Behind what we do each day – the emails, coding, releases, sales, and solving of problems big and small – what connects us with the world? What gives meaning to the hours of effort? What is our impact on people, whose challenges and dreams inspire our own?
Run With Purpose explores all these questions. It is a conversation, a celebration, a call to action. It asks us to pause, step back from the day-to-day and reflect on the big picture of what we do, and why we do it.
“I was taught by my mother to share. That’s how we grew up. Whatever we have – money or food – we share with friends and other people. As I grew older and I had passion for reading and knowledge, I want to share that as well.”
