The Ten Thousand (10,000) Heroes Show

Education EN ↓ 154 episodes

10,000 Heroes is a show about Purpose. We interview people we admire about their journey with Purpose. Which is a journey we're all on – whether we like it, or acknowledge it, or not. And then we share their insights, tools, and struggles with you.10,000 Heroes (10kh) provides inspiration, intimacy, and maybe even a little bit of guidance, as to what it means to live a truly purposeful life, and how we each can get there in our own unique way. In my mind, it's not just a podcast, it's a hero generation machine. Because a World on Fire needs People with Purpose.
