Why do actors drive Ferrari's and teachers ride the bus?
Perch "The Thoughtful Pause Podcast"
08/30/23 • 61 min
Why do we, as a culture, as a society, value things in the way that we do? How do we decide what warrants greater attention, stronger accolades, or more praise? How do we decide what is worthy of our time and money? Do we really even give it that much thought, or are we pulled down the river of public sentiment and opinion?
In this episode of Perch, we discuss the notion that perhaps we don't really value the things that are truly important, and that based on influences both internal and external, we have mis-aligned those things in our lives and in our world that are most worthy of our attention, praise, and support. We'll discuss how the things we often covet allow us avoid addressing bigger issues that prevent us from reaching higher and achieving more. Do we really understand the world around us and are we an active participant or simply in the crowd?
Remember, your Perch isn’t just a place to sit; it’s a place to seek a higher perspective.

Listen to your heart, your purpose is calling: Part 2 with Genevieve Piturro
Perch "The Thoughtful Pause Podcast"
12/27/23 • 33 min
Have you ever felt like a greater purpose is calling you, but you're not quite sure how to answer it? Genevieve Piturro, the visionary behind the Pajama Program, joins us to unravel the mysteries of finding life's purpose, sharing an exercise that goes beyond standard goal-setting to unearth your true passions. Our heartfelt conversation reveals how this practice transformed my own perspective, proving it's never too late to align your life with intention and passion. Whether you're poised to take a bold leap or prefer a gentle slide into new beginnings, Genevieve's insights are a beacon for anyone on the path to self-discovery.
This episode swings open the doors to the powerful realm of intention and how it can elevate our spirit when we live purposefully. Amid the relentless hustle and bustle of reality TV and endless scrolling through social media, we explore the necessity to connect with our deeper selves. I get candid about my own eureka moments, the challenges of vulnerability, and the illusion that time has run out to pursue our dreams. We also celebrate the sheer joy and gratitude that overflows when you find alignment with your true self.
Wrapping up this motivational journey, we ponder how pursuing purpose isn't just personal; it's also a powerful force in business, inspiring companies to leave a meaningful legacy. Through reflections inspired by Oprah's literary wisdom and the concept of a 'purpose quotient' for organizations, Genevieve and I discuss the essential connection between business, purpose, and community. The authenticity that comes from facing our fears and living with intention, I invite you to join us in making art, peace, love, and happiness our compass for the year ahead. Let's move forward together with purpose and leave our unique, indelible marks on the world.
