In this raw and personal episode of Breach Your Mind, Bryan and Chris revisit the timeless question: What’s my purpose—and how the hell do I find it?
Bryan shares how a message seen on a church bathroom wall—“Be still and listen”—became a guiding principle through his journey from teenage firefighter to seasoned law enforcement leader. Chris opens up about the emptiness he felt after leaving the military and how a spontaneous act of compassion revealed his deeper purpose.
🎯 Topics covered:
- Finding meaning in misery
- How your strengths may already be pointing you toward purpose
- The role of signs, silence, and reflection
- Why your purpose doesn’t need to be grand—it just needs to be real
Whether you're in transition, feeling stuck, or just questioning what's next, this episode is a reminder: Purpose doesn't shout. It whispers. You just have to get quiet enough to hear it.
