Dan Miller - Wisdom Meets Passion: When Generations Collide and Collaborate

Praise for
Wisdom Meets Passion

My friend Dan Miller has been teaching people how to discover their lifes calling for more than twenty years, and his best student just may be his son Jared Angaza. These two guys are as different as night and day, but when you combine Dans old-school wisdom with Jareds cutting-edge passion, you get a solid, comprehensive plan for attacking your life and career goals.

Dave Ramsey, New York Times best-selling author and nationally syndicated radio show host

The message presented in this book leaves the door open to two dangerous outcomes. The first is that readers might not take it seriously and continue their lives of mediocrity, thinking small and dismissing the truth held in their hands, thereby denying a surefire call to live out the fullness of who they were created to be. The second and far more dangerous risk is that they believe what is offered here and embark on a journey that drastically alters their lives and the lives of countless others. It wont be safe. It wont be secure. Not by the worlds standards. But it will be epic. It will be worthy. It will be true. Either way, its a risk. Which will you choose?

Kevin Miller, proud son of Dan, honored brother of Jared, and grateful founder of Free Agent Academy

What is more important, wisdom or passion? According to Dan Miller and Jared Angaza, both. They make the brilliant case that you cant succeed in todays worldlet alone be satisfiedby focusing on one at the expense of the other. Thankfully, they show us how to get more of each, using their unique generational perspectives to add depth and texture to the journey.

Wisdom provides the daily insight you need to make it for the long-haul. Passion is the love required to live and work with excellence.
