Part 7/14:

A profound part of Rhodes's story revolves around his spiritual growth. Growing up in a disciplined household—his father a school principal—he learned early about the value of discipline, practiced through rigorous training and perfecting habits like the ‘perfect practice’ philosophy shared by his father: "Practice like it's a match, but practice perfectly."

His spiritual journey deepened through exposure to yoga, Vidanta philosophy, and his current marriage to Melanie, a yoga instructor. Rhodes reflects on the distinction between religion, often associated with fear, and spirituality—an experience of liberation and understanding. His wife's grounding influence awakened him to the importance of meditation, inner peace, and self-awareness.
