About this episode

Oglah Gatamah discusses her journey from corporate success to finding personal significance and purpose in life.

In this episode, we sit down with Oglah Gatamah, author of Breathless, for a deeply personal conversation about burnout, purpose, leadership, and what it really means to live a significant life. We explore how easy it is to chase titles, money, metrics, and recognition while quietly losing ourselves in the process. Oglha shares her journey from Kenya to the United States, her rise through corporate leadership, and the moment she realized that outward success had left her inwardly exhausted. We talk about the difference between what we do and the impact we have, how to uncover purpose through reflection and relationships, and why high achievers must be careful not to build the wrong life. We also discuss how purpose can shape families, businesses, and communities, plus the global impact of Oglah’s foundation work in Kenya.
