Great interviews with people helping make our world better for all. In big ways, in small ways, locally and nationally, something to learn and take with you in every episode.
I stumbled across Purposely a few months ago and found myself binge-listening to this wealth of inspiration. I really appreciate the emotion and energy of each person’s path of discovery. Thank you.
