In this powerful episode, Gary sits with Speaker, Author, and Founder of the Pajama Program, Genevieve Piturro for a deep dive into the concept of purpose—its intimidating nature for many and the tremendous potential it holds when embraced. Opening with the nuances of teaching purpose, they unfold the conversation to reveal how fear often masquerades as confusion, deterring individuals from pursuing their true calling.
