The pressures and demands of the modern day world are such that many of us find our lives are trained on trying to meet the expectations of others. In the process we become further slowly more disconnected from who we are and what it is that is important to us.

In today's podcast, Bill takes inspiration from Dr Wayne Dyer, who talked about the four stages of life in his work on life purpose.
