The Life Purpose Podcast on Life Signatures Radio

📢 New #Podcast! If we were careful enough, we will easily see that the underlying reason for the existence of many organisations is to serve a purpose greater than the benefit of those organisations. No matter what nature an organisation is, if it doesn't have the enduring themes of helping, contributing, solving, transformation, and impact, it won't last long. How might we change this?

📢 New #Podcast! It's another awesome opportunity to get started with yet another series on the podcast. Much as I love to sensitise individuals to know, own, and deploy their purpose, there is a much greater need for this to be done for organisations. How exactly can we transmute purpose into our organisations today? Why is it important and what approaches could we use? Listen to this.

📢New #Podcast! The world around us is full of needs. As people of purpose, it is important that occasionally and internationally, we go out of our ways to bridge the gap between the need in the world and our professional lives. One way of meeting needs in society is to give of our time deploying our professional works for free to others. This is revolutionary. Here is how that might benefit all of us.

📢New #Podcast! The world operates through interconnectivity. Everything is connected to everything else. Physics tells us that for every action there is an equal but opposite reaction. Deployment of our purpose probono is something that we seriously need to look into. It appears to me that many think that it's not worth it because it doesn't pay. However, it really does pay in other ways. Listen to this.

📢New #Podcast! Imagine if we all offered our professional services to pwople in need from time to time! We are adept at giving, the concept of helping others. However, we have found it easier to part with lose change or worn clothes or even a hefty amount of money. The greatest gift we can give is time...and what we put into that time. Try probono services. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast! Probono means deployment of your professional purpose, calling, or career but not getting paid for it. In other words, you are deploying yourself exactly as if you would ve paid, with all your heart, soul, mind and spirit, with finesse. Whereas we are not getting instant payment or payments at all when we do probono work, there are other ways we benefit. Here is one of those ways. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast When we talk about probono, you would be seriously tempted to think that this is just done "to fulfill all righteousness." As such, you don't hear much of excitement in all niches about probono work. This needs to be rectified. Probably it is so because we haven't learned the benefits of doing this. In this episode, let's see how best to do it. Listen to this.

📢New #Podcast! When you talk about probono, it's only one profession that mostly come to mind. The legal profession. If we understood what power there is in probono services, we will go out of our way and do this. It's not what comes cheap; it's going to cost us. Here is why we should do it. Listen to this.

📢New #Podcast! At some point in time, in fact, if we were to be honesy, there are always many opportunities available to deploy our purpose probono. It could be even a much better way as a startup to introduce yourself to the market. There is though, a massive difference between probono work and volunteering or interning. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast! Firtst off, we need to understand that purpose being a spiritual thing is not an excuse not to charge for it and make it profitable. Purpose must be valuable. However, there will always be people in society who cannot afford your prices. That's where probono work begins. How might we benefit from this?

🎺New #Podcast! As a six year old, her dad bought her a bar of chocolate. Wanting to always have more of this, she literally planted it in the ground hoping to reap a harvest. Years later, Elizabeth Mushabe is the Proprietor of Rozaho restaurant (in Naguru and Kololo in Kampala, Uganda), as well as the director at SMS One. I has a conversation with her under the theme: Believers in Business. It was quite instructive. I am sure you will enjoy it. Listen to this.

🎺New #Podcast! When it comes to productivity, there is no question that it is the one mandate that mankind has that keeps us going and alive. It's therefore important to continue learning as much as possible about it. In this episode, I juxtapose creativity against working smart as the internal drivers to success. Listen to this.

🎺New #Podcast! As we have already established in the previous episodes, Productivity is THE reason for the existence of mankind. When we stop producing after our potential, gifts and talents and all the possibilities available to us, we die. Let's therfore arm ourselves with as munch information about Productivity as possible. Here are two more internal drivers for productivity.

🎺New #Podcast! Perhaps the greatest call in humanity is to be productive. This cuts across all strata od society. No one is exempt. If there is no productivity in life, that's the end of the world. Therefore, it's important that we learn as much as possible about this subject. Check out these two internal drivers of productivity.

🎺New #Podcast! There are readily available internal drivers for productivity. These are much more potent than the external drivers. For instance, a person with a pathetic attitude even though competent might not be as productive as compared to an incompetent person with a great attitude. Listen to this.

🎺New #Podcast! One of the biggest mistakes we make in the religious and spiritual circles is the use of the label, "secular". In that case I have seem people compartmentalise life, especially business. Nevertheless, there is a very strong connection between business and spirituality. It's not like God is not interested in businesses. Listen to this.

🎺New #Podcast! You cannot convince me otherwise that one of the BIGGEST reasons for the existence of mankind is productivity. Tell me another! If that's the case, we need to look at how we can be more productive in this life. We've been sharing several pillars of Productivity. Here's a summary of ten of them.

🎺New #Podcast! The story of Vine Pharmacies has been told several times. It is a story that is still evolving. There is quite a number of nuggets to learn from Grace Munyirwa, who is the Managing Director and our guest today. Listen to this.

