What sparks a global shift toward purpose-driven leadership? Joshua and Alisha explore the “Great Awakening,” where young people prioritize action over empty talk. Here’s what they dig into:

• Purpose Fuels Impact: Today’s youth are chasing intentional living, ditching unfulfilling jobs for work that aligns with their values, a movement amplified by the Great Resignation since 2020.
• Doers Outshine Wishers: Wishing for change is easy; acting on it transforms lives. Like buying food for the hungry versus just hoping they’re fed, real impact demands practical steps.
• Vision Breaks Barriers: Action-takers with clear goals push past comfort zones, reshaping norms. Unlike drifting younger generations, those in their 30s and 40s are leading with purpose, breaking generational cycles.
• Speed Defines Success: Startups accelerate growth with quick pivots, learning in 2–3 years what took past generations decades. The information age and AI empower anyone to act fast and make a difference.
