Made to Matter
🎙️ Welcome to the Made to Matter Podcast with Adam Landrum
You’ve checked every box. Built the career. Raised the family. Collected the titles and toys. From the outside, you’ve made it. But when the meetings end and the house quiets, there’s a question echoing louder than ever: Is this it?

Born without fingers, Jason Burbage could’ve let life’s circumstances define him. Instead, he let purpose do it.
In this powerful conversation, Jason shares his story of growing up different, wrestling with why God made him the way He did, and how that question became the foundation for his life’s mission. Today, he’s the president and equity partner of a purpose-driven franchise company—proof that fulfillment and impact can be built from the inside out.
We talk about the difference between joy and happiness, why culture matters more than cash flow, and what it really looks like to live a life of faith and purpose in the second half.
