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.

Hello, beautiful Pursuit with Purpose listeners.

I am very excited right now because this is my first of many solo episodes that I'm going to be doing every single week. So in honor of doing my podcast for one year, if you didn't know, we just

celebrated our one year anniversary, I'm going to start adding in a second shorter episode each

week with just yours truly. So we'll still have our interviews that come out every Monday,

but now on Thursdays, I'm going to start doing an episode that's a little shorter with

just myself. So sometimes these episodes will be a little check-in on my life and my business,

but more often there'll be something where I can share a lesson that I've learned in life

recently or a little debrief on the episode that came out on Monday with the person that I

interviewed, share some of my behind the scenes of what I learned from that episode or things that I

think would be helpful for you in order to become your best self too. So I think these will be

really fun and just a more conversational, kind of coffee chat way for

us to get to know each other better and for us to grow together because I realize that I really

want this podcast and this community in general to feel like a conversation, not a one-sided

guru type of thing where I am interviewing people and you have to listen to us. I really

wanted to feel like we're buds and that you have a peek inside of my life, my thought process, and that I

can hear from you too because I really want this to be a two-sided conversation. So if you didn't

know, actually, I recently created a Facebook community.

It's free and it's for anyone who listens to the Pursuit with Purpose podcast and wants to

dive in deeper into the topics that we talk about, learn more about the other listeners,
