Hey everybody, welcome to How Leaders Lead, where every week you get to listen in while I interview

some of the very best leaders in the world. I break down the key learning so that by the end of the

episode, you'll have something simple that you can apply as you develop into a better leader.

That's what this podcast is all about. Now listen,

we all know in any organization, there's always some kind of chaos. It's just the way the world

works. But leaders don't just face chaos. They're defined by how they handle it. And that's why I

can't wait for you to hear from today's guest, Mori Fonteness.

She's the founder of 822 Group, and you'll hear the inside scoop on how she came to that name

later. But she's helping companies and leaders reconnect with their higher purpose to grow their

businesses. Now, if you're the type who hears that and thinks it sounds a little woo-woo or

airy-fairy or whatever you want to call it, well, just hang on and keep listening. Mori actually

shares a lot of hard evidence that without a higher sense of purpose, all that chaos can lead

to lower productivity and higher turnover and burnout and all kinds of bad stuff.

But leaders and companies who actually dig in and connect with a bigger set of values and

purpose, they have a huge advantage. They're more confident, they're more clear, they're more

satisfied at work. And no matter what kind of chaos or crisis

they face, they're ready to go. So listen in and discover for yourself how you can tame the chaos

with a higher purpose. Here's my conversation with my good friend and soon to be yours,

Morrie Fontnes.

You know, Maury, I want to get to how you got to where you are, but first, tell us what you see as your higher purpose. You know, it's a great question and it's a lifelong journey,

as I say, to all of my coaching clients.

But I really believe that I've been a truth seeker my whole life.
