Welcome to Pursuit with Purpose. I'm your host, Melissa Griffin, and I know firsthand that it's

way too easy to slip into the rat race of competition and comparison. This podcast is all about

meaning and fulfillment and how to bring it to your life today and every day. So let's get into it.

Hey, Pursuit with Purpose family. So although I am an entrepreneur and I do some business

how he built his business with a full-time job and a

family of several kids, and literally how he's been able to build a company around the mentality,

work less, make more. So whether you dream of starting your own business one day or you have
