Episode 692: Find Out Who You Are and Do It on Purpose

Dolly Parton once said: find out who you are and do it on purpose.

In a world that constantly invites us to be something other than ourselves, doing it on purpose is a radical act.

In this episode I use Dolly's life as a masterclass in self-leadership. She was told early in her career to change the way she dressed to appeal to a wider audience. She did not. She was pressured repeatedly to use her platform to express political opinions. She declined. Decade after decade, in an industry designed to reshape people into whatever the market wanted, she remained distinctly, completely herself. That is not stubbornness. That is a woman who knew herself so thoroughly that external pressure did not find much purchase. This episode is a tribute to that kind of knowing, and an invitation to find it for yourself.
