S02E10: On Purpose - Season Wrap with a bonus 'find your purpose' framework

About this episode

Ankita and Nalini reflect on key insights from the season's guests and introduce a new framework for finding purpose.

Send us Fan Mail Join Ankita and Nalini as they reflect on the key insights and lessons learned from this season's prickly guests. From a lawyer pivoting to a new career in the Indian armed forces, to a successful HR leader taking a well-being sabbatical, and an engineer who knew from day one that being an employee wasn't for her - these guests have all made purposeful changes in their lives. They also explore a common thread that connected many of the guests - the profound impact of a single book, mentioned by over 50% of the interviewees, that helped shape their paths. What more, one or both of them might have changed their minds on purpose, from when they began this journey.... As a bonus, Nalini shares her "controversially named" SEC framework - a framework she finds more applicable to daily life than the Golden Circle she started with. You will also hear glimpses of what the next season is about 😉 Share your thoughts in the comments on YouTube and Instagram. Did this season change your perspective?
