Optimized: The Evolution Of The DNA Of Purpose

It has been a while since I have dropped an episode. And in that time, I discovered something interesting.I talked about one core theme for 108 episodes of The DNA Of Purpose. That purpose is an energy in motion, and that our purpose evolves just as we do. What I didn't factor into that conversation was that sometimes something needs to die to evolve. Sometimes that something is a story, a belief or a pattern of behaviour. In other cases, it might be a project, a job or a business. The Great Resignation is a testament to the fact that there are chapters in our life where we rethink everything we thought we knew or everything we are currently doing. When I released the last episode of DNA Of Purpose in April off this year, I had no idea it would be the final episode of that iteration of the podcast. Quite simply, what happened was that my life was evolving faster than the podcast - and that evolution was fundamentally changing me.  Professionally it has been an exciting year of levelling up as a speaker, with the excitement of once again being on stage and connecting with real human beings. Yet, personally, it has also been a year of great loss with family members and friends passing. I also turned 40 - and somehow realized that I was staring at an hourglass, watching time pass me by, showing with purpose, but somehow inside of me I knew there was more. That there was something else. Since then I have followed the breadcrumbs...Essentially, I knew I wanted to play a bigger game. One that incorporated a more integrated version of me, fusing my passion for purpose alongside my professional experience as an authority in the world of business influence and as an advocate for the power of intelligent optimism. I just knew that when the trinity of purpose, optimism and influence come together in a leadership capacity, we empower people not only to be the change the world needs....but to lead it. Welcome To The New Age of Optimization.
