Whether you're designing your future, developing as a leader, or seeking deeper alignment in your life, this show is your invitation to grow with purpose and act with intention.

Because the secret to a life of deep purpose, connection, and impact...

is choosing to live like you matter.

Welcome back friends to episode 760 of Passion Struck.

I am so glad you're here.

Whether this is your first time or your hundredth, thank you for being part of this global community of people who are committed to living intentionally, leading with purpose.

and creating a world where every person feels like they matter.

Today's conversation is part of our monthly Purpose by Design series, where we've been exploring a simple but profound idea that purpose isn't something you find, it's something you design through your choices, through your relationships, and through the meaning you create every day.

If this show has ever inspired you or helped you take one meaningful step forward, the best way to support it is simple.

First, share this episode with someone who will find it valuable.

Second, leave a five-star rating or review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.

It helps new listeners discover these conversations.

Throughout this series, we've been exploring purpose from multiple dimensions.

We began with Arthur Brooks examining the growing crisis of meaning and why fulfillment is something we can cultivate.

Then, with best-selling author Kayla Shaheen, we turned inward, looking at how our unseen patterns shape the life we build.

With Stanford professor Claude Steele, we examined identity and the hidden forces that shape how we show up in the world.

With Angela Meyers, we looked at mattering itself and how feeling seen, valued, and needed changes everything.

Then last week, two extraordinary conversations helped deepen the arc.

Last Tuesday with Nobel laureate Alvin Roth, we examined how systems, incentives, and social norms quietly influence our choices.

Then last Thursday with Diana Hill, we explored wise effort.
