Drifting On Purpose

On this week's episode of Drifting On Purpose,  we talk about Authenticity and why it's key to uncovering your truest path forward. We explore the SPANE scale of emotion, vulnerability, courage and the strength it takes to show up for yourself on the daily. We chat about celebrities and athletes like Babe Ruth, Taylor Swift, Michael Jordan and David Beckham and how they use their vulnerability and opportunities to overcome obstacles to align with their true selves. We share stories of our own personal experiences, practices on how to listen to your inner knowledge and drop a few of our favorite quotes from Ralph Waldo Emerson, Eric Butterworth and more. Join us as we cultivate a community for growth, authenticity and showing up just as you are.

In this week's episode we are inspired by and go deep in discussing the ideas from the book The Second Mountain by David Brooks. It’s all about the concept that there are two halves of life.

Brooks says, “Their goals on the first mountain are the ones our culture endorses. To be a success, to make your mark, to experience personal happiness. But when they get to the top of that mountain something happens. They look around and find the view unsatisfying. They realize. This isn't my mountain after all. There's another, bigger mountain out there that is actually my mountain. And so they embark on a new journey.”

Topics discussed:

3:00 - The two halves of life
4:00 - Happiness vs. joy
5:00 - Gratitude
7:00 - Practicing gratitude with kids
9:00 - Living a committed life
11:00 - Discipline
15:00 - Answering the call - Purpose
17:00 - Surround yourself with good people
19:00 - “you're at the right place at the right time.”
