RJ's Fort Collins Podcast Ryan Jenkins

I sat down for a discussion with Josh Roloff, the founder of Restoration Now Global.  RNG is a non-profit agency that fixes homes for people in need here in Fort Collins and also abroad in places like the Philippines and Honduras.  There are acute housing needs in both places and RNG does an amazing job of identifying and meeting those needs.

Josh and I talk about his journey from renovating high end Old Town bungalows to installing water filtration systems in the jungles of Honduras and everything in between.

I got to sit down with Zach Mercurio and talk about people discovering their purpose, in other words why do people do what they do? Humans are wired for purpose, but we seem to be able to go through life not knowing or realizing or defining our purpose. Zach points out that if you take the time to realize why you do the work you do, you’ll be happier and more effective. Zach is a speaker, researcher and adjunct professor at Colorado State University. He's the author of the book, "The Invisible Leader: Transform Your Life, Work, and Organization with the Power of Authentic Purpose."  His focus is helping people craft their purpose in work and life.  Just to give you a taste of what we cover today, we talk about how human beings are not sustainably motivated by money. We talk about how you can find purpose working in a carwash. We discuss whether purpose is paralyzing millennial job seekers, and whether people should craft their purpose right where they are, or if they should use their search for purpose to push them to explore a new career. Hope you enjoy!
