I'm thrilled to share some exciting news. I had the privilege of being part of an extraordinary documentary, 'The Hidden Power of Purpose.' This film takes you on a journey through the lives of four remarkable individuals, each discovering a unique path to a life brimming with meaning. Through career, family, spirituality, and in once case, a senseless tragedy, their stories illustrate the transformative power of purpose on our identity and well-being.

I attended the initial screening and participated in a 20-minute Q&A with the CEO of AARP, who funded this venture. The intensity of the experience was overwhelming, and I found myself on the brink of tears, not once, but twice. It was far more profound than anticipated. You can catch a glimpse of this emotional journey in the trailer here. (I cannot wait to watch this with my 3 daughters.)

And guess what? I now have my own IMDB page, rubbing virtual shoulders with the likes of Christopher Nolan¹. As of Thanksgiving, you can stream the documentary on

Amazon Prime Video.

Google Play

YouTube.

If you're the type who's swayed by the Principle of Authority, you'll be interested to know that the documentary has already bagged seven film festival awards and was recently featured in this Forbes article.

So, why not make a night of it? Grab some popcorn, settle in, and immerse yourself in 'The Hidden Power of Purpose.' I'm excited to hear what you think about it. Let’s make that happen…
