Purposeful Story Podcast
by Kobi Amponsah
With a strong sense of purpose all of your actions are much more powerful beyond measure. As entrepreneurs the most fulfilling businesses are the ones that lead with purpose. I will be interviewing entrepreneurs every Tuesday as they take us on the purposeful journey. Each episode will end with the Purpose Round whereby a series of the same questions are asked to every entrepreneur to help us understand their purpose. The unique thing about the Purpose Round is that each entrepreneur will have a different answer for the same questions. We welcome you with open arms to the Purposeful Story family and remember...Purpose drives our actions and our actions are a result of our purpose!!!
