Summary

It’s not an exaggeration to say, Rick Warren has sold more books than any other person on the planet… ever. His book, Purpose Driven Life, is the most published, the most translated, and the most sold book in history, aside from the Bible. It sounds like rainbows and runaway success, but his story is anything but. Rick has walked through significant pain and loss that required levels of determination and grit he didn’t know possible. He has come out the other side and earned the right to be heard. His wisdom on finding, and living, your purpose has changed millions of lives. Yours could be next.

1:13.1	You would do it too if you had your own podcast, but you're not.
