Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
At the start of Season Two, Josh and Jenna talk about why purpose matters more than motivation. They share personal stories from law enforcement, business, and life that show how the same workload can feel exhausting or energizing depending on the “why” behind it. This episode explores how purpose reduces burnout, why it requires reflection and action, how it evolves over time, and why aligning your work and life with your core values can change everything. Whether you love what you do or feel stuck in a grind, this conversation offers a practical way to find meaning and keep going.
