The Purpose Tune Podcast

About this Episode:Purpose isn’t just about personal success—it’s about becoming the kind of person who gives more than they take, lifts others higher, and leaves every community stronger than when you found it. Real purpose multiples when it helps other people discover their own; when you encourage them to prepare for the long road ahead, stay grounded through the hard seasons, and keep their eyes fixed on the vision even when the journey gets heavy. That’s the kind of purpose that doesn’t just inspire in the moment; it creates ripple effects, builds leaders, and changes the future for the better.About the Guest:John Keisler is the CEO of Sunstone, and leads efforts to advance inclusive economic growth through strategic investment, public-private partnerships, and entrepreneurial ecosystem development.

About this Episode: Purpose is to learn, grow and be better, and then share those valuable lessons with others. About the Guest: Luke Krauss was born in the early 1990's as a millennial in a lower-middle class family. He spent most of his childhood doing anything and everything that involved physical activity to burn off his extremely high level of energy often involving competitive soccer and hockey, or his mother asking him to organize the shoe closet or really anything for that matter, because he has interestingly always been particular about organization and cleanliness. He didn't know it at the time but the organization and cleaning along with those sports taught him a lot about communication, teamwork, competitiveness, being a good sport, hard work and dedication. Over the years he has immersed himself heavily into places that have allowed him to find areas for development by working with great leaders and teammates, who help him find that in his current life, consultative selling is the best way to truly provide value and solve problems as you work in parallel with your customers. Luke is an avid gym-goer, loves talking about nutrition, engaging in healthy controversial/debate worthy conversations with the right audience / opponents, and still is willing to try any physical activity that his body will allow.

About this Episode: Purpose doesn’t come to us, we have to go find it. We must be proactive and be open because we may find it in strange places. As human beings, we’re born not to sit still, but to move. Taking action, moving forward, and having momentum are all important components to living an energized life while in search of our purpose. To be on purpose is not just about us, but also the people around us that contribute to a healing and better place. About the Guest: Paul Glover is the No B.S.

About the Episode: Christian “Boo” Boucousis is an established entrepreneur, business owner, and an executive leadership and performance coach. At the age of 19, Boo was recruited into the Royal Australian Air Force as a pilot and completed over 11 years as an elite fighter pilot, one of only 400 trained over a 38 year period. Being in leadership, Boo knows a thing or two about purpose. He believes purpose is about discovering your passion and doing more of that you love to serve others. If you don’t have a purpose, Boo suggests getting involved in as many activities as you can and eventually something will stick. The most important thing is to always move forward and take the necessary steps to achieve clarity. About the Guest: Christian “Boo” Boucousis is an established entrepreneur, business owner and today, an executive leadership and performance coach. At the age of 19, Boo was recruited into the Royal Australian Air Force as a pilot and completed over 11 years as an elite fighter pilot, one of only 400 trained over a 38 year period. Boo also heads up the Australian arm of an organisation called “Afterburner,” a team of men and women who had served as fighter pilots, the custodians of “The Fighter Pilot Way,” also called Flawless Execution. Upon participating in his first Afterburner event, Boo had an epiphany, the skills he learned, developed and applied as a fighter pilot were the fundamental skills that lead to his business. It’s through this journey that Boo developed a passion for human performance. He’s identified what it is about our innate humanness that prevents us from living the life we dream about and the secrets to unlocking the power of the people around us to assist us with achieving our goals.

It is about getting people to recognize their unique talents and abilities, draw out those gifts, and then share them to the world. One way to leverage our gifts is through storytelling.

It gives people an opportunity to open their mind, strengthen their perspectives, and challenge their opinions while at the same time inspire them to be better.
