Beginning the Journey to Actually Living On Purpose with David Richman - Episode 272

<p>Episode 272 is about connecting with yourself.</p> <p>When we look at the mirror, what do we see? David Richman found out who he really was—a man who used to be overweight and chain-smoke until his eventual transformation back into himself. He grew up with a mother hating him, despite everything he did to love her. He used this as a motivation to become a better version of himself. When he looked at his reflection in the mirror, one day and asked Who am I?—his entire life changed.</p> <p>He never trained for an IronMan Triathlon, but instead just went ahead and did it. Same with quitting smoking cold turkey. He rode his bicycle nearly 5 thousand miles across the US - all while telling stories about his journey through this best-selling book called Cycle of Lives, which has given hope to thousands of people who were struggling with mental illness and trauma. This is one ‘pedal to the metal’ episode that will inspire you.</p> <p>We all go through cycles in life. Do you feel like you're lost and don't know your whole identity?
