Summary
Just a few short weeks ago, on the Retire with Purpose podcast, I spoke to author and Master Career Counselor Richard Leider. If you missed our first conversation, you can check it out here.
In that episode, we talked about the Napkin Test: a powerful tool that Richard created to help people clarify their purpose and find fulfillment in their personal and professional lives.
After our interview, Richard proposed that we have a listener join us for a special live episode. He offered to give one of our listeners the unique opportunity to take the Napkin Test with his guidance, and I couldn't have been more excited.
With that in mind, I'd like to introduce you to our special guest, Yvette Francino. Yvette is one of our subscribers and the founder of Carpe Diem Day, where she blogs about living life to the fullest and inspires others to do the same.
In this special episode, which was recorded Live on Facebook, you'll get to hear Yvette in conversation with Richard as they use his powerful framework in real-time. You'll learn how the Napkin Test works in practice, and the questions you and a partner can ask to discover your gifts, passions, and values, regardless of your age or career.
In this podcast interview, you'll learn:
- The four characteristics of the Good Life.
- Why so many retirees who move to the most beautiful places on earth end up moving back home within a year.
- How Richard defines purpose as we live it each and every day.
- How the Napkin Test can help you reflect, connect, explore, choose, repack, and act as you search for purpose and a way forward.
- How to unpack your life experiences as you create new ones.
