There’s a difference between living a life that ignites your passion and simply existing. You get to choose which one you want. Our guest today, John R. Miles, is here to teach us the proven tactics to living an intentional life that matters.
John is a leading authority on intentional behavior change, personal growth and mattering. He’s a celebrated leader, speaker, entrepreneur, award-winning podcaster, and author of a new book called “Passion Struck: Twelve Powerful Principles To Unlock Your Purpose And Ignite Your Most Intentional Life.”

| 0:00.0 | Hey everyone and welcome back to the one thing podcast. We are here with |
| 0:08.8 | John Miles who is a leading authority on intentional behavior change, personal growth, and mattering. |
| 0:16.0 | John, you are truly a beacon of inspiration and transformation, a very celebrated leader, |
| 0:22.1 | speaker, entrepreneur, you've got an award-winning |
| 0:24.8 | podcast but here today to talk with us about your new book called Passion Struck. |
| 0:30.1 | Thank you so much for being here. We're so excited to have you. |
| 0:32.1 | Well Nick and Chris, I am so thrilled to be here and it's such an honor to be on this amazing |
| 0:37.7 | podcast you both have. |
| 0:39.4 | John, I'm excited to unpack this a bit because I think the book really centers around this idea of living intentionally and I think sometimes this can feel like a weird conversation for people. I know we've certainly had the conversation |
| 0:53.2 | where we'll talk about living with intention. |

| 1:26.2 | I think it's the wrong analogy to how so many of us are living our lives because when you are on autopilot |
| 1:32.0 | yes she might be going through the regular motions of life, |
| 1:36.0 | but you're typically putting your life in a positive direction when the pilot puts the plan on autopilot, |
| 1:42.0 | it's generally still going towards the direction that we want. |
| 1:46.4 | However, I believe too many of us are living our lives as if we're a pinball, just like the game of pinball, and we keep bouncing off of things because we get absorbed in all the things around us, whether it's our digital addictions, whether it's people telling us how to live, so we start |
| 2:08.2 | conforming to societal expectations, and really it's a life not living authentically to who we are. |
| 2:15.0 | So to me that's the primary example of what it means to live |
