John R. Miles

You've become a world-class manager of a life you've stopped inhabiting.

You're winning the efficiency game, but you're losing the human game.

You're stuck because every try to change hits the wall.

It's that invisible barrier made of fear, habit, and the thought that if you stop being useful, you'll stop being enough.

Today, we're done with the audits.

We're going to talk about the threshold.

It's time to stop circling the wall and finally step through the door.

Welcome to Passion Struck.

I'm your host, John Miles.

This is the show where we explore the art of human flourishing and what it truly means to live like it matters.

Each week, I sit down with changemakers, creators, scientists, and everyday heroes to decode the human experience and uncover the tools that help us lead with meaning, heal what hurts, and pursue the fullest expression of who we're capable of becoming.

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.

Hey friends, and welcome back.

This is episode 756, and we're continuing our Purpose by Design series.

Over the last few weeks, we've been building a new framework for how we live.

We started by diagnosing the meaning crisis with Arthur Brooks.

We identified the invisible scorecard, that hollow ledger where we track our responsiveness while our intentionality goes bankrupt.

Then, last week, we ran the numbers on the ROI of aliveness.
