ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Nearly 30 years ago, Ron Beshear stood before a room of financial professionals at a Northwestern Mutual regional meeting in Chicago and shared a message about purpose, belief, service, and making your life count. Recently, Ron listened to that 1997 talk for the first time. What struck him wasn't how much had changed. It was how much hadn't. In this special episode from the archives, Ron shares that original message and the ideas he had learned from mentors, friends, family, and years of working with people. He challenges his audience to get clear about their purpose, live for something greater than themselves, believe deeply in the work they do, invest in themselves, and use their lives to make a meaningful difference for others. You'll also hear Ron share the personal mission statement that was already guiding his life nearly 30 years ago, along with a moving story about a close friend that brought the importance of his work into sharp focus. It's a glimpse into an earlier chapter of Ron's life, but the questions are just as relevant today: Why do you get up in the morning? What is your North Star? What lights a fire in your belly? And when your life is over, will you know that it counted? Serving Your Purpose is hosted by Ron Beshear.
