Ep. 290 – How To Lead With Intention in a World Built on Applause {inspired by George Michael}

What if the most meaningful things we ever do are the ones no one will ever see?

This episode was inspired by a powerful article I read about George Michael and the countless acts of anonymous generosity he carried out during his life. (You’ll hear me accidentally say he passed in 2026 instead of 2016 — a very human slip — but the heart of the story stands.)

His legacy is a reminder that real impact is quiet, soulful, and never dependent on recognition. In a world that has become increasingly performative, today’s conversation guides us back to intention, depth, and the kind of giving that comes from our truest selves.

What you’ll hear in this episode:

• The George Michael story that sparked today’s message
• Why so much of our world has become performative
• How to check your intention before you give or serve
• What it feels like to act from soul instead of ego
• Why approval seeking keeps us disconnected
• Reflection questions to help you return to heart-led action
• A reminder that real impact never needs an audience

Closing affirmation:

I choose to give because it feels right, not because it will be seen.
