The Problem with Purpose

As a coach, husband, father, and leader, I've had to wrestle with the question: "Why am I here? What is my purpose?" Over time, I've realized that this question can be self-centered. It's all about "me." A podcast I once heard reframed this beautifully: Instead of asking, "What is my purpose?" we should ask, "Who am I supposed to serve?"

In my coaching, I help men discover who they are and why they're here, building a strategy for their life and work. It's about recognizing their unique experiences and gifts, and using them to make a difference in their own world. We aren't responsible for the whole world, just our part of it.

When we focus on who we're meant to serve, we align with our true calling. As a coach, I challenge men to become the leaders they were created to be, and I strive to live that out in every aspect of my life. It's about being present, intentional, and genuine.

Knowing who we are and who we're meant to serve helps us build a fulfilling strategy for our lives. It's not just about purpose—it's about service, growth, and impact. When we embrace that, we find true fulfillment.
