He went from being arrested as a teenager to being an inspirational speaker, gratitude seeker and an overall great guy.

Managing Our Energy - Josefine Campbell (ep. 848)

Chapter

In this episode, we have a captivating conversation with Jade Simmons, a transformative experience creator, keynote speaker, and author of "Purpose the Remix."

Jade emphasizes that purpose goes beyond our jobs or titles and is about making the best of ourselves, embracing who we were created to be, and serving others. 

She believes that purpose and gratitude are deeply interconnected and that purpose is a renewable energy that brings fulfillment and prevents burnout. 

We discuss how self-criticism can hinder gratitude and purpose and the power of remixing our purpose, breaking free from societal labels, and embracing our uniqueness. Jade encourages listeners to uncover their own purpose and express it authentically.
