We tackle one of personal growth’s biggest myths: that meaning is something you find.Instead, Bill and Dave present a groundbreaking concept—meaning is something you design.We delve into why high-achievers often feel \"fine but empty,\" why success doesn’t guarantee fulfillment, and how our transactional world traps us in outcomes over experiences. Our conversation uncovers a transformative framework for building a meaningful life through small experiments, curiosity, and intentional action, all without drastic life changes. This conversation will change how you think about purpose, passion, and what it really means to live fully alive. Passion Struck is the #1 alternative health and personal growth podcast dedicated to human flourishing and the science of mattering.
