Know Yourself & Know Your Purpose (ft. M...

PodcastOne
About this episode
Everyone says, “be authentic” if you want success. But what really is authenticity? Before you can be authentic, you have to know yourself and your purpose.

There is no one better to break down the concept of knowing yourself and your purpose than serial social entrepreneur and best-selling author Miki Agrawal. Miki shares that being yourself isn’t being an echo chamber — it’s about diversifying your experiences and perspectives and being comfortable with arguing your case. Until you’ve experienced and understood a wide range of perspectives from different people, you can’t really know who you are, what your strong beliefs are (and why) and be confident enough to back it up. 


Join as Shawn D. Nelson and Miki Agrawal talk about:

  • Why building diversity into your experience is more about creating a mosaic than a melting pot (and why this mindset is far more valuable)
  • Learning your deepest truths and building enough confidence to share them
  • How to determine (or create) your purpose in life and business
  • Self-awareness, personal growth and long-term sustainability
