S1 E19 - Soccer: How Humans Turned Kicking Stuff Into Purpose
Update: 2025-10-22
Description
In this episode of Purpose, we kick off with the story of soccer — the world’s most popular sport and the most chaotic human invention.
From ancient Chinese games to medieval mob football, to modern stadium spectacles, soccer has always been messy, hilarious, and oddly purposeful.
We explore the invention of the game, the science behind why we love it, the absurd moments that make it unforgettable, and the life lessons hidden in a ball bouncing across a field.
By the end, you’ll realize that soccer isn’t just a game — it’s a reflection of humanity: imperfect, passionate, and always worth showing up for.
