodiment, community, and spiritual practice.

They explore what it takes to live in alignment over the long haul—from surrendering control to embracing discipline, and letting go of the myth that there’s a “right way” to grow. Whether it’s ice baths, roller hockey, or leading over 70 retreats, John brings a lightness and clarity to the work of becoming yourself.
A grounded, energizing conversation for anyone walking the path of real, sustainable growth.
