WES MOORE TALKS "LIVING WITH PURPOSE"

You may be familiar with Wes Moore - the author, entrepreneur, tv producer, political analyst and US Army officer. Many know Wes for his book “The Other Wes Moore” - a New York Times Best Seller - that tells the story of two men, with the same names, but very different lives. His latest book “The Work” explores finding purpose and meaning beyond and within the work we do everyday. While there were many things that inspired me to start Breakin Dad, I do remember being moved by Wes and his conversation here with Oprah. Oprah asks Wes what he sees as “hell” - a reference Wes has made in the past. Wes responds with “Hell is God showing you all the things you could have done if you only tried”. There’s a sting to that statement. How many times have we said “I’ll do that tomorrow”, or “That;s not for me” or “maybe next time” Only to discover that we defer many dreams and opportunities because of this caution and lack of connection to purpose. This podcast is filled with words of encouragement and reality for many of us that can get caught in the day to day grind of life.
