Passion Struck with John R. Miles

4 Inspiring Ways to Bridge the Gap Between Theory and Action | EP 543


Listen Later

In this solo episode of Passion Struck, host John R. Miles reflects on the challenge we all face: turning inspiration into action. Whether it’s a powerful idea from a book, TED Talk, or podcast, too often, the spark of motivation fizzles out before it leads to meaningful change. Drawing from recent conversations with Codie Sanchez and Kim Scott, John explores actionable ways to overcome this gap and make intentional progress in your life.

Codie and Kim provide frameworks to move beyond theory. Codie breaks wealth-building into clear steps by focusing on cash-flowing businesses, while Kim provides practical tools for giving feedback, building trust, and leading with purpose. Combining their lessons with insights from behavioral science and his own personal experiences, John shares four transformative strategies to help you bridge the gap between knowing and doing.

If you’ve ever struggled to act on a big idea or felt stuck in the “theory phase,” this episode will inspire you to take the first step—no matter how small—and start building momentum toward your goals.