🎺New #Podcast! Productivity is one the two top reasons why we exist. Tell me if I am wrong and replace Productivity with something else worth its salt. I bet there is none. For us to be productive, we need to be healthy and have clarity. Listen to this.

🎺New #Podcast! If productivity is one of the most important things to God and for our lives, then we need to get as many tools as possible te enable us be productive. Here is one tool we can use to improve our productivity. Listen to this.

🎺New #Podcast! As long as we are productive, we are juggling and mixing very many components and pieces together. One of the biggest misconceptions in religious circles is that there is only one input to Productivity-pleasing God. Well, God wants us to be productive primarily. If we are to do that, then we need to teach management and competence the same way we teach worship and holiness. Listen to this.

🎺New #Podcast! Productivity is one of the foremost reasons why we are alive, if not the most important reason why we were created. God is particular about it. As much as spirituality has it's place, it doesn't work in a vacuum to effect Productivity. There are many pillars of Productivity. I have discussed two. Listen to this.

🎺New #Podcast! We've already established that purpose and productivity rank top on the list of God's agenda for mankind. We cannot help but be purposely productive. Going forward, we need to find as many productivity nuggets as we can. This is a critical thing to God, that the crown of his creation be productive. Listen to this.

🎺New #Podcast! Have you ever asked yourself the meaning of it all? Why are we here on earth? Unfortunately, some people take one side of the balance and run with it. That's why you end up with religious people wonderful why their religion is not making sense in the equation of productivity. But God is particular about the productivity of man that he calls the unproductive, "wicked". Listen to this.

🎺New #Podcast! In this month, I am bringing you conversations on the theme: Believers In Business. I had a wonderful conversation with a wonderful human being. She is Dr Eunice Adubango. She has a PhD in civil engineering project management, Masters engineering management, and BSc. Civil engineering. Dr.Eunice has lectured in Makerere University for 12 years (2006 to 2018) and is currently lecturing at Ndejje University School of graduate engineering studies. She is the Owner and managing partner Talitha Store, Eunie's Kitchen Ltd and Eunie's Culinary School. She has authored 4 books, including a yearly women's devotional written each year for the last 7 years. It's a great pleasure to kick-start this month's conversations with Dr. Eunice. I am glad you will learn. Ps, apologies for the background music distractions.

🎺New #Podcast! This is a re-run of an earlier episode where I had a conversation with the Assistant Inspector General of Police, Asan Kasingye. I did this in support of Police Day that has always been done on October the second. However, I have been informed that this event won't take place this year. Nevertheless, let's enjoy this conversation. Listen to this.

🎺New #Podcast! What moves us to success? How do we use our religion and spiritual pursuits to be productive? A lot of times we skew this thing up by being overly religious and thinking that our holiness will deliver productivity. Listen to this episode as I share one of the biggest lies in religion that we have believed without even questioning it.

🎺New #Podcast! The subject of spirituality juxtaposed with productivity will always create some debate. Indeed, there are many who have thought that the ticket to success is high end spirituality and religiosity. In the end, these are the most disillusioned people you will ever meet. "God, I have been well behaved, but why Am I broke?" I know that feeling, believe me. Listen to this.

🎺New #Podcast! Perhaps the most dangerous barriers to our dreams are those related to the dreamer and the way they handle the dreaming process. Still, there are some things that we can do to overcome these barriers at this level. Five of these things are simple hacks that we can put in place. Listen to this.

🎺New #Podcast We are normally told that everything is created twice. I think it's even more times. However, we err when we think that the easiest part of creation is the conceptualising stage. Consequently, we approach dreaming with a laissez-faire attitude and give it less of our attention. When we come to the point that the dream needs brain power, we see impossibilities. Here is how to solve that.

🎺New #Podcast! If you wanted to eat an elephant, you will do that successfully one piece at a time. If you attempted to do it all at once, you will be attempting to do what is virtually impossible. Similarly, if you wanted to fulfil your dreams all at once, you will be forced with seeming impossibilities. Seeming because it can be possible if you did this one thing. Listen to this.

🎺New #Podcast! A lot has been said about the startup world by many people. It is one thing to read about it in books and quite another to see one making ripples practically. To close the theme of this month's conversations about technology and innovation, I spoke with my guest today. He has built a startup that is serving at least 8 African countries and rapidly growing. There's a lot to learn from his story. Listen to this.

🎺New #Podcast! Dreams come shrouded at times with a mystery of impossibilities. That's why the older you grow, the less enthusiastic you are about them, unless something dramatic happens. How do we deal with these seeming impossibilities in our dreams? The fact is that they have killed many a dream and are still at it today. Listen to this.

🎺New #Podcast Dreaming is serious business. How to do it though can mean heaven and earth difference between the life or death of the dream. At times what's considered an Impossibility could be true or it could be an illusion. Still, it shouldn't spell doom for the fruition of your dream. Here's how to overcome the Impossibility barriers.

🎺New #Podcast! We have always been admonished that everything is created twice. Technically, I would say it's more than that. The initial stages of creation involve a dream. If you are really up to it, you can have a blast with this stage. If you aren't, you'll see your dreams die in minutes. Dreaming is serious business. Listen to this.

