Welcome back everyone! On Season 1 Episode 3 of The Pursuit of Purpose we discuss the fallout from the Jussie Smollett case, engage in our first interview with an extremely knowledgable registered dietitian, Becky Johns,  update you on our monthly book, and wrap up discussions on our “Fitness February” competition.

Again a special thanks to Mark Cruz (aka DJ Fatrok) for letting us use one of his sick tracks for our intro/outro music. To get updates and listen to more music from Mark, check him out on Instagram (@fatrok), and check out his Spotify & Soundcloud accounts.

As always, please find links and information to various stories, articles, and other items we discuss (below). Please subscribe via iTunes, GooglePlay, and Stitcher and we hope to hear from you! AV & DJ
