In this episode of The Pursuit of Purpose, Chris Kiefer sits down with Kevin Banks, entrepreneur, real estate consultant, and passionate advocate of the Working Genius framework, to explore how understanding your natural wiring can completely transform the way you work, lead, and collaborate.

Kevin shares how a simple 10-minute assessment gave him language for what he had always felt but couldn’t explain, and how that clarity reshaped not only his work, but the teams he leads and serves.

But this conversation goes deeper than productivity.From building businesses and navigating slow seasons, to marriage, purpose, and even how technology like AI is reshaping our lives, this episode is about alignment, fulfillment, and doing the work you were actually designed to do.

🚀 What you’ll learn in this episode:

-What the Working Genius framework is (and why it’s NOT a personality test)

-The 6 types of work that every successful team needs

-Why most teams struggle with execution (and don’t know why)

-How to identify your natural strengths—and avoid burnout

-The power of “language” in improving communication and leadership

-A real story of how one opportunity changed everything

-How to think about AI, technology, and staying human in your work

If you have ever felt stuck, drained, or misaligned in your work, or if you lead a team and want better results without burnout, this episode will give you a completely new lens on productivity and purpose.

👉 Watch, Listen until the end, and FOLLOW for a powerful reflection on marriage, presence, and a story that might just change how you show up in your own life.
