Why I love purpose:


​I love helping leaders and teams find their higher purpose, because I know the pain of living without purpose AND the results of developing a connection to purpose - leadership, belonging, fulfillment and genuine prosperity.

I spent 25 years living someone else's life, graduating from an Ivy League graduate program, starting my career in investment banking, venture capital and start-ups.  On the outside, I was successful.  I had what most people wanted: a sexy career, fun social life and a cool car, but on the inside, my soul was starving.  None of it meant anything to me.  I knew there was more to life.

In my early 30's I was fortunate to work with a Purpose GuideTM.  Through this work, I discovered that my purpose is to awaken purpose-driven leadership and create a political economy and culture that works for all of us on Earth.  I do this through my keynotes, programs, books and guiding leaders and teams.

I  have had the privilege to guide thousands of people from over 50 countries on their journey, including  entrepreneurs, educators, CEOs, doctors, Catholic Priests, Dalai Lama Fellows and world-class athletes and artists.

Purpose is the Fourth Wave of Capitalism
By Brandon Peele, Conscious Company Magazine (READ)

Wave #1 Entrepreneurship (1776 CE)
The first wave was the free enterprise revolution, launched by Adam Smith's book, Wealth of Nations.  This wave ignited entrepreneurial capital throughout the world, radically empowering local business and distributing wealth and power more equitably than feudalism.

Wave #2 Dignity (1842 CE)
The second wave recognized that economic growth must not come at the price of human dignity, making organized labor legal in the landmark ruling of Commonwealth vs. Hunt.  The Labor / Socialist movement created new structures that both created more dignified, safer, more abundant lives for workers, AND created consumer demand for more products and services that radically improved the human condition, e.g. washing machines, vaccines, etc.

Wave #3 Sustainability (1962 CE)
The third wave recognized that economic growth must acknowledge the constraints of nature.  Rachel Carson's book, Silent Spring, illuminated the ecological costs of unconstrained capitalism.

Wave #4 Purpose (1994 CE)
The fourth wave was the recognition that business is also a vehicle for self-expression.  Jim Collins' book, Good to Great, illuminated that humans are not interchangeable parts, that each has a purpose and that businesses will outperform their peers when they create a culture of purpose.
