In this episode Kevin and I discuss:                                              Why restlessness is a gift How to unlock meaning and engagement in the workplace A psychological trick to tap into innovation The secret to accelerating both change and impact                                         Takeaways from this episode: You don’t have to have to choose between purpose-driven work and a paycheck. It’s possible to have both. When you can change the narrative to be about what is possible, and the upside of it, what we can create, that sparks problem-solving. It sparks innovation. It sparks passion to actually march forward in a direction of positive change. Making a profit is not enough anymore. As a company, you need to have a mission. If you don’t have a mission, you’re not going to be able to sustain your company in the long run.
