<p><span style="background-color: transparent;">When budgets are tight and hiring is hard, purpose might be the last thing on your list. But what if it should be the first?</span></p><p><br></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;">In this episode, host Julie Develin is joined by George Rogers, Chief Strategy Officer at Lighthouse Research & Advisory, author, keynote speaker, and podcast host, to make the case that purpose is not a feel-good idea; it's a powerful business tool.

George shares his RSVP framework for quarterly check-ins, explains how to translate purpose into the language of the boardroom, and unpacks why organizational friction quietly drains productivity when purpose is absent.</span></p><p><br></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;">If you've ever struggled to connect culture to business outcomes, this episode gives you the language, the framework, and the case to make it real.</span></p><p><br></p><p><br></p>
