Welcome back to the Ten Thousand Heroes Show. I'm Ankur Shah Delight and this is a podcast about purpose. My purpose, your purpose, our guests' purpose. We're all somewhere along the journey of purpose. Some of us are farther along in terms of knowing our purpose or living it. Some of us are more aware of it than others. But purpose, I contend, is fundamentally unescapable.    What I'd like to do...
