Summary

Everyone on the internet seems to be talking about finding your life's purpose, or finding your why. Your why is supposed to be your moral compass. It keeps you motivated and on track, but today we're going to totally deconstruct that idea. I have a clip from a guest speaker we had in our Dad Edge Alliance, Thom Shea. He’s a retired navy SEAL instructor and author of the book Unbreakable: A Navy SEAL's Way of Life. Tom gives us examples of why finding your life's purpose won't get you very far and what you need to work on instead.
