Purpose Chasers Podcast
Welcome to the Purpose Chasers ® Podcast I’m your host Mark Crandall. In 2015 I left my career as a therapist to use my drug-addicted criminal past coupled with a traumatic childhood to help 1000s of individuals just like you reinvent themselves. I was tired of dreading my day-to-day life. I was working unfulfilling jobs, wasting time playing video games, binging on tv, just trying to get my mind off of the fact that I had a calling to do more, to be more. For years I wanted to write a book, to become a speaker, and to empower others to achieve their dreams. In 2016 I took a stand. I invite you to do the same. Purpose Chasers ® it is time to take a stand. As Purpose Chasers ® we refuse to settle for average, we chase our dreams, accomplish our goals and support, encourage and challenge our community to create the lives we want to live. Why have we Purpose Chasers ® taken this stand? “Because life is too short to not live fulfilled” I want to thank you for being a part of the Purpose Chasers ® community and invite you to seek the support that allowed me to take my stand towards creating the life of my dreams. I invite you to join our Purpose Chasers ® community on Facebook at: https://www.facebook.com/groups/thePurposechasers and receive exclusive content and coaching from me and follow us @thepurposechasers on all social media as well.

Lesson #8: Ripping the E-Brake (HCH 021)
Some days you’ve just gotta rip the e-brake and take time for evaluation and self-reflection. Taking time to pause, sit back, and think about your current circumstances can be one of the most humbling experiences. When we recognize where we are, how far we have come, and where we are headed, we begin to see our own personal growth. This week, I am sharing yet another lesson that I am currently learning and what it’s teaching me about my own personal growth. I am most content with where I am in business and how I show up in my relationships than I have been all year. And I have internal evaluation and self-reflection to thank for that. Clearing the necessary space has allowed me to seek the things that truly bring me the most joy. And I can’t wait to see what’s on the other side of all of this. Topics Discussed: Why it’s important to hit pause, reflect, and evaluate Knowing when to fire clients and step out of business relationships Creating space as an entrepreneur to grow and learn Dealing with self-limiting beliefs and FOMO

Ep. 86:Sense of Accomplishment -The Greatest Coaching Session I've Been on the Receiving End of
Sometimes trials can lead to our greatest triumphs. What may seem like a holding pattern may just be the road to your success. After weeks of feeling stressed out and pulled into different directions, I have finally found an inner peace that has led to making some powerful decisions in my business. If you feel a huge shift coming to your business and your personal life, then you are not alone. In today’s episode, I am sharing the best piece of advice that my mentor recently spoke into me that shifted my focus for Purpose Chasers. As I’ve realized the different stipulations I was putting on myself, I had been really stressed and felt stretched thin. COVID-19 has taught us a lot of things but one thing that I’ve really pressed into lately is that this has been a huge blessing for me to go inward and do the necessary groundwork. And I can’t wait to share this new season with you. Purpose Chasers, are you ready to level? Because the time is NOW to step into our greatest callings.

Ep. 85: Casey Romero - Taking a Stand
One of my core beliefs is that you can’t have true transformation if you don’t focus on your spiritual transformation. While an intellectual transformation is important in growth and maturation, going to hype conferences and surrounding yourself with like-minded individuals can only get you so far. So, what does this look like for you? In today’s episode, I am talking with Casey Romero, co-founder of Uphunter Solutions whose vision is to “Inspire the human spirit through technology”. She is one of the foundation people who helped me work through my own self-limiting beliefs. Through her ongoing work, Casey is committed that each and every person, regardless of their past or circumstances, has the opportunity to discover their power and grace and impact the quality of their daily lives. It should come as no surprise that I invited Casey to discuss true transformation and how we can overcome our self-limiting beliefs.

Ep. 78: Purpose & Movement - Meeting Your Audience Where They Are
Building a community based on the philosophy of giving creates an atmosphere in which everyone receives. Most Masterminds are founded and operating from a mindset of scarcity. Each member’s ego is fighting for praise, striving to look better than other members, and gain recognition from the Mastermind facilitators. The Purpose & Movement Mastermind is designed for individuals that want to lead from their hearts and reap the rewards of giving. We seek to nurture an environment in which everyone supports, encourages, and challenges each other to grow and excel at and/or find their calling. We are excited to #give, not scared to #ask, or #celebrate our community #wins. When one member #wins we all WIN. When we pull each other up we all reach the sky.

Ep. 77: Debilitating Slumber
Every human wants to live their life at their maximum potential. However, the resistance comes from the stories that they have created in their heads surrounding the idea of how difficult that will actually be. As a result, they never end up completing their maximum potential because they often talk themselves out of chasing their greatest potential. They know what’s waiting for them on the other side but they never actually reach that point. However, this week, I am shutting down the false narrative that you can’t chase after your maximum potential. Through your consistent actions, there are rewards waiting on the other side for you. It’s time you stop creating stories in your mind around the idea that you can’t have what it is that you are set to do. Life isn’t always easy but there is always a way through the difficult times. Once we are able to see opportunity through adversity, then we are able to tap into our greatest potential.

