John McCarthy is a talent expert, author of The Purpose Promise, and the founder of AG Management and PurposePromise.org. In this episode, we explore why so many professionals feel stuck at work—and what to do about it. John breaks down how self-awareness, reflection, and alignment with your purpose can help you find meaningful work and avoid the “treadmill of disengagement.”
We also explore the future of work: why top employees are leaving, what today’s talent actually wants, and how leaders can build a culture of trust, purpose, and retention. If you’ve ever felt burned out, underutilized, or unsure whether it’s time to leave your job—this episode is your wake-up call.
