Inspiration Booster Shot: Motives

06/24/24 • 8 min

This mini episode offers a booster shot of inspiration with two short stories about motives. The first story is a re-telling of Arthur Gordon's 'The Turn of the Tide' where he follows a doctor's unorthodox instructions to re-examine his motives. The second short story shares the perspective of a retired nurse near the end of her life. From her literal deathbed in hospice care, she reflects on life's meaning as she answers the question: "What matters?"

The Bud Light Boycott

The boycott of Bud Light was intended to punish Anheuser-Busch for its support of the transgender community AND to discourage other companies from using their marketing budgets to convey transgender acceptance. This episode of Meaningful Impact is the first of a two-part series which is both a cautionary tale and a much-needed reminder that it’s still possible for purpose-driven companies to make a meaningful impact for marginalized people even in today’s supposedly ‘Go woke: Go broke’ environment.
