Description

In this episode of The Samurai Way, I sit down with Dennis C. Miller, a nationally recognized expert in nonprofit leadership and board governance, who embodies the Japanese principle of Ganbaru โ€” never giving up.

Dennisโ€™s journey is nothing short of inspiring. From a childhood marked by hardship and rejection to working as a hotel houseman, he eventually rose to become the CEO of major healthcare organizations, the founder of an executive search firm, and a trusted coach to nonprofit leaders. Along the way, he discovered the power of resilience, purpose, and self-belief.

Together, we explore how Dennis transformed adversity into strength, the role of Ganbaru in his success, and why true fulfillment comes from giving back. His story is a powerful reminder that no matter how many times life knocks us down, we can always rise again.
