After the interview with Arman, I reflected and analyzed if living with a purpose, according to my values, leading with the heart, having strong relationships and being disciplined (the concept of empowering leadership that Arman described in the first part of our interview) does bring happiness into my life. And Yes, it does! I do feel happy when all 5 components are properly mixed. Looking forward to get your feedback, does it work for you?

Enjoy the listening!
