I’m Andi the host of the Friendly Podcast Guide. For the past year I’ve been introducing moms to different podcasts so that they can figure out which one is a good fit for them. I’ve loved talking to podcasts hosts about their shows and bringing those conversations to my listeners, but I’ve missed being able to share my own thoughts and podcast lists with all of you, which is why I decided to start making a second episode every week. I’m still trying to figure out what to call these episodes, so if you have any ideas, please DM me or send me an email. I’m flirting with the name Andi’s Corner or maybe Andi’s Musings, but I’m still very open to ideas.

I believe that we were all put on this earth for a purpose, but figuring out what that purpose is can be super difficult. I’ve learned this first hand this year as I’ve been trying to figure out how to follow both my dreams of being a mom and of making a podcast. This week I am talking about the podcast Deep Purpose, which has helped me realize that my potential can be unlocked when I have a clear purpose. Harvard Business School Professor Ranjay Gulati is the host and he interviews top global CEOs about their personal journeys to find purpose and how it has helped them in the business world.
