How to Find Your WHY and Stay Creative as Life Changes. Host Bridget Stuart sits down with author, keynote speaker, podcaster, and communications consultant Randall Kenneth Jones for a deep conversation about connection, curiosity, and how to stay grounded in your purpose as life evolves. Together, they explore how technology has impacted relationships and community, why human connection still matters, and how curiosity can unlock lifelong learning, creativity, and new opportunities. Randall shares powerful insights on the difference between focusing on your WHY versus obsessing over the HOW, and why storytelling is one of the most valuable tools for personal growth, engagement, and leadership. This is for anyone navigating change, reinvention, retirement, a new season of life, or simply feeling called to create more meaning through their story. Episode Highlights Why connection is essential for happiness, fulfillment, and personal growth The impact of technology on relationships and communication How curiosity leads to lifelong learning and new opportunities Why your WHY matters more than your HOW The power of storytelling in leadership, business, and community Returning to your hometown and seeing community change over time How mentorship shapes creativity, confidence, and purpose Staying creative through retirement, reinvention, and life transitions Why engagement and contribution create meaning How to take action and share your story in a way that inspires others Key Takeaways Connection is not optional. It's foundational. Technology can support relationships, but it should never replace human interaction. Curiosity is one of the fastest paths to growth, creativity, and possibility. Your WHY gives you direction when life changes. Everyone has a story, and sharing it creates impact and community. Mentorship can change the course of a life and a career. Creativity is a lifelong practice, not a phase.
