Episode 54: Finding your purpose, saving yourself with James Madison

Your success is killing you. 

Sacrificing yourself for the chase. The money, the awards, the status. Making your parents proud. Making your friends envious. Making yourself sick. 

Because you are getting lost in the process. 

This is what happens when we achieve without a well defined purpose. And it’s at the source of so much pain we see every day. Burnout. Substance abuse. Failed relationships. A toxic legacy we’re modeling for generations to come.

We know we don’t want this. But we can’t always see a way out. James Madison, today’s guest on the DesuckifyWork® podcast is here to help. 

James is an executive coach who helps leaders find balance in their lives, guided by a clear purpose. We just need to figure out three things:

🐱 What energizes us

🐱 What we are uniquely good at 

🐱 What our experience has been screaming at us for years. Those moments when what we love and what we’re good at have come together in a magical brew so intoxicating I’m surprised pharmaceutical companies haven’t tried to bottle it up and sell it for the cost of a small house. 

Once you’re clear on all that, James’ll have you tie it all up in a 3-word bow. His purpose? Ignite purposeful growth. 

Wonder what yours is? Listen to James, he’ll help you get there. 


You can follow James on LinkedIn, check out his site and feel free to email him as well. James is a wise man with an infectious love for life that is a delight to be around. 

I think my site and my Substack newsletter are pretty delightful as well. I’m on a mission to make work suck less and I’d love for you to join me. Want to make that desuckification happen ASAP? Let’s set up a free half hour coaching session

Bye, everyone!

We spend about half our waking lives working. Let’s make that time a bit better, shall we? Let’s destroy the fallacy that business should not be fun. And let’s discover together that laughter, levity and a little lightheartedness are the secret to making work feel less like work and more like living.
