Sid McNairy is a Quantum Master Healer, spiritual teacher, author of The Warrior Within and The Secret Weapon: How to Peacefully Win at Life, and recipient of the 2024 World Peace Award. He’s also the visionary behind Inner Stand, a framework for conscious leadership and cultural renewal that’s rooted in indigenous wisdom, meditation, and energetic coherence.

In this conversation, Sid and I explore the path from performance to peace—how we shift away from external validation and into true inner alignment. We talk about his journey from being a Division I football coach and yoga teacher at the White House, to becoming a global ambassador of peace, weaving together meditation, sacred plant medicine, music, and healing practices.

Some of the big themes we cover:

• Redefining success as inner peace rather than external achievements

• Sid’s early near-death experience and how it shaped his spiritual path

• The role of meditation in cultivating presence, resilience, and humility

• Plant medicine, vision quests, and the lessons they revealed

• His personal experiences with blindness and physical challenges as spiritual teachers

• The difference between understanding, inner-standing, and over-standing

• The practices Sid teaches for cultivating peace every day (his CREATE framework)

• Music, storytelling, and creativity as tools for healing and connection

• What it really means to be a “warrior for peace”

This is a deep and moving conversation about peace, healing, and remembering who we truly are.
