Whether you're 30 years old or 80 years old or somewhere in between, you wake up every morning with things that you need to do, and more importantly, things that you want to do.

Hopefully, that means that you're still able to do things like climb a flight of stairs with ease, well into your 80s and 90s, and maybe even 100.

In today's podcast, Dr. Dan Ritchie, the president of the Functional Aging Institute, joins me to talk about what functional fitness actually is, the trajectory of aging, and what you need to be mindful of so that you are ready for the amazing opportunities that life still has in store for you.

Do you have a busy life filled with lots of responsibilities, pulling you in multiple directions, and yet you feel like you are just kind of going through the motions and trying to get through the day?  

Maybe you find yourself thinking, “I so need a new job.”  Or asking, “Why am I here?  Is this really it?”

Well, today, we’re going to talk about purpose, and I’ve got Megan Krause here to help me explore this important topic.

The need for purpose is the deepest driver of well being that there is, and it's actually a matter of evolutionary biology for human beings not just to survive and reproduce, but also to grow - physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually and socially.

So if you’re ready to shift from having a filled life to one that’s whole, aligned and meaningful – a fulfilled life - you don't want to miss this episode.
