Meet Denis Morton, one of the many talented instructors at OnePeloton. What I love so much about this interview is Denis' honesty, and the forthcoming way in which he shares his wins and losses in his world, and how everything he's done has helped shape his life as it is today.   I'm lucky to have had the chance to interview Denis, and you're lucky to hear it.   This is one of the best conversations I've had on FTN since I launched the podcast over two years ago.   Enjoy!   -Peter   In this episode, Peter and Denis discuss: 0:40- A big thank you to Sudio.com for sponsoring this podcast!! 2:00- Intro and welcome! 2:25- Denis’ bio 2:58- Walk us through your history, won’t you? 5:07- I did the things I had to do in order to do the things I wanted to do. 5:14- Did you find enjoyment an any of the ‘have to’ tasks? 5:44- Would you talk a little more about getting comfortable with that jagged edge and how you deal with fear? 6:16- Susan Jeffers book and Denis’ nickname “The Shaman of Spin”  6:55- On the cycle you’re working on and the cycle that you are in 7:54- Joseph Campbell always talks about slaying your dragons 8:20- Ripping it up and rolling the dice, again, again and again 9:38- “Fairy tales do not tell children the dragons exist.
