Welcome, welcome, welcome to another episode of the Mark Rose podcast.

I think it's important to always take a moment to just say thank you to you for listening, for sharing, for all the things, and for caring about your

relationships and your life.

And I think it's imperative that we just take a moment and just wherever you're at,

unless you're driving, don't do this.

If you're driving, don't.

But if you aren't, to just close your eyes and just put your hand on your heart

and just breathe in to your presence, to yourself, just say, I matter, how I feel matters,

what I bring to the world matters, what I need matters.

You know, just that experience of recognition of yourself.

Get into that habit, you know, of just taking a break during the day just for a second

and putting your hand on your heart and taking a deep breath.

And just being with yourself.

I think we all are exploring the question, both consciously and unconsciously.

What does it mean to have a good life?

What does it mean to have a fulfilling life?

Especially as we sort of face what's going on in the world, it's very in our face that life is fleeting.

I couldn't be more excited about today's episode in order to begin to answer some of those questions or continue to answer them. The guest I have today is, I mean, a world-renowned speaker. He's a dad, a husband, a podcast producer. His podcast

is incredible, The Good Life Project. He's an author of a new book called Sparked. Discover your unique imprint for work that makes you come alive.

But work, not just in the context of like what you get paid to do.

And so this question of like, how do I find meaning?

How do I do things that matter?
