On this episode of Rhodes to Success, I interview Rick Martinez, who is a veteran registered nurse, writer, and successful entrepreneur. Rick has been named by San Antonio Business Journal as one of the city’s 40 under 40. His first company was named as one of the US Small Business Administration’s top 100 companies. During the show, we discuss purpose hacking, the ‘bink’ moment, life pivots, and what Rick learned from his recent book launch.

Key Lessons Learned:
Have you found your purpose in life? Do you recognize those moments that steer you towards it?
Purpose
- Finding one’s purposes is often perceived as finding the meaning of life. Purpose is simply living the life of deeper meaning.
- Rather than going through imposter syndrome and thinking ‘Who am I?’ instead make the choice of thinking ‘Why not me!’ and change the action to ‘I’m going to do these things.’
- Purpose isn’t a thing we have to go and find; it is something that is within and grows within us.
- We shouldn’t go chasing after our purpose, but rather chase the things that mean the most to us.
- Purpose doesn’t have an age limitation. There are younger people with their lives together, and older people who don’t.
- You don’t have to be a monk or climb mountains to find meaning in your life.
- Purpose isn’t about one thing, but about taking many things that fulfill us and make us whole.
