Episode Details

Are you the type of person who thinks about your life’s purpose all day, every day or someone who goes with the flow? Either way, Erin speaks with Jade Simmons about purpose in a light you’ve never thought of before – and concrete, non-intimidating strategies you can use to discover yours. From what it means to “learn as you go” to how presence shrinks and grows with you, this is a conversation worth listening to on repeat. More about Jade Simmons: Jade Simmons repeatedly defies expectations, delivering riveting experiences combining passion and innovation at every turn. No stranger to pushing boundaries to see bold results, this concert pianist turned world changer is brought in by the likes of the world’s most powerful corporations and institutions to redefine purpose, inspire seismic shifts in mindset, and activate audiences to go out and instantly start living more consequential lives of impact. Jade has built a one-of-a-kind career garnering diverse recognition from unlikely places. She plays renowned halls, including the White House and the US Supreme Court, and her genre-bending concert adventures that span Rachmaninoff to Rap attract diverse audiences of all ages and backgrounds. For her work on and away from the stage, Essence magazine featured Jade alongside former First Lady Michelle Obama as part of their Style & Substance List. As one of the rare classical artists invited to perform at the taste-making South by Southwest Festival, her show was ultimately branded one of the “Best of SXSW 2014.” Her critically acclaimed podcast Decomposed with American Public Media has garnered accolades from BBC America, Esquire, and Time Magazine. She most recently (and most boldly) lived out her directive to become the biggest, boldest, most impactful version of herself possible by running as an Independent Candidate for President of the United States in the 2020 election. ICYMI – Your Post-Episode Homework: As Jade mentioned, interview the people who love you. If you are questioning your purpose and how that relates to your presence here on this earth, start by asking the people who know you the most.   Show Links:
