Ep. 100: Anthony Trucks on Dark Work, Identity Shifts, and Becoming Who Your Calling Requires
What if the reason you feel stuck is not a lack of effort, but an identity that cannot sustain the life you want?In this episode of the Purpose Chasers Podcast, Mark Crandall sits down with longtime friend and mentor Anthony Trucks to unpack the concept of dark work.

It examines why most people quit when things get hard. It breaks down how dark work rewires discipline, confidence, and execution. It also explains why doing the work in silence prepares you to win in the light.If you are in a season of rebuilding, redefining, or reclaiming your purpose, this episode will meet you there.The Purpose Chasers | Align.

Ep. 99: Sal Liberti on Mastery, Breathwork, and Returning Home to Peru
Some callings do not push you forward. They pull you home.In this episode of the Purpose Chasers Podcast, Mark sits down with master breathwork facilitator Sal Liberti to explore the journey that led him back to Peru — not to escape, but to serve.Sal shares how years of global travel, personal development training, and hands-on facilitation shaped his expertise in breathwork and why true mastery is built through presence, repetition, and responsibility rather than digital scale or spiritual trends.This conversation goes deep into what separates real facilitation from surface-level wellness, the power of hyperlocal community work, and why breathwork became the bridge between personal growth and embodied healing.If you are a creator, healer, or leader who feels the tension between expansion and alignment, this episode will challenge how you define success — and invite you to listen more closely to where your work is truly needed.What part of this conversation resonated with you most?Was it the moment Sal chose alignment over scale, or the idea of being called back rather than forward?The Purpose Chasers | Align.

Ep. 76: Brady Watt on how he went from Punk Bands to Bass & Bars & Hip-Hop Legends
Brady Watt joins the Purpose Chasers Podcast to share his remarkable journey from playing bass in New England punk bands at 14 to performing with icons of the music industry. Far from an overnight success, Brady spent years honing his craft and hustling in the New York City music scene. Over the years he has collaborated with legends like DJ Premier and Talib Kweli, and even toured with the rock band O.A.R. – proving that his rise is the result of passion and persistence, not luck.In this episode, Brady unpacks the origin of his viral “Bass & Bars” series – the YouTube sensation where he lays down bass grooves while top MCs drop verses. He reveals how an idea from his team (including DJ Premier and Ian Schwartzman) to promote an album. By calling in favors from a network of rapper friends built over years, Brady created a simple, powerful formula: live bass + elite bars. The result? The first few episodes went viral, and the series has now surpassed 70 installments. Brady explains that when something works, you double-down rather than switch up – one of his key lessons for sustained success.Brady also shares insights into his disciplined daily routine and mindset. He’s played bass literally every day since age 14, exemplifying the dedication behind his talent. He discusses integrating social media into his career while staying sane – from posting music content consistently to deleting the app off his phone to avoid the toxic scrolling habit. This unwavering discipline and focus have helped him prioritize creativity over distractions, ensuring his art always comes first.Most importantly, Brady offers wisdom on building authentic relationships and trusting your craft for the long haul. He credits much of his success to genuine networking and collaboration – leveraging years of friendships to create new opportunities (the “path of least resistance,” as he calls it). He emphasizes sticking to what you do best and continuing to refine it, rather than chasing quick fame or bending to trends. In fact, Brady’s “overnight” success story was over 15 years in the making. From jamming in basements to jamming onstage at Red Rocks with 50,000 fans, his journey highlights the power of perseverance, consistency, and staying true to your vision.

Ep. 69: The Hierarchy of Needs of an Entrepreneur
It's no secret that Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs drives and motivates human behavior. Each stage is the motivating factor behind what you are doing and why you are doing it. When it comes to business, these needs only intensify when it comes to you and your employees. Suppose you want to create a successful business where the success is mutually beneficial for everyone involved. In that case, you must start with the first level of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. After understanding your employee's needs, you also need to recognize and understand your needs as the entrepreneur and owner of the company. Purpose Chasers, if you missed last week's episode where I broke down Abraham Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs and how to fit the company's vision with your employee's driving factors and behaviors, I invite you to go back and listen to part one. Last week, I took a deep dive into recognizing and understanding your employees' needs, specifically how you can help them attain them and how you and your team will reap many benefits, including maximum production, happiness, and self-fulfillment. This week, I'm focusing on you, the entrepreneur. When creating a solid business, four main contributing factors keep any entrepreneur out of the lower levels of the Hierarchy of Needs: Cash Flow, Paying Yourself First, Chain of Command/Leadership, and Systems. While individuals commonly refer to a typical 9-5 job as a rat race, it's easy to fall into the entrepreneurial roller coaster trap. To get off the roller coaster for good, tune in as I help you dial in these four systems to create space for you to do what you do best. The Purpose Chasers | Align. Scale.

Ep. 68: The Hierarchy of Needs of Your Employees
According to Abraham Maslow, all humans operate inside a Hierarchy of Needs. The Hierarchy of Needs includes Physiological Needs, Safety, Love and Belonging, Esteem, and Self-Actualization. These needs are what drive and motivate human behavior. When it comes to business, creating a vision for your employees to align themselves with is the key to recruiting and maintaining employees. This week, I'm sharing a quick overview of the 5 Stages of the Hierarchy of Needs and how to fit the company's vision with your employees' driving factors and behaviors. Once you recognize and understand your employees' needs and how you can help them attain them, you and your team will reap many benefits, including maximum production, happiness, and self-fulfillment.

Ep. 67 : YOU are a Reflection of Your Team
This week, I'm sharing the lessons learned from terminating two individuals who are near and dear to me. Terminating employees who are like friends and family is one of the most challenging decisions I've ever had to make in business. But one of the most valuable takeaways is the importance of asking how YOU can do better. How can you be a better leader and team leader? What areas can you improve on to future-proof the relationships in and out of your company? While entrepreneurs and team leaders don't regularly ask this, it's important to instill it into your team. When you own up to your mistakes and treat others equally, you create a strong accountability structure moving forward that everyone can pick up on. On the flip side, just as owning up to your mistakes is necessary for team success, so is praise and appreciation. Ensuring that you point out the achievements of your team members lets them know that you're investing in their growth and security. Purpose Chasers, be sure to tune in next week as I share how Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs applies to business, specifically how it applies to your employees and team members. Topics Discussed: The Number 1 question to ask yourself when facing adversity in your business Why owning your mistakes makes you a better leader Finding mutual ground and equality with your team Establishing a solid accountability structure Understanding the balance between praise and demand Ready to stop working for your business and have your business start working for you?

Ep. 66: Pay Yourself First
If you’re an entrepreneur, business owner, or industry leader, then you’ve more than likely heard the phrase, “cashflow is king” or “cash is king.” Just because you make millions of dollars a year doesn’t mean you pocket millions of dollars. On paper, it may look like you’ve made tons of money per job, but in practice, you may be losing more money than you even realize. But what if I told you there’s a better strategy? One that can ensure you’re getting paid first while also paying your employees and paying off any surprises along the way. (i.e., renting equipment). This week, I’m sharing the formula that I’ve created within my own companies to ensure each business is in a healthy financial state. One of the biggest pieces of this formula is recognizing that your finances can’t be a guessing game. There has to be an effective mathematical equation put in place to predictably hit your margins every time. Once the needs of the customers are met, and the job is completed, then you can start paying yourself first. But only after accurately calculating every step of the process. Topics Discussed: The TRUTH behind the notion “cashflow is king” Gamifying the financial state of your business Why you should NEVER spend money that you don’t have in your pocket Expenses most business owners never consider until it’s time to pay the bill The Purpose Chasers | Align.

Ep. 64: What Came From Shutting Out the Noise
In 2020, I went inward. In a pursuit to tap into my deer calling, I paused Purpose Chasers®, put my head down, and went all in on doing the inner work. With the growing rise of Covid-19, I removed the pressure and noise from my life, both online and offline, to limit the negative space around me and fulfill what I had been called to do. In a span of fewer than two years, I’ve gained incredible insight, made strong relationships, scaled businesses, and, the best part, my second son was born. This week marks the first solo episode I’ve recorded since July of 2020. Back in 2020, I shared my gratitude with the Purpose Chasers® community and all the lessons I learned along the way. Now, I’m going all in helping individuals grow and scale their companies with no end in sight. By putting the systems in place, growing the right team, and tracking your metrics, it has never been a better time to scale out of your company and take back your most precious asset: time.

What do you want to create in life?If you could pick one thing to do for the rest of your life, what would it be? Who would you like to become?This week, I’m talking with Nat Bruno about two of the biggest lessons I’ve learned from him since the start of my entrepreneurial journey nearly six years ago. Nat has been a trusted guide and mentor along the way, sharing insight, mindset shifts, and resources that shaped how I lead, scale, and live today—and now I want to share them with you.Your dreams of traveling the world with your significant other or sitting front row at your kid’s championship game while your business runs itself aren’t out of reach. The question is—what needs to change for that to happen? What’s actually standing between you and the life you say you want?Topics Discussed:Why your number one business consultant is GoogleUnderstanding that cash flow is king in businessThe greatest misconceptions behind entrepreneurshipHow to analyze your limiting beliefs and let go of fearQuotes from This Episode:Mark Crandall“You don't have anything if you don't have cash flow.”“There's always a way through in business.”“Anything and everything is possible. Six years ago, I never would have thought I'd have multiple multi-million-dollar companies that I'd scale myself out of—and now I help other entrepreneurs do the same.”Nat Bruno“Focus on one thing and say no to everything else. Make ‘no’ your default answer.”“Put all of your energy and all of your focus into one thing starting out.”If this episode hit home, do the organic thing—follow, subscribe, and drop a comment.The Purpose Chasers | Align.

Ep. 59: Stop Showing Up for the Takers
What do your calls currently look like? What does your schedule currently look like? If you were to look over the last month of networking calls, Zoom meetups, and “get to know you” follow-ups, what would they look like to you? Truth is, many individuals are bound to their calendars and taking calls they don’t actually want to be taking. Lesson #14 of what I have learned in entrepreneurship over the years is this: Stop showing up for the “Takers”, your calendar opens us to serve the “Givers”! How many calls and meetups from your calendar actually moved the needle for you and your business? When was the last time you truly connected with someone else over the phone and not because they were trying to sell you something? This lesson has been a tough one to learn and one that I have had to learn time after time. Don’t make the same mistakes I’ve made. Stop penciling every hour of every day to calls that don’t serve you or your business. Unless you truly value the relationships you have already cultivated online, it’s not worth it to show up for the “takers”. Instead, use your time wisely for those who give with our expectations on the other end. Topics Discussed: The importance of implementing healthy boundaries in your calendar Creating the space to evaluate the lessons learned in entrepreneurship Why I’m pursuing the entrepreneurship journey What happens when we lead with our insecurities & overdeliver our value The dangers in showing your poker face in business Learning to give without expectations and selfish motives Gain access to resources and/or work with Mark or his marketing team direct visit: www.markcrandall.net ---Quotes: Mark Crandall The Purpose Chasers | Align.