Ep. 76: Why There is NO Such Thing as Pressure or Persuasion
Are you tired of allowing other people to make decisions for you? Do you often feel pressured by your environment to choose to take action? Maybe you feel pressured by society to opt for a specific career path that you’re not passionate about. Or maybe you have allowed your family to dictate what makes YOU happy in life. The truth is, though, oftentimes we don’t give ourselves enough credit for taking action. Sure, there are outside influences that can be the vehicle in which you get to your destination, but ultimately the choice is yours. This week, I am sharing with you the three-step-process to never be pressured or persuaded in your decision making again. My wish with this episode is that you start taking ownership of your life and start implementing your power of choice. Other people can’t live your life for you so it’s time to stop allowing them the freedom to make decisions for you. It’s time to breathe life and catch fire to what it is that you have been called to fulfill. Topics Discussed: How to align yourself with your core values The three-step-process to never be pressured again Why taking ownership over your life is a powerful strength Why you should be 100% committed to your goals and dreams Connect with Mark Crandall Join the exclusive Purpose Chasers ® Facebook group for unreleased content, interviews, live coaching, not to mention the epic community supporting, encouraging, and challenging each other to fulfill their dreams.

Ep. 75: Larry Hagner - Dad Edge Alliance
Are you struggling with connecting with your family? Maybe your efforts for being a positive father figure or a deeply devoted spouse aren’t quite being met. Or maybe you never had a father figure in your life, much less a positive relationship with your father, and you’re wanting to level up in how you parent your children. Regardless of your history, your future can still be rewritten. Sometimes our past, even the negative aspects, are needed to shape who we become in the future. You can make the choice today show up wholeheartedly for your family. This week, I am talking with Larry Hagner, founder of The Good Dad Project as we dive into what it means to truly connect with your family. Larry shares with us his humble beginnings as he walks us through his personal journey of fatherhood.

Ep. 74: I Get Interviewed by Rick Alexander
Recently in my meditation and contemplation, I’ve really felt the need to share part of my story on the show. I’ve had the idea for someone to interview me on the show for a while now. But I really wanted to make sure that whoever came on the show to interview me, that challenges me to be a better person. And what better person to have asked me questions about my past and my journey than Rick Alexander. Not only has he been a former guest on the show in its early release, but Rick has also been one of the people in my life whom I deeply respect and resonate with. This week, Rick Alexander, host of Morning Coffee, sits down and asks me to share parts of my journey that I haven’t shared on the show before. This special episode is one that is very near and dear to me as I get 100% honest and transparent about where I am at in life and how I have gotten to this place of acceptance and gratitude. Tune in to hear about my transformation and the pivotal moments in my life that helped shape who I am today.

Ep. 73: The Victim's Response to Choice

Ep. 73: The Victim's Response to Choice
Did you know that many of our decisions are operated out of fear? What opportunities we say yes to and others we say no to typically depend on how we allow outside forces to influence our decisions. But whether you recognize those fears or not, you are still the only person that is in control over your life. It is important that we start giving credit where credit is due. You are in control. Don’t let what happens to you decide what you do with the circumstances that you have been given. This week on Purpose Chasers, as promised I am sharing part two of the power of choice. Specifically, I am talking about the victim’s response to choice and how people make decisions out of fear. I am sharing with you what leads to decision making, or lack thereof, and how we can show up in our own lives. Ultimately, nobody can make the decision for us. Oftentimes we give outside influences too much credit for our decisions. But, remember, you have the power to choose the life that you want to live. Don’t allow outside influences to dictate how you show up for yourself. Topics Discussed: Recognizing pressure and persuasion as self-limiting beliefs Why saying yes to everyone is operating out of a scarcity mindset The difference between extending gratitude and taking credit for your actions How God, the Universe, Therapy, and Coaches can only carry you so far --- Connect with Mark Crandall Join the exclusive Purpose Chasers ® Facebook group for unreleased content, interviews, live coaching, not to mention the epic community supporting, encouraging, and challenging each other to fulfill their dreams.

