The Ten Thousand (10,000) Heroes Show
157 episodes - English - Latest episode: about 2 months ago - ★★★★★ - 9 ratings10,000 Heroes is a show about Purpose.
We interview people we admire about their journey with Purpose.
Which is a journey we’re all on – whether we like it, or acknowledge it, or not.
And then we share their insights, tools, and struggles with you.
10,000 Heroes (10kh) provides inspiration, intimacy, and maybe even a little bit of guidance, as to what it means to live a truly purposeful life, and how we each can get there in our own unique way.
In my mind, it’s not just a podcast, it’s a hero generation machine.
Because a World on Fire needs People with Purpose.
