On Purpose
Hosted by Steven Di Pietro · EN
In this podcast we will examine how to use Purpose as a tool in our businesses and our everyday lives. My lifetime work has been to understand the connection between intention and action. I also run a real life business in measuring customer service and helping improve it in business. Purpose is the secret weapon, and it can be used just as affectively on ourselves, as it can with businesses.

Nov 17, 201800:08:17Tap to summarizeAli and Todd are under a big tree talking about how they want to continue the fairytale long after the Bachelorette Australia finishes. Some of you will be nauseated by this whole concept. But there's an important message behind all these reality shows.

It’s asked by people of all races and religions.“What’s the point?” inevitably leads to the maddening and futile question about the meaning of life. Asking about the meaning of life is the wrong question, and made wrong by one word.We shouldn’t be seeking the meaning “of” life, but a meaning “to” life. The distinction changes everything.If you are seeking the point “to” something, you can’t find it in the meaning “of” something.
