Real conversations – this is what the world needs

I love what Mike is doing here. Not only is he deftly showcasing some of the brightest minds and warmest hearts on the planet, he is doing so in a way that is authentic, organic and emergent. The unedited, single-take format of this podcast is what I crave. I’m so tired of pitch-perfect polished and pithy purpose platitudes oriented towards soundbites catering to a busy and distracted listener. I want to be in amongst a real conversation, what with the hesitations and pauses, and that sense of delightful bafflement that occurs when a conversation ventures beyond the edge of knowledge. And that’s what Mike offers us here with Humans of Purpose. I feel like I am eavesdropping upon two wondrous people in deep conversation at a bar or a café. Mike brings out the best in this format, and is a very generous host. He keeps it lively, and is a consummate conversationalist. If you seek insight into purpose-driven business and work—without it feeling like a fabricated PR stunt—this is the podcast for you. It doesn’t get better than this!
