In 2013, Dan “Nitro” Clark went from American Gladiator to heart attack survivor. Rather than letting it beat him, though, Dan was eventually able to turn his near-death experience into inspiration for positive change in his own life as well as helping others.
For seven years, Dan Clark played “Nitro,” the iconic American
Gladiator. Before that, he was a defensive lineman at San Jose
State University and even played for the Los Angeles Rams. He
measured his happiness based on achievements, getting the “right”
outcomes.

Taking away such a man’s physical power could easily rob him of his
will to live. The aftermath of Dan’s heart attack might have
crushed his spirit, but he had other plans. Since this
life-altering experience, Dan now sees life through a different
lens - one that includes slowing down, being more mindful, serving
others, smiling more, and even being vulnerable. Through his new
book, he’s sharing this story, and his insights with the world.
Join Andy for an enlightening and uplifting conversation with a man
you may never have thought had a sensitive side. Learn how Dan was
able to relinquish his happiness-crushing need for control, how he
uses meditation to help maintain perspective in the face of
adversity, and find out Dan’s techniques for daily progress toward
unconditional happiness.
