Summary

Discovering a sense of purpose in life can feel frustrating and ambiguous at times, and with the mountain of books and guides out there, it's also easy to dismiss the simple act of letting purpose find you, so to speak. Tim Corcoran specializes in helping people cut through the complexity and return to nature, so I sat down with him to dig into the nature and definition of purpose, the point of things like vision quests, and how nature speaks to us.  Tim Corcoran is the founder of Purpose Mountain, where he serves as a certified Nature-Based Purpose Guide to support people who hear the call from wild nature to discover their purpose, those with a burning desire to live their vision and a willingness to work with resistance and fears through the Ecology of Self and Voice Dialogue. Tim also serves as co-Director of Twin Eagles Wilderness School, an organization he co-founded with his wife, Jeannine Tidwell, in Sandpoint, Idaho in 2005 dedicated to facilitating deep nature connection mentoring, cultural restoration, and inner tracking.  Tim is a leader of men’s groups and holistic rites of passage for males, guiding and initiating men and boys into the new paradigm of the mature masculine. Since 1999, Tim has dedicated his life towards consciously furthering this vision of living in balance with the Earth, community, family, self, spirit, and soul. Healing the cultural rift between the mainstream and indigenous cultures, transformational consciousness work, the spiritual journey, ancestral work, deep nature connection, family and holistic health are all deep commitments in his life. Tim is a heart-centered father of two brilliant boys and husband to a magnificent wife and lives in pristine Sandpoint, Idaho.

All right, team, welcome back to the Man Talk Show. We are going to dive into some wonderful topics that I've been wanting to dig into, and we're going to do that with a gentleman

named Tim Cochran. Tim is a founder of Purpose Mountain, where he serves as a certified

nature-based purpose guide to support people who hear the call from wild nature to discover

their purpose, those with a burning desire to live their vision

and a willingness to work with resistance and fears through the ecology of self and voice

co-founded with his wife, Janine Tidewell,

0:55.4

in Sandpoint, Idaho in 2005, dedicated to facilitating deep nature connection, mentoring,

1:02.5

cultural restoration, and inner tracking. So he's done a tremendous amount of work around

1:09.5

vision quests. And that's something that Tim and I are going to

1:13.1

talk about towards the end of this podcast. We really start off by talking about purpose. What is it?

1:18.7

How do you find it? What are some of the breadcrumbs that life leaves for us that we can begin to

1:25.8

follow because as we talk about on the show, purpose is a very

1:29.1

sort of vague term that gets used a lot in our culture today that is sort of ambiguous for a lot of

1:35.9

people. And it can be frustrating to not feel like you have a sense of purpose. I'm going to be

1:41.6

talking about purpose quite a bit more in the coming months. It's something that I get asked about a lot. It's something that I've done a lot of work on and

1:49.2

studied on. And interestingly enough, fun fact, I think I mentioned this in the show, but there's like

1:54.3

over a quarter of a million books all related to this notion of purpose.

2:01.4

And so clearly people are wanting to find a purpose.

2:04.3

Maybe you are wanting to find a deeper sense of purpose.

2:07.2

Hopefully this podcast brings some ideas, some concepts, and like I said, some breadcrumbs

2:13.5

that can help point you and steer you towards a deeper calling, a deeper sense of purpose in your
