Podcasts about purposeful living

In “How the Church Moves,” Caleb Cole teaches from 1 Timothy 5 about becoming a healthy church that moves with purity, responsibility, and honor. From caring for people in need and providing for our families to honoring accountable leaders, working hard, staying connected to Christ, and caring for our whole selves, this message challenges us to leave autopilot faith behind and live intentionally through wholehearted surrender to Jesus.

Everyone's chasing the perfect morning routine, the perfect productivity hack, the perfect formula for success. But what if we've been asking the wrong question?In this conversation, Matthew Vincent and I explore why purpose always comes before routine, what it actually means to follow your own inner guidance instead of someone else's blueprint, and why bringing more play, curiosity, and fun into your life might be one of the most powerful things you can do.We dive into identity, discipline, intuition, personal growth, and the courage it takes to trust yourself in a world that's constantly telling you who you should be.If you've been feeling stuck, overthinking your next move, or trying to force your way through life, this episode is a reminder to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and start building a life that feels true from the inside out.Enjoy the conversation.Want to work with me?

I'm so glad you're here. Some days, right action feels distant — buried under distraction, self-doubt, or the pressure to get it "right." If that's where you're at today, this episode is for you. This week, we're moving through a full journey into Karma Yoga — the practice of right action — one small step each day. Today, Day 1, is about intention.

What happens when you spend a decade building a company, achieve a life-changing exit, and suddenly no longer need to work? In this episode, Matt Feret sits down with entrepreneur Andrew Hulbert, who built Pareto FM from a startup into a nine-figure business before retiring at age 37. Andrew shares the realities of extreme ambition, the sacrifices entrepreneurship can demand, and how he navigated the transition from relentless work to a life centered on family, purpose, and presence. Together, they explore identity, success, retirement, financial freedom, relationships, and why true fulfillment often comes from the simplest moments rather than the biggest achievements.

How can we approach aging with more joy, empathy, and meaningful connection?We often talk about lifespan, or how long we live, but Kerry Burnight believes the more important question is how fully we live along the way.Burnight is a gerontologist, former professor of geriatric medicine, and author of Joyspan: The Art and Science of Thriving in Life's Second Half. Drawing from decades of experience working with older adults, she discusses why adopting a “growth aging mindset” can change the way we think about getting older, and why autonomy matters just as much as safety in conversations with aging loved ones. As she puts it, “it's not just the big moments, it's the little moments, too.”In this Quick Thinks episode of Think Fast Talk Smart, Burnight and host Matt Abrahams explore the role of listening, storytelling, and empathy in effective communication across generations. Through memorable examples and actionable advice, Burnight offers a compassionate framework for talking about — and thinking about — aging differently.Episode Reference Links:Dr. Kerry BurnightKerry's Book: JoyspanEp.176 From Stereotypes to Synergy: Communicating Across Generations Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (02:53) - Aging Mindsets (05:21) - Give of the Day (08:49) - Difficult Aging Conversations (19:21) - Explaining Complex Ideas (20:50) - Conclusion  ********Thank you to our sponsors.  These partnerships support the ongoing production of the podcast, allowing us to bring it to you at no cost.This episode is brought to you by Babbel.

A full life isn't about the quantity of time, but the quality.Our lifespan might describe how long we live, but it doesn't say anything about how well we live. For that, Kerry Burnight says, we need a different measure: joyspan.Burnight is a gerontologist, former professor of geriatric medicine, and author of Joyspan: The Art and Science of Thriving in Life's Second Half. In her decades working with older adults, she noticed a gap: “I would have a lot of people who lived long lives and were in pretty darn good physical health. They were miserable.” That observation led her to dig into the research on well-being — and to find what it takes to enjoy a long life, not just endure one.In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Burnight joins host Matt Abrahams to explore her joyspan framework, explaining how growth, connection, adapting, and giving contribute to a full life. From changing the conversation around aging to communicating more effectively across generations, Burnight offers practical wisdom for living better at any age.Episode Reference Links:Dr. Kerry BurnightKerry's Book: JoyspanEp.176 From Stereotypes to Synergy: Communicating Across Generations Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (03:21) - Defining Joyspan (05:28) - The Joyspan Matrix (11:04) - Learning to Adjust (11:58) - The Power of Stories (15:39) - Internalized Ageism (18:41) - The Final Three Questions (26:00) - Conclusion ********Thank you to our sponsors.  These partnerships support the ongoing production of the podcast, allowing us to bring it to you at no cost.Strawberry.me.

summaryIn this enlightening conversation, Dr. Jeannie Comeau shares her journey from corporate leadership to holistic life coaching, emphasizing the importance of purpose over profit in business. She discusses the shift from fear-based management to a more compassionate and purpose-driven leadership style, highlighting the role of metaphysics in understanding individual strengths and fostering team dynamics. Dr. Comeau envisions a future where businesses prioritize the betterment of humanity, driven by the younger generations' values and cosmic energies. takeaways Leadership should not be fear-based but purpose-driven. Success is not solely earned through education. Fear drives executive decisions more than vision. Operating from scarcity leads to a loss of human potential. Managers play a crucial role in implementing a leader's vision. Understanding individual strengths enhances team productivity. Metaphysics can inform leadership and personal growth. Adding value to others is a core motivation for leaders. The future of business will focus on purpose over profit. Younger generations are driving a new business paradigm.

Kathleen Conner is the woman everyone calls when they need something—ranch hand, stucco guy, chief bottle washer—you name it. Known as the unofficial “mayor” and “Angie's List of People,” she built a life of service as a business owner, wife, mother, volunteer and humanitarian. At 53, she realized she had built a perfect life serving everyone else while becoming nothing to herself. This awakening launched her transformation from depletion to authenticity.Kathleen spent 16 years building the “perfect life” that was perfectly wrong for her. At 53, she hit rock bottom, losing herself to roles like The Good Employee, The Perfect Mother and The People Pleaser. That awakening led to her transformation: losing 47 pounds, getting sober, and reclaiming her identity. Today, Kathleen helps women stop performing their lives and start living them. With a mix of candor, humor, and empathy, she shares raw stories of being successful yet miserable, helpful yet depleted, and needed yet lost, while offering women a way to align head, heart and soul so they can finally live lives that feel as good as they look.Guided by her father's wisdom about givers and takers, Kathleen now teaches women how to give with intention and receive without guilt. Her mission is to help women break free from the boxes they didn't even know they were in—and build lives that feel as good as they look.In this episode, we discuss life transitions and wake-up calls, finding yourself under all the roles you play and more.
