039: Finding What Fulfills You and the Negative Effects of Going Viral [Dillon Hill]

#0039 Are you doing what fulfills you, or are you just doing what pays the bills?

In today's episode I'm chatting with Dillon Hill who, along with his friends, have set out on a mission to complete Kindness Projects with his company Live For Another.

What started out as a goal to help his friend (who was diagnosed with cancer) knock items off his bucket list, turned into something so much bigger and impactful than either of them could have imagined.

Since then, Dillon and the Live For Another team are showing how much of an impact one small group of friends can really have on the entire world.

In the episode we also talk about the dark side of "going viral" and it can have a negative impact if not looked at through the right lens.
