Circle City Success

John Qualls is the CEO & President of Purpose HQ, which was founded on one core principle: that people deserve to be aligned with their purpose and their work.

In this episode, you'll hear John tell us about how a typing class that he took in high school to get closer to girls eventually led to charting the path for his career in the world of tech, how he looks at everything like a 3-year tour of duty and intentionally does a self-assessment every 3 years to determine what he wants to do for the next 3 going forward, and about chasing purpose and experiences rather than money and things.

Wendy Noe is the Executive Director at Dove Recovery House for Women, which is a nonprofit that was founded in 2000 with a mission to "help women with a history of substance abuse or addiction become clean, sober, and self-sufficient primarily through providing safe, affordable housing for their recovery.

In this episode, you'll hear Wendy tell us about how an internship at The Julian Center during her senior year of college led to her passion for helping women and spending her entire career so far in the nonprofit space, about a mentor she had in college who left an impact on her and how when you see her wearing red lipstick today it's an homage to that mentor, and about Dove Recovery House for Women and how the organization provides free services to women with substance abuse disorder.
