Why Paul Robeson should be remembered for more than being the voice of Ol' Man River and why you should not confuse Passion and Purpose

Today's episode is dedicated to the great Paul Robeson, who followed his purpose in life, paid the price, and found himself airbrushed from history.

Paul Robeson's story demonstrates that following one's purpose does not always lead to happiness, good health and wealth, despite what the self-help books would have you believe. 

Using Paul Robeson's story, Neil and Pete discuss the confusion that many feel when talking about passion and purpose. They also consider the idea that purpose is not always a choice, but sometimes, for good or ill, your purpose finds you.
