What is my purpose?

Friends:

New Year’s is the season of reflection, goal setting, and questioning, and perhaps the most profound question of all is “what is my purpose on this earth?”

My Episode 18 guest Will Travis is the perfect person to navigate how to answer this question for yourself. Will spent decades in the advertising business helping some of the world’s biggest brands define their essence (who they are for and what value they deliver), and he ultimately realized his higher calling was to help individuals do the same. This led to the launch of Elevation Barn, a four-day retreat dedicated to helping participants elevate themselves by discovering their authentic self.

Day One of the Elevation Barn experience is all about stepping out of ego, feeling gratitude, and reconnecting to one’s past. If you can recall your most joyous moments, remembering how you felt and what you were doing – you’re on the right track to discovering your purpose. It’s interesting that we first must take stock of the past (and honor it) to move forward into our future. I’d also argue we often need to re-frame the story of our past – from negative or regret filled to positive and gratitude filled – to become our future selves.

Throughout the episode, we explore Elevation Barn's four-day and four-step process to define your individual purpose, where participants articulate personal goals and break down ambitions into manageable steps. This episode also emphasizes the power of authentic connection and collaboration in achieving personal growth and clarity.

I hope you’ll tune in to uncover Will Travis' roadmap to discovering your true purpose on this Earth.

All the best, Jon
