Transforming Passion Into Purpose

Josh has some amazing art which is refreshing and uplifting – check it out for yourself at Joshross.co. What was even more insightful and inspiring was my conversation with Josh about following our passions and transforming passion into life’s purpose. It’s much more than the notion of creating a living by following our passions – it’s about having purpose and impact beyond ourselves. Enjoy!
