Feeling the Measure of Your Creation: Purpose, Youth Voices and World Changers
Episode Overview
- Start by looking at what you love, what feels natural and what comes easily, as these can point towards your purpose.
- Follow your inner guidance and heart rather than letting others assign you a path or identity.
- Aim to be a producer more than a consumer by creating value, sharing your gifts and contributing to others.
- Hold on to your own dreams even when people say "you can’t"; your route to success may just look different.
- Embrace change and new experiences, as they can reveal strengths and callings you hadn’t noticed before.
“Each person has the capacity of being able to change 70,000 lives in their lifetime.”
What drives someone to seek a life that actually fits who they are? This Minor League instalment of Addict II Athlete trails Savannah and Coach Blu as they chat about purpose, calling, and what it means to "feel the measure of your creation" – all through the lens of a very unusual school day. Savannah kicks things off with a story about a missing backpack, a skipped class, and an unplanned heart-to-heart with her seminary teachers.
Instead of being told off, she’s called "so influential" and drawn into deep conversations about faith, service, and her role as a seminary ambassador. It’s a handy reminder that sometimes stepping slightly outside the rules opens space for real connection. From there, the conversation widens into how young people figure out why they’re here.
Blu talks about spirituality, service and the idea that "each person has the capacity of being able to change 70,000 lives in their lifetime." Savannah wrestles with being a "social talkative person", wondering if she’s annoying, then realising those very traits might be her gift. Together they break down practical steps: start with what comes naturally, follow your heart, and stop squeezing yourself into someone else’s version of success.
They contrast being a consumer – always taking – with being a producer who creates value, whether through art, speaking, or simple everyday kindness. There’s humour (including an elf who just wants to be a dentist and a kid who says you can’t touch the moon), but the message lands clearly: you don’t wait for permission to live your purpose, and you don’t have to fit a standard path to make a difference.
If you’ve ever wondered whether your quirks, passions and voice actually matter, this conversation might have you asking: what if you’re more of a "world changer" than you think?
