Purpose Highway®

Purpose Highway®

The future has arrived. As the world and humanity itself move faster and faster into unimaginable possibilities, old institutions that built connection, and shaped our sense of meaning, are falling by the wayside. In their wake, fundamental questions about ethics, our purpose, and spirituality demand bold answers. On Scott Mason's Purpose Highway™ podcast, we will explore how these social changes will revolutionize our society. We will learn how they impact our own search for connection and meaning. And we will hear stories of influencers whose lives have had radical change from the inside and found profound connection to others and themselves through unexpected definitions of "meaning." The future has arrived. A new movement for those seeking meaning is taking shape. Join our community today and subscribe to get notified when new episodes go live.
