How do you actually find your purpose? In this episode of the Impact Podcast, Eddie Wilson sits down with missionary and entrepreneur Josh Hedman to challenge one of the biggest questions people ask throughout life. Instead of searching endlessly for purpose, they explore why purpose is often discovered through serving others. Recorded in Lima, Peru, this conversation follows Josh's journey from building business systems in the United States to serving families, children, and communities in South America. Along the way, Eddie shares why purpose is rarely a single defining moment. More often, it grows through small acts of service, faithful decisions, and a willingness to help the people already in front of you. The conversation also highlights Project Dakota, Impact Others' initiative to bring hope and Christmas gifts to children around the world, reminding us that even a small act of generosity can create a lasting impact. Whether you're building a business, growing in leadership, or searching for greater meaning, this episode offers a refreshing perspective on purpose, significance, and living a life that truly matters.

Mentorship may be one of the most overlooked keys to success. In this episode of the Impact Podcast, Eddie Wilson shares why major growth in life, business, leadership, relationships, and investing often comes through proximity to the right people. After watching his oldest son get married, Eddie reflects on the importance of having someone ahead of you who can offer wisdom, perspective, correction, and encouragement for the season ahead. Using the example of Alexander the Great and Aristotle, Eddie breaks down why mentorship is not simply access, information, or status. It is perspective. It is refinement. It is having someone close enough to recognize blind spots and call out the version of you that already exists beneath the surface. This episode is for anyone who feels stuck, underdeveloped, or aware that their next level will require more than information. It will challenge listeners to seek mentorship intentionally, serve before asking, become more coachable, and eventually turn around to mentor someone else.