Ep. 72: Angela Pugh - Addiction Unlimited
Have you ever wondered why so many people drop out of coaching courses? Or maybe you’ve asked yourself why people stop showing up for themselves in the middle of transformational masterminds? It’s not the lack of resources that stops people from achieving their goals. Want to know the real reason why people give up? They allow their self-limiting beliefs to dictate their actions. - This week, I am talking with Master Coach, Founder of My Recovery Toolkit, and host of the Addiction Unlimited podcast, Angela Pugh. We are discussing how commitment is the difference between those who give up half-way and those who achieve their goals. Angela shares with us her own self-limiting beliefs and how she has continued to invest in herself to ensure success in her own life. Purpose Chasers, get ready as we dive into what it truly means to invest in yourself. Topics Discussed: Why you should be investing in yourself and your mindset How implementing 10-15 minutes a day helps you move closer to your goals Why being uncomfortable is actually beneficial to how we show up in the world The importance of commitment and why so many people give up too early --- Connect with Angela Pugh Website: Podcast: Instagram: Resources Recovery Coaching: Connect with Mark Crandall Join the exclusive Purpose Chasers ® Facebook group for unreleased content, interviews, live coaching, not to mention the epic community supporting, encouraging, and challenging each other to fulfill their dreams.

Ep. 71: Purpose & Movement - The "Give & Ask" Approach
Building a community based on the philosophy of giving creates an atmosphere in which everyone receives. Most Masterminds are founded and operating from a mindset of scarcity. Each member’s ego is fighting for praise, striving to look better than other members, and gain recognition from the Mastermind facilitators. The Purpose & Movement Mastermind is designed for individuals that want to lead from their hearts and reap the rewards of giving. We seek to nurture an environment in which everyone supports, encourages, and challenges each other to grow and excel at and/or find their calling. We are excited to #give, not scared to #ask, or #celebrate our community #wins. When one member #wins we all WIN. When we pull each other up we all reach the sky. To apply for the mastermind go to

Ep. 70: The Power of Choice
What if you didn’t have to live a life that someone else chose for you? Don’t like your current career choices? Aren’t happy with where you’re currently at in life? The truth is, you have the complete power to decide right this very moment how the trajectory of the rest of your life is going to look like. While we all have the power of choice, many individuals only want someone else to make their decisions for them. This week, I am sharing the incredible power of choice and why we are capable of saying no. Let’s face it, not every opportunity is a great opportunity. Sometimes we have to say no to things that aren’t in our best interest. However, many of us get stuck in a routine that we feel like we have to make decisions in order to make other people happy. But what if I told you that you can, in fact, take back ownership over your life right this very moment? How would you choose to live the rest of your life? Topics Discussed: Why people make the wrong decisions in their life How to take ownership over your own life choices Why you shouldn’t give people the opportunity to choose for you The power in saying no to things that don’t serve you --- Connect with Mark Crandall Join the exclusive Purpose Chasers ® Facebook group for unreleased content, interviews, live coaching, not to mention the epic community supporting, encouraging, and challenging each other to fulfill their dreams.

Ep. 69: Everyone Wants a "Purpose"
Do you know what your true purpose in life really is? Have you ever felt like your purpose has shifted over time? The truth is, most individuals *think* they have an idea of what they were called to do. However, very few individuals have actually stepped into their calling. Everyone wants a purpose, but how many people actually find it? This week, I am sharing with you why you will never find your purpose by chasing a specific destination point. Many times we think that we will find our purpose if we could just hit a specific following or once we accomplish our goals, that’s when we’ve made it. We view success and purpose through a filter of self-limiting beliefs. However, what if I told you that it’s less about a destination and more about a transformational journey? Topics Discussed: Shifting away from the idea that purpose is a physical location Identifying self-limiting beliefs that are holding you back How to take actionable steps that help guide you into finding your true purpose --- Connect with Mark Crandall Join the exclusive Purpose Chasers ® Facebook group for unreleased content, interviews, live coaching, not to mention the epic community supporting, encouraging, and challenging each other to fulfill their dreams.

They say you are the average of your immediate sphere of influence so if this is true, then what does this say about your current level of success?

Ep. 67: Are These Phrases Stopping You from True Transformation?
Is the story you’re currently telling yourself allowing you the access to truly step into transformation? Is there a lie you’re currently believing about yourself that is hindering your growth? Often times, what we really need in order to grow is a mental shift in the right direction. If you are feeling even the slightest bit of resistance towards your goals, you may be allowing your thought life to dictate how you take action. This week, I am sharing with you the two phrases that have hindered more personal development growth and transformational growth in my life than anything else. In order to have a true transformation, we must first realize that we have the potential to take action. Our mindset and thought life are huge indications of whether or not we show up for ourselves. Topics Discussed: The two MOST restrictive phrases that hinder personal development Why our thought life is potentially blocking our transformational growth The relationship between our thought life and the ability to take action How to shift our mindset from playing defense to finding a new truth for ourselves Understanding how the story we tell ourselves dictates how we show up in the world --- Connect with Mark Crandall Join the exclusive Purpose Chasers ® Facebook group for unreleased content, interviews, live coaching, not to mention the epic community supporting, encouraging, and challenging each other to fulfill their dreams.
