How To Find Your Purpose

Joe Hudson and Brett Kistler
About this episode

Purpose is not defined by what we do, but by how we show up to life’s callings—whether in moments of fear, effort, or surrender. In this episode of The Art of Accomplishment, Joe and Brett lead us on a journey to uncover what it means to live with purpose. Not as something to be found, but as something to be recognized. Together, they unpack the myths surrounding purpose, challenging the notion that it is an external destination and reframing it as an inherent part of how we live.

They examine:

  • The search for purpose
  • How purpose emerges in the moment
  • Balancing the fear and challenge of stepping into purpose
  • Discovering purpose as a deeply personal truth
  • How facing discomfort and friction often reveals the path to deeper meaning
