    Ep. 336 - Alfredo Borodowski

    In this episode of The On Purpose Podcast, host Jerrod Hardy sits down with Alfredo Borodowski, a leadership thinker and expert in positive psychology, to explore what it takes to lead well in times of uncertainty and rapid change. Alfredo shares powerful insights on resilience in leadership, personal transformation, and why human-centered leadership matters more than ever—especially as artificial intelligence reshapes the modern workplace. Rather than viewing AI as a replacement for people, the conversation reframes leadership as the responsibility to nurture strengths, character, and connection. Together, Jerrod and Alfredo discuss the role of character strengths, the impact of gratitude on motivation and performance, and why investing in people—not just solving problems—is the key to long-term organizational success. This episode is a thoughtful reminder that empathy, purpose, and human connection remain irreplaceable in leadership. Whether you’re a leader, manager, or someone navigating change in your career, this conversation will challenge you to lead with intention, adaptability, and care for the people you serve.

    Ep. 335 - What Now

    In this solo episode of The On Purpose Podcast, host Jerrod Hardy reflects on busyness, presence, and the power of asking one simple grounding question: “What now?” As the year moves forward and momentum builds, Jerrod challenges listeners to examine whether being busy is truly moving the needle—or simply keeping us distracted.Drawing from personal experience, research on busyness culture, and lessons learned from seasons of over-optimization, Jerrod explores how constant productivity can lead to burnout, missed moments, and disconnection from what matters most. He introduces “What now?” as a practical reset—one that brings us back to the present moment, strengthens relationships, and helps us slow down without losing purpose.This episode is an invitation to reflect on where you may be busy out of habit, where you can choose presence with intention, and how small moments of awareness can create meaningful change in your life, work, and relationships.Thank you to our sponsors The Hideaway Fl and Veritas Athletic Performance.Connect with The On Purpose PodcastWant more from The On Purpose Podcast?Join us on Patreon!Listen to full episodes on TheOnPurposePodcast.com or anywhere you stream your favorite shows.Follow along on Instagram and Facebook for behind-the-scenes clips, guest highlights, and daily motivation.Connect with Jerrod HardyLinkedIn |  InstagramDiscover Jerrod’s insights on leadership, mindset, and purpose—and learn how to apply them in your own journey.Get the Book: Extraordinary People In Ordinary Places— Jerrod’s guide to living and leading with purpose.
