In this episode of The Jasmine Star Show, there are sensitive topics mentioned related to suicide, mental health struggles, and emotional distress. The content may be triggering for some listeners. If you or someone you know is currently struggling with these feelings, we encourage you to seek support from a mental health professional or call or text the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline by dialing 988 in the United States. Listener discretion is advised and I hope you realize how much that YOU MATTER.

Have you ever wondered what exactly makes a great work culture?

There’s obviously a few factors, but here’s a big one: helping employees find purpose in their roles. When employees feel a sense of purpose at work and in what they do, they are more engaged, motivated, and fulfilled, leading to increased productivity and overall satisfaction.

But how do you do that? 

In this episode, Marcus Murphy (my co-host for the next few weeks) and I interviewed Matthew Emerzian, founder and CEO of Every Monday Matters, a non-profit organization that has impacted millions of lives by providing tools, training, and resources to help everyone (especially leaders) learn how to help others realize how much they matter.

As you listen to this episode, you’ll learn not only HOW to show others they matter, but you’ll also hear Matthew’s powerful story of his mental journey and the self-transformation he experienced by way of serving others. 

[00:04:27] Matthew’s motivation for building his personal brand after years of working behind the scenes for his nonprofit organization.

[00:07:42] The common mistakes of LinkedIn messages.

[00:09:57] Matthew’s journey from working in the music industry to becoming a band manager.

[00:21:34] How self-transformation leads to social transformation and the impact of influential people in bringing a message of purpose and fulfillment.
