Insights from host Carol Cone

Purpose 360 has been a true passion project from the very beginning. From those early episodes filled with excitement and eagerness to the triumphant celebration of our 150th show, every moment has been a labor of love. This podcast has allowed me to connect with my network of purpose-driven leaders to amplify their voices and share their inspiring stories of creating positive change. It's been a journey of growth, learning, and profound impact, and I couldn't be more grateful to our listeners for being a part of this adventure.


Since those initial episodes, Purpose 360 has grown to become a treasure trove of wisdom for practitioners seeking a meaningful path in the ever-evolving landscape of business. Now, with 150 episodes featuring rich insights from a diversity of guests,Purpose 360 has become a testament to the power of purpose and the transformative potential of business.
