You Owe You with Dr. Eric Thomas - Episode 2

Hey there! I'm Charisa Munroe-Wilborn, and I'm thrilled to welcome you to another amazing episode of the Purpose Finder Podcast. You know what we're all about here - inspiring you to discover and embrace your purpose so you can live a life that's truly meaningful, fulfilling, and significant. We're all asking that big question: "Why am I here?" Well, I hope your search ends right here with us.

Today, I'm beyond excited to have someone incredibly special joining us - a man who doesn't just talk about purpose, he LIVES it. You know him as ET, the hip-hop preacher, Dr. Eric Thomas.

You know what's funny? I keep wanting to call him Dr. Thomas (my momma raised me right about respecting my elders!), but he's asked me to call him ET throughout our chat today.

I know you are eager to hear the wisdom that's about to flow from ET’s heart, and honestly, I can't wait to learn from his journey myself.
