Path | Passion | Purpose by DIONZ is a podcast that aims to inspire and empower its audience by interviewing conscious and impactful global leaders, nextgens, entrepreneurs, and creatives. Through candid conversations, guests share their path to discovering their passion - or the unique gifts that make them who they are - and, more importantly, how they transformed their passion into impactful endeavours that co-create a positive impact for us all. Instead of recording our podcast in a static studio, we ventured into the world to video record our interviews at locations representative of our speakers, adding an extra layer of intimacy and authenticity to our speakers’ stories. For our debut season, we have recorded 15 episodes that will go live weekly until mid-June 2024. We know you are busy but eager to learn and invest in yourself; hence, we've kept most episodes to 20 minutes and provided resources to dive deeper. We hope you tune in and enjoy the conversations as much as we did!
