Purpose – A Journey Into Meaning
Welcome to Purpose, a podcast that delves into the profound pursuit of meaning that defines the human experience. Rooted in the Latin propositum—“a thing proposed, an intention”—the word purpose speaks to our innate desire to live with direction, intention, and clarity. It is not merely a destination, but a compass—guiding our choices, shaping our identity, and anchoring us in something greater than ourselves.
In each episode, we explore the essence of purpose through thoughtful conversations, reflective storytelling, and timeless wisdom.

Music didn’t start with Spotify playlists or Billboard charts — it started with human beings trying to make sense of life. From ancient drums echoing around fires to monks shaping the first scales, to jazz bending every rule and hip-hop rewriting the world — music has always been our emotional fingerprint.In this episode of Purpose, we dive into the unexpected origin story of music, the wild science behind why your brain reacts the way it does, how genres evolved into the soundscape of today, and why some songs feel like therapy while others feel like a crisis you didn’t order. It’s reflective, hilarious, and deeply human — a reminder that the soundtrack of our lives says more about us than we think.Get ready to travel from bone flutes to Beyoncé, from classical theory to Afrobeats, and from the physics of sound to the vibes that make you who you are. This is music like you’ve never heard it explained before — with elegance, humor, and Purpose.”
Money is not what you think it is. It doesn’t just buy things — it shapes how we live, love, and believe.

Along the way, we mix humor, revelation, and wisdom from the greatest money minds of history, showing that wealth is less about income and more about insight, agency, and trust.
Names.The first thing we are given in life — and the one thing we didn’t get to vote on.In this episode of Purpose, we explore the quiet power of names: how they shape identity, how they carry history, and how sometimes they feel like they came from a baby book someone flipped through too fast.We talk about names as prayers, names as labels, names that arrive with expectations, and names we have to grow into like shoes that are slightly too big.We dive into Africa, Europe, colonization, psychology, and the emotional moment when someone finally says your name right.With humor, warmth, and honesty, this episode reminds us:Your name is not your destiny.You give your name its meaning.You are the author of the story attached to it.
Fashion. La mode.The art of waking up, staring into a closet full of clothes, and declaring:“I have nothing to wear.”In this episode of Purpose, we explore the story of fashion — from cavemen in fur coats serving Ice Age couture, to French kings inventing luxury, to us today wearing outfits that are 49% self-expression and 51% hoping someone notices.We dig into the history, the psychology, and the delightful absurdity behind why humans care so much about clothes — even though we pretend we don’t.We talk identity, confidence, culture, and how an outfit can whisper things we’re not always brave enough to say out loud.With humor, elegance, reflection, and a very light roast of every regrettable outfit we’ve ever worn, this episode reminds us that fashion isn’t superficial — it’s storytelling.It’s meaning stitched into fabric.It’s the language we speak before we speak.Because purpose isn’t just something you feel.Sometimes… it’s something you wear.

We have 5,000 followers — but no one to help us move a couch.Welcome to the age of digital connection and emotional disconnection.In this episode of Purpose, we explore the loneliness of the connected — a deep, funny, science-backed look at how we became the most “plugged-in” generation in history and yet somehow the most alone.You’ll laugh, you’ll nod, and maybe you’ll even text someone you actually miss.From neuroscience to nostalgia, from dopamine to DMs, this episode reminds us that true connection doesn’t come from Wi-Fi — it comes from presence.Because validation isn’t intimacy.And attention isn’t love.And maybe, just maybe, the next viral trend should be… eye contact.
In a world obsessed with self-improvement, have we forgotten how to simply be?This episode of Purpose takes a deep, funny, and science-backed look at the quiet war between becoming and being — between chasing who we’re supposed to be and accepting who we already are.Through psychology, mindfulness studies, and a few laughs about our “five-a.m. miracle routines,” we explore why we’re addicted to progress, how our brains confuse growth with peace, and why sometimes the most productive thing you can do… is nothing.Because purpose isn’t always found in motion — sometimes it’s hiding in stillness, waiting for you to stop scrolling long enough to hear it.
What if the universe was trying to remind you of your own purpose… with fireworks?In this episode of Purpose, we look up — literally — at the rare Draconid meteor shower.

But beyond the science, it’s a mirror for life: how something so brief can shine so brightly, and how purpose doesn’t need permanence to leave a mark.With humor, reflection, and a touch of stargazer wonder, this episode explores why the meteors matter, why patience pays off, and how even our fleeting lives can leave trails of light.
What if the world’s most beloved comedian never needed a punchline?In this episode of Purpose, we dive into the quiet brilliance of Mr. Bean — the silent, clumsy, slightly deranged man-child who somehow became a global icon.

But it doesn’t stop there.Because purpose, as we’ll explore, isn’t erased by failure — it’s shaped by it.This isn’t just a story about scandal.
