PASSION PURPOSE AND POSSIBILITIES

Candice Snyder

When I was a child I loved to pretend. I would imagine myself as a teacher, a pediatrician, a flight attendant. All careers where I was helping people. I didn’t know it then, but those were leadership roles as well. Twenty plus years ago, I was injured in a work-related accident, that has left me with a severe permanent disability. It forced me to search inside myself and find what other passions, purpose and possibilities I could pursue. It was when I started my direct sales business, and later became one of the company’s gratitude ambassadors, I realized that I am a giver, a humanitarian, a cheer-leader, and have a deep desire to inspire others. I had no idea it was possible to make a bigger impact, until, well- I started this podcast! I figured out how to focus my business not only on helping others earn an income, but to foster a community of gratitude, giving back and to inspire others as well. Join me and my expert guests here, where you will learn to live with passion, reclaim your purpose and explore the wonder of possibilities. I am your host, Candice Snyder and this is Passion, Purpose and Possibilities podcast.

RJ is also the author of God Doesn’t Waste a Thing (written under the pen name Luke Chance), an awe-inspiring memoir of the miracles he witnessed behind bars.
