Eric Sardina is helping so many people find their true purpose!

I love his style, and the way he finds guests that bring out the best in people. I have learned as much from Eric’s guests as I have from Eric. Thank you for helping me and more return to authenticity!!

The Real Jerry Dugan ,

Truly a return to authenticity!

Eric does a great job of making sure that his guests are comfortable with the interview process, and manages the interview well. I felt like I was having a conversation with a friend, and I can see how that helps his guests (even the most shy) open up and be authentic. I'm speaking as a guest and a listener.

New Favorite!

Being authentic is what it’s all about. These episodes pull you in and paint a full picture of the guests life and how they got back to their hearts purpose. Love listening!
