Summary
In the last episode of our self-development summer podcast series, we're talking about living with PURPOSE. This is not just about the things you want to do or accomplish. Living with purpose is also about recognizing and appreciating what you've already done, and making time for just being, rather than always rushing forward to accomplish the Next Big Thing.

| 1:37.0 | Apparently a friend had said one time to Prince, |
| 1:40.0 | come on man, don't you want to make another purple rain album? |
