Fire needs fuel—our leadership needs purpose. We dive straight into the why behind the work, tracing the moments that shaped our convictions and the practices that keep them alive. From a powerful birth story that reset identity to three years serving in the jungles of Papua New Guinea, we unpack how a clear purpose turns fear into focus and even gives meaning to hardship. The thread runs from the deeply personal to the highly practical: how purpose informs vision, how values guide daily choices, and how alignment between personal calling and company mission can transform culture, hiring, generosity, and impact.

We share the backbone of our framework—the five priorities—and explain why purpose sits at the top. You’ll hear how a family business grew by placing mission at the center, tithing as a company, and stewarding resources to empower others to flourish. We make the case that purpose is more than a statement on a wall; it’s a decision filter that shapes what you start, what you stop, and what you stay with when the road gets long. When vision (where you’re going) and values (how you act) integrate with purpose (why it matters), leaders gain clarity that scales.

If you’ve felt adrift or unsure how to turn a vague calling into concrete action, we walk through tools that help: the Prioritized Leader Purpose module with video guidance and a workbook to define personal purpose, organizational purpose, and lived values; plus our Epic Story: All In resources that root identity and calling in a redemptive narrative. Whether you’re building a startup, leading a team, or rethinking your career, this conversation offers a path to align your why with your work and live it out with courage and consistency.

If this resonates, subscribe, leave a review, and share it with a leader who needs a spark. Then check the show notes for links to the assessment and Epic Story resources, and tell us: what’s the next decision your purpose needs to shape?
