Feel like you’re meant for something more but can’t put
your finger on what that “more” is? This episode is here
to help. The bad news is: finding your purpose in a world
full of distractions and expectations is hard. Like, super hard.
The good news is: we’ve been struggling with this since the dawn
of humanity, so lots of extremely smart people have piped up
about it.

Clues to your purpose are hiding in unexpected places. Today,
we’ll explore 8 of those clues, as proposed by some of humanity’s
greatest minds. Consider this episode a field guide out of
your existential crisis. Brought to you by me: your friendly
neighborhood lawyer-turned-creative, fresh out of the trenches of
living someone else’s life.
