The Purpose Project
The Purpose Project is a podcast where we dive into life’s big questions in a laid-back, down-to-earth way. Why do we do what we do? How do we make things happen? And what’s next? Join me, Ricky Gibbins, as I share my own stories and chat with awesome guests about their journeys—past, present, and future. It’s all about figuring out what drives us and what’s possible. Tune in for real conversations and a whole lot of inspiration!

After a few months away from the microphone, I’m back with a solo episode of The Purpose Project.
Following the completion of the 100km ultra marathon for Diabetes UK, I made the decision to take a step back from recording. I knew I had a lot coming up with Urban Reform and didn’t want to rush interviews or release episodes that didn’t hold meaning or purpose. Instead, I wanted to take the time to reflect, reset, and make sure that when I did return, I was doing so with clarity and intention.
In this episode, I talk through the reasons behind that break. I also share some of the challenges I’ve faced trying to line up interviews, dates, and locations for future guests, and why sometimes stepping back is exactly what’s needed to move forward.
I also discuss:
- The experience from the 100km ultra challenge with Louis, Dan, and Adam
- The importance of revisiting your vision and mission, and how I’ve been redefining both in my own life
- How you can start to create your own vision and mission to bring more clarity and direction into your life
- Updates on Urban Reform, including progress within the team, the upcoming UR Games, and the UR Fitness Retreat
- The growth we’ve experienced recently, both personally and professionally
I recorded this episode with a cold, and I originally wanted to do it in Spain with a beautiful backdrop feeling fresh and full of energy. But I didn’t feel up to it at the time. Instead, I decided to record it here in Manchester, in a far less glamorous setting, because now felt like the right time to sit down and talk.
This episode is about slowing down, refocusing, and reconnecting with what truly matters. If you’ve ever felt the need to pause, realign, or rediscover your purpose, this one’s for you.
