Episode 400: Build Your Purpose: Jim Huling on Legacy, Leadership, and Living Fully


Listen Later

This episode is all about building a life that matters—day by day, action by action. That's exactly what the MyStreaks App was made for. It's not about checking boxes. It's about becoming who you're meant to be through small, consistent commitments.

If you've ever felt the nudge to live more intentionally… to be a more present parent, a more deliberate leader, a more purpose-driven person—this is the tool to help you follow through.

And what Jim shares today will change the way you think about legacy forever.

In this landmark 400th episode of the Streaking Podcast, Jeffery and Jami sit down with their good friend, Jim Huling—global executive coach, bestselling author of The 4 Disciplines of Execution, and founder of Execution Insights™. What unfolds is a masterclass in living with purpose, building a legacy, and evolving with intention.

Jim shares how, even at 70, he continues to deadlift 400 pounds—not to chase achievement, but to fuel vitality in service of his calling. Together, the trio explores the three stages of a leader's life (achievement, scalability, and legacy), the emotional depth of building purpose rather than trying to "find" it, and the sacred power of presence—especially as a parent, mentor, or leader.

They also touch on technology, including the role of AI in leadership, and why authenticity, not algorithms, remains our greatest strength.

This is more than a conversation. It's an invitation to build your life from the inside out—one streak at a time.
