    Ep. 346 - Jenny Chan

    In this powerful episode of The On Purpose Podcast, Jerrod Hardy sits down with Jenny Chan, co-founder of Pacific Atrocities Education, to uncover a side of World War II history that’s often overlooked—and why it matters today more than ever. What began with discovering her grandmother’s wartime artifacts turned into a mission to document forgotten atrocities in Asia and challenge the narratives we’ve been taught. Jenny shares how history, when incomplete, can shape how we think, lead, and make decisions in the present. This conversation goes beyond history—it’s about truth, awareness, and the responsibility we carry to learn, question, and lead with intention.

    Ep. 343 - Dream Chasers

    In this solo episode of The On Purpose Podcast, host Jerrod Hardy introduces a powerful identity shift: becoming a “Dream Chaser.” More than a phrase, Jerrod explains how this mindset can reignite purpose, build momentum, and reconnect you with the dreams you’ve put on hold. Jerrod shares how life’s responsibilities and routines can quietly push our dreams to the background—and how stepping back into the identity of a dream chaser can break that cycle. Through personal stories and leadership insights, he challenges listeners to move beyond autopilot, embrace discomfort, and take action toward the life they truly want to live. This episode also explores how sharing your dreams builds connection, inspires others, and creates collective momentum, both in your personal life and within teams. Whether you’re leading a family, a business, or yourself, this conversation is a reminder that who you are matters more than what you do—and that your dreams still deserve a shot. Jerrod closes with a simple but powerful challenge: name one dream and share it with someone today—because movement, no matter how small, changes everything.

    Ep. 341 - Julie Farnsworth

    In this episode of The On Purpose Podcast, host Jerrod Hardy sits down with Julie Farnsworth, a social worker with more than 30 years of experience helping individuals and families navigate trauma, healing, and personal growth. Julie shares her powerful journey of finding her voice after years of being a people pleaser and explains how true empowerment often comes through experience, self-awareness, and the courage to set healthy boundaries. Julie dives into the realities of vicarious trauma, a challenge many caregivers and helping professionals face, and why self-care isn’t selfish—it’s essential for those who serve others. She also explores the neuroscience of healing, explaining how the brain can rewire itself through positive self-talk, affirmations, and intentional mindset shifts. Throughout the conversation, Julie highlights the role of gratitude, self-love, and trusting your journey, reminding listeners that you cannot effectively care for others if you neglect your own well-being. This episode is a meaningful reminder that healing begins within—and that when we care for ourselves, we show up stronger for the people who need us most.
