What if the root of burnout, loneliness, and disconnection is the feeling that we simply don't matter? Today, we're joined by John R. Miles, award-winning author, former Navy officer, Fortune 50 executive, and host of the Passion Struck podcast, which has reached over 85 million downloads. His latest book, The Mattering Effect: Creating a Life of Meaning and Worth, explores why so many people feel invisible and how we can reclaim our sense of significance.John introduces us to the six foundations of mattering: meaning, autonomy, trust, time, energy, and reciprocity. He also shares his Matter Compass, a framework for understanding how we value ourselves, connect with others, honor our emotions, and create meaningful impact. Through small, intentional choices, we can begin rebuilding what we've lost.We also explore how John's personal experiences with adversity, burnout, and his sister's battle with cancer shaped his mission. His message reminds us that it's never too late to create a life that reflects who we truly want to be.The Biggest Helping: Today’s Most Important TakeawayAgency means consciously choosing the life you want rather than simply managing a life you never intended to create.
