© 2026 The Purpose Mastermind: Helping Leaders Get Unstuck and Live with Meaning in Work, Marriage, and Parenting
Description
The Purpose Mastermind is a podcast for leaders who want clarity, direction, and real impact...not just at work, but at home. Too many people succeed professionally while feeling disconnected personally. This podcast helps you close that gap.
Each episode will challenge you to stop living problem-focused and start living purpose-focused.
You’ll learn how to:
- Get unstuck and gain clarity about your life direction
- Discover your purpose and actually live it out daily
- Strengthen your marriage and show up better for your spouse
- Lead your kids with intention, not just react to life
- Bring alignment between your work life and your home life
Because leadership isn’t just about what you accomplish.
It’s about who you become—and how you love the people closest to you.

Some stories change the way you see everything. In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Heng Lim to hear the story of his family’s escape from the Cambodian Killing Fields—a time when life was reduced to survival, and every decision carried unimaginable weight. But this conversation isn’t just about what he went through. It’s about what he learned. What does a person discover about life when everything is stripped away? What does survival teach us about purpose, family, and faith? &...
Why problems in your marriage and parenting are part of the process—not the end of the story. Life doesn’t fall apart because of problems. It’s shaped by how we walk through them. In this episode, we sit down together after one of the most meaningful weekends of our lives—our daughter’s wedding. Moments like that remind us why we give our lives to relationships… and why it’s all worth it. But what happens when your family doesn’t feel like that? What happens when your marriage fe...
Most of us spend years learning how to succeed at work… but almost no time learning how to succeed at home. What works in a professional environment doesn’t automatically work in your family. You may be direct, decisive, and effective at work—but at home, those same approaches can create frustration, disconnection, and tension. In this episode, we talk about why high-performing people often feel stuck or unsuccessful as parents. Just like in the workplace, dysfunction in the home often starts...
People do not struggle with purpose because purpose is unattainable. They struggle because the thought of purpose can feel uncertain, overwhelming, and just out of reach. In this episode, I sit down with Ingo Rauth for a deep conversation about why so many people long for meaning but never take the first step. We talk about how what feels lacking in your life may actually reveal what you are looking for, why changing jobs or relationships does not always solve the deeper issue, and why purpos...
Most people want deeper relationships—but they’re not willing to be open. In this episode, we talk about why so many people struggle to open up, how living closed off quietly damages your relationships, and what it actually looks like to become an open person. Because the truth is simple: The quality of your relationships will never exceed your level of openness. If you’ve ever felt disconnected in your marriage, distant from your kids, or surface-level in your friendships, this episode will ...
In this episode, I sit down with Marty Hoffman, host of the Kill Complacency podcast, for a real and organic conversation about purpose, intentionality, and why so many people drift through life. We talk about why living on purpose is not a one-time decision, but a daily choice. We also explore why people often stay stuck in problems like complacency, addiction, discouragement, and unhealthy habits—not because they are weak, but because they don’t yet have something greater to live for. In th...
Friendship is often misunderstood among men. Many of us were raised to believe that strong men don’t need close friendships—that independence is strength and vulnerability is weakness. But the truth is, isolation slowly wears a man down. In this episode, I talk about the importance of friendship for men and why real connection matters more than most of us realize. Friendship doesn’t happen through performance or pretending to have everything together. It happens when we are willing to be ours...
What happens when the dream you’ve chased your whole life suddenly ends? In this episode, I sit down with a former Major League Baseball pitcher to talk about the transition from professional sports to everyday life. For years, his identity was built around the game—training, competing, and performing on the biggest stage in baseball. But like every athlete, there eventually came a day when the game was over. We talk honestly about what that transition is like. For many boys, sports are a cen...
Discouragement is one of the most common reasons people stop pursuing the life they truly want. When problems pile up, it’s easy to focus so much on what’s wrong that we lose sight of where we’re going. In this episode, we talk about how discouragement works and how to overcome it. Instead of letting problems consume your focus, there is a better path forward: reconnecting with purpose and continuing to build the life your heart is longing for. You’ll learn why discouragement happens, why foc...
Instinctually we all want to live in a comfort zone. But it holds us back from our potential.

If you feel stuck, restless, or capable of more, this conversation is for you. Support the show

In the episode Mark has a conversation with Aaron Goodman about how human beings change. In Aaron's words, "Vulnerability is the tipping point of change." Change is hard. We oftentimes try to change by doing something impressive, or powerful. But we actually change through the pathway of being vulnerable. In this episode Mark talked about The Purpose Challenge.

How does a man lead in his own home? I think it’s fair to say that most of us men start a family without any concept of what it means to lead in the home. It does not take long before a man’s lack of confidence as a leader begins to show up. Leading outside of the home has challenges for sure, but the dynamics of leading in the home are different. It is easier to be an effective leader in the board room than it is in the living room. Here are principles for how to effectively lead...
In this episode Adena has a conversation with Robin Goad. Robin Goad spent most of her life building a successful career while compartmentalizing her pain in her personal life.

By facing what was holding her back, she found new life through vulnerability, authenticity, and surrender. She is launching her book, Girl by Birth, Woman by Fire, in January 2026, whi...
