67 - Your Purpose Is Closer Than You Think | Why Serving Others Changes Everything

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.
