Seats are swapping for this special podcast series on Resiliency. Author and podcast host Adam Mock steps in to interview Dr. Doug McKinley—the regular host—about his own book, The Resiliency Quest. This unique series explores five trailheads, each a metaphorical waypoint on the mountain hike of resilient leadership.

Today’s episode: The Quest for Purpose

Purpose isn’t a nice-to-have. It’s the trail marker that keeps leaders from getting lost in noise, burnout, and busywork. When you lead with purpose, your decisions align, your energy clarifies, and your influence deepens. Tune in to hear Dr. McKinley break down how resilient leaders find, follow, and fight for purpose—and what happens when they don’t. This isn’t just theory. It’s trail-tested wisdom.
