Episode Description

In this podcast, Greg Voisen sits down with Kurt Krueger, a true "Renaissance man" whose life story reads like an adventure novel—from record-breaking All-American swimmer and water polo coach to a high-stakes survivor of a 1977 airplane hijacking. As the author of "Winning Ways for Living: Get Smarter ~ Perform Better," Kurt shares how 45 years of researching peak performance led him to a startling conclusion: the ultimate "peak" isn't found in a trophy, but in a global vision of peace. Throughout this gripping conversation, Kurt reveals the "Peacemaker’s Miracle Meditation"—an elegantly simple practice he used to transform gang-heavy inner-city schools and transmute his own life-threatening experiences into a mission for harmony. He challenges the notion that peace is a passive state, instead presenting it as an active, creative force that can be scaled from a single classroom to the world stage. If you’ve ever felt paralyzed by the conflict in the news, Kurt’s journey from elite athletics to the Peacemaker Circles Network offers a radical, science-backed shift in perspective that proves "peak peace" is the highest performance level of all.
