"There's a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in." A line from Leonard Cohen's 1992 song Anthem that feels especially true when purpose starts to feel unclear.

So many people hit a point where the clarity they once had around their purpose begins to crack. What felt certain starts to crumble, and it's easy to think you've somehow lost your way or that something's gone wrong with you.

But here's what takes courage to see: those cracks aren't signs of failure. They're often where purpose gets to re-form itself—not through figuring it all out alone in your head, but through honest conversation, real reflection, and the brave souls willing to walk the uncertain path alongside you.

In this Live Brave podcast episode, I sit down with Richard Leider—whose bestselling book The Power of Purpose, now in its 4th Edition - to explore why disillusionment might actually be an invitation. Not to give up on purpose, but to let it evolve into something truer and more alive.
