Hello, my friends, Patrick here with a very quick introduction because we've got something a little

different. I just wanted to let you know what it is before you listened. You may have noticed.

We're playing with some new formats. We're playing with some new ideas here on Chasing Excellence.

And that's what we've got for you. Today, we have the first episode of a new series that

we're calling The Purpose Effect. This is a show designed by and

hosted by our friend Jameson Price, who you know by now, if you've been listening for a little

while. Jameson has been a guest on the show before. He has also stepped in for me in our training

focused conversations, the ones he's been having with Ben and Cole that I think

folks really like. I'm really excited. I'm such a big fan of Jameson. I'm really excited to give him

his own series, his own space to explore, to have conversations, to bring to you his own perspective.

So that's what we've got today. The very first episode of the purpose

effect. I'm excited for you to get it. So let's jump right in. Hello, everyone, Jameson,

here out on a daily walk. And anytime we do a purpose effect episode here on the Chasing

Excellence podcast, I'm going to kick it off with a walk and talk

intro, something that just sets the stage for you guys for the conversation you're about to hear.

And today's conversation is with Ryan Rivard. And Ryan and I have only been friends for a few

months, but it's one of those connections and relationships that became immediately impactful

and meaningful for me. In our very first conversation,

Ryan was very vulnerable and authentic and transparent of what he was willing to share with me.

And I was able to be the same. And I came away from that conversation, really encouraged and

challenged. And he does the same today in our conversation that you're about to hear. And I think it will be really, really useful for you guys.

For anybody who finds themselves at a point in life where they would like to make a change,
