“It’s impossible to sustain high-performance personally or in an organization without purpose”

Today, people and organizations everywhere are struggling. Maybe you’ve lost sight of the fuel that motivates, inspires, and pushes you forward— or maybe you never found it. That fuel is purpose and the feeling of leading with purpose is more thrilling than you can imagine.
Maybe your lack of purpose is manifesting in terms of traditional achievement — you’ve fallen behind in sales, your culture is a mess, or your growth has stalled out. Maybe you just can’t seem to turn your vision and goals into momentum and purpose. You know the What, but you just can’t seem to find the Why.
Or maybe you’re excelling, but success has let complacency creep into your work or your organization. So you start playing defense — reactive, on your heels, the market dictating terms — and once you start playing defense, it’s difficult to stop.
Meet our guest today, Paul Epstein. Paul became the go-to fixer for NBA teams, NFL franchises, and league executive offices because he’s mastered the come-from-behind win. He recognizes that victory comes from the inside, and requires an All-In culture empowered by a growth mindset and a belief that we all have unlimited potential – when we double down on our strengths, gifts, talents, and passions.
Paul’s background in cultural transformation and helping organizations find their Why can help you discover and amplify the power of purpose within your company, culture, and personal game plan.
On today’s show, we dive into how he took The Los Angeles Clippers from the bottom of the league in revenue to number 2 in just one season, a strategy to uncover your purpose, and why a key to organizational performance is helping your people uncover their own personal why.