🎺New #Podcast! Dreams are attained through a process. The most delicate part of the dream is the conception. When you are living in an environment filled with hardship and seeming impossibilities, it's so easy to kill a dream. That's why we have to learn to look at our impossibilities from a different dimension. We are not necessarily ignoring the impossibilities, but we are seeking to dream the impossibilities notwithstanding. Listen to this.

🎺New #Podcast! Gravity. Perhaps the most potent analogy that we will always face opposition and friction as far as our pursuits of purpose and dreams are concerned. At times though, our dreams and plans will always face barriers. Sometimes these barriers can even be impossibilities. Many dreams fail because of this. Let's start learning what to do. Listen to this.

🎺New #Podcast! When I design and craft an inanimate object such as a stool, it has no say on how it can or will be used. It is Its fate. The human being is a different case altogether. Yes, the human didn't decide their purpose because they had no control over their origin. They also have no control over their inevitable individual end. However, still, we are not victims of fate in our purpose pursuits. Listen to this.

🎺New #Podcast! Information Technology is one field that spreads its tentacles to vary many areas of our lives. As such, the limitation it has could be our imagination and indeed, the extent of our Innovations. I had a conversation with an IT Specialist, Mr. Anatoli who took a personal tragedy and created an awesome solution that is now serving many households in Kampala on matters security. Here's his story.

🎺New #Podcast! Fate has the connotations of helplessness and haplessness to some finality in life, most especially on something we don't want but must face. As such the opposite of this would be destiny. When it comes to purpose pursuit, we cannot claim that we are victims of fate. There are several reasons why I say so. In this episode, we look at one of them. Listen to this.

🎺New #Podcast! Fate is the development of events outside a person's choices, decisions or control. It's like it doesn't matter what you do, fate will find you. Fortunately, we cannot say the same thing about purpose pursuit. It's not an afterthought. It's not a sentence, it's even not a must. Whereas you don't decide what your purpose is, you do have control over It's deployment. Listen to this.

🎺New #Podcast! There are quite a number of reasons why you and I are not victims of fate. Fate would mean that we have no say in our purpose pursuit, and we are forced to accept whatever life throws at us. However, when you understand the point I am sharing in this episode, you will see how possible it is to flip interviews. Your relevance is not in how many interviews you attend, but how well you can interview life. Listen to this.

🎺New #Podcast! I do not know the pain, heartache or crises you have faced and are facing today. So I might come off as an insensitive and unfeeling guy who doesn't care when i say that you are not a victim of fate. However, i honestly do believe that you indeed were predestined and that your very existence is intentional. Listen to this.

🎺New #Podcast! I believe that your purpose, when you get to serve it, is not fate. It is destiny. That's why it is possible to live a life outside of it for decades and even be happy. However, you won't be fulfilled. If purpose pursuit was fate, something that is inevitable, something that's forced on you, then everyone would suffer it. Here's why I believe otherwise.

🎺New #Podcast! Your phone or any gadget through which you are reading these words is an inanimate object. It didn't have any decision, let alone opinion on how it's to function. You on the other hand has the powers to choose, to decide and to feel good or bad about your life purpose. The interesting thing is that just like your phone, you don't decide what your purpose is. Fate? Listen to this.

🎺New #Podcast! Different people are passionate about different things. My guest has massive experience in the Telecom Industry having worked there at different level, niches and countries. It's from this experience that he developed a passion for clean energy. I had a conversation with him about his career and so how he ended up being passionate about solar energy. He is a trained engineer who has now founded his company to champion solutions in clean energy. If that's your thing, I am sure you will enjoy this conversation. Listen to this.

🎺New #Podcast These are pretty strong words to juxtapose purpose betwixt them. When we are deploying our purpose, is it fate that we do it whether we like it or not? Is it destiny where we are preselected and thus participate with joy? Do we have control over what our purpose in life can be? We need to answer these questions and more. Here is my attempt in this episode. Listen to this.

🎺 New #Podcast! Today, 12th September 2022, marks a very special day for The Fourth Heritage Initiative. It's an organisation that has been founded by my guest in today's episode, Emmanuel Kirunda. As such, today's episode is one of those rare conversations that I call "Special Conversation" because it's unusual for me to publish a conversation on a Monday. Today's is necessary because of timing and seasonality. Emmanuel is a Ugandan working in Europe but with an insatiable burden to influence the mindsets of fellow Africans for a better heritage. Listen to this wonderful conversation. Ps. The launch is at National Theater in Kampala at 2 PM EAT.

🎺New #Podcast! It's a great question to answer. Do we have control over our purpose in terms of what it is or is it something thay is forced on us? In this episodes going forward, I want to explore that subject of fate and destiny. What do you think it is as far as your purpose is concerned? Listen to this.

🎺New #Podcast! There could be more than these eight reasons why I believe that you have what it takes to make it in this life. These eight are not in any way exhaustive. It has been a marathon of episodes trying to convince those who think otherwise. I do believe that you have what it takes. The final reason is this: you are a resilient soul. Listen to this.
