Life. On Purpose
Brandi Eilert is the creator and host of Life. On Purpose — a podcast dedicated to the stories that awaken us, shape us, and remind us why we’re here. With a gift for deep listening and genuine connection, Brandi guides conversations that explore resilience, faith, healing, and the pursuit of meaning in a world that often values achievement over authenticity.
A lifelong seeker and storyteller, Brandi’s own path has been one of transformation — moving through challenge, loss, and reinvention to find a deeper sense of purpose. Through her interviews with athletes, advocates, thinkers, and everyday visionaries, she creates space for the kind of truth that heals and inspires.
Grounded, empathetic, and unafraid to ask the big questions, Brandi’s mission is simple: to help others live more consciously, love more deeply, and align their lives with what truly matters.
When she’s not behind the mic, you’ll find her immersed in family life, college basketball games supporting her husband, creative projects, or somewhere quiet (usually home - her sanctuary) — reflecting, reading, writing, and practicing what she preaches: living on purpose.
Life. On Purpose
Dr. Andrew Pope, M.D. on Stem Cell Therapy and Changing the Way Health Care is Delivered
Dr. Andrew Pope is a native of Kansas and attended the University of Kansas for his undergraduate training, where he graduated with honors with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration and Bachelor of Arts in Biology. Dr. Pope was then able to fulfill his passion for medicine by obtaining his Medical Doctorate from the University of Kansas School of Medicine.
Raised in a small town, Dr. Pope stayed true to his roots and pursued a Residency in Primary Care at Via Christi Family Medicine through the University of Kansas. He was trained to provide comprehensive care, which included Obstetrics with Caesarean Section, Colonoscopy, EGD, Inpatient care, and Outpatient care.
Upon completion of his Residency, he joined nine other physicians in a busy private practice in Manhattan, Kansas, where he provided a wide spectrum of care to all ages. Since then, Dr. Pope has opened his own direct primary concierge practice, BlueFire Med.
In addition to Direct Primary Care, Dr. Pope also has a passion for using regenerative cell therapy to help patients. In 2014, Dr Pope and Kansas Regenerative Medicine began treating patients using the patient’s own Adult Stem Cells. They also use PRP, which is Platelet Rich Plasma, which uses a patients cells to reduce inflammation and improve healing.
In his free time, Dr. Pope enjoys providing care at the local free health clinic, as well as various outdoor hobbies including golf, basketball, and the upkeep on his ranch. He also dedicates a majority of his time outside of work to his wife and young children.
