Why Purpose Matters More Than Ever – Coffee with Max

Welcome to Episode 116 of the Built on Purpose Podcast, brought to you by Y Scouts.  

 

In this solo episode of the Built On Purpose Podcast, Max Hansen launches a new series called Coffee with Max to explore raw insights, real leadership stories, and simple frameworks for growing meaningful businesses.

He shares how he lost his sense of purpose and rebuilt it through founding Y Scouts, why job descriptions are broken, and how companies can lead with values in the AI age.

💡 What You’ll Learn:

✅ Why the promise of tech and social media has failed to connect us
✅ How to structure job roles and hiring around purpose

✅ Why leadership starts with clear values and accountability

🔥 Memorable Quotes:

✨ “Purpose matters more than ever. It’s the antidote to a disconnected, AI-driven world.” – Max Hansen
✨ “You can’t outsource culture. Leaders drive values, values drive behaviors, and behaviors drive performance.” – Max Hansen
✨ “Hiring the right people is the only sustainable business strategy.” – Max Hansen
