Finding Purpose, Faith, Identity, and Joy Through Life’s Journey

What happens when joy meets purpose… and purpose becomes a lifelong search for meaning? In this deeply moving and energizing conversation, Barry Shore sits down with filmmaker, writer, and spiritual seeker Sal Litvak for a conversation about identity, faith, creativity, resilience, and the invisible threads that shape who we become. Sal shares the remarkable story behind his unique family history—from Chilean roots and Holocaust survival to growing up between cultures while searching for something deeper than success. Together, Barry and Sal explore what it means to live with intention, how moments of transcendence can quietly change the course of a life, and why the search for purpose often begins long before we realize it. From rowing on the Charles River at Harvard… to practicing law in New York… to walking away from certainty to pursue filmmaking at UCLA, Sal reflects on the twists, risks, and awakenings that led him toward his true calling. This episode is about more than career reinvention—it’s about listening for the spark within, trusting the journey, and recognizing that transformation often begins in silence.
