John R. Miles, bestselling author, award-winning podcast host, former Fortune 50 executive, Navy veteran, and leading voice on the science of mattering and human significance, joins me on this episode. John is the host of the award-winning Passion Struck podcast, which has surpassed 85 million downloads, and the author of Passion Struck, You Matter, Luma, and his newest book, The Mattering Effect: Creating a Life of Meaning and Worth. 🎙️ What We Discuss: ✅ Disappearing from your own life and how John's childhood traumatic brain injury shaped his sense of self, the ways we can become invisible while still functioning and achieving, and the signals that we may be losing ourselves ✅ The difference between achievement and mattering, why success and accomplishment can't establish our worth, when we begin connecting performance to value, and what happens when we spend our lives trying to prove we're enough ✅ Why mattering is foundational, what it means to feel seen, valued, and significant, the difference between belonging and mattering, how mattering gradually erodes, and the connection between unmattering, burnout, and disengagement ✅ The M.A.T.T.E.R. Framework and M.A.T.T.E.R. Compass, practical tools for understanding where mattering may be missing in our lives and rebuilding meaning, autonomy, trust, time, energy, reciprocity, and a deeper sense of significance ✅ Making other people feel like they matter, how our presence and everyday interactions can make someone feel seen and valued, why significance is less about recognition and more about contribution, and the difference we can make by serving, adding value, and leaving people better than we found them ✅ And much more!
