Stop Waiting. Start Living.Most of us have been conditioned to believe a lie.We’re told that our worth is something to be earned, that we need to achieve more, hustle harder, and prove ourselves before we can finally feel like we matter.But no matter how much we accomplish, something still feels missing.Why? Because mattering isn’t something you prove—it’s something you create.And everything changes when you stop proving your worth—and start embodying it.Why Passion Struck is DifferentMost personal growth podcasts focus on hacks and habits—but they miss the deeper question:👉 Why do we feel unfulfilled, even when we’re doing everything “right”?Passion Struck is different because it’s built on a deeper truth.✅ You don’t find meaning—you create it.✅ Fulfillment isn’t external—it’s built from within.✅ The life you want isn’t ahead of you—it’s in the choices you make today.What You’ll LearnHosted by John R. Miles, a former Fortune 50 executive and expert on intentional living, Passion Struck brings together top scientists, psychologists, health experts, and thought leaders to explore:🧠 The Science of Purpose—How your brain is wired for meaning.💡 The Psychology of Transformation—Why lasting change is hard—and how to make it stick.⚡ The Mind-Body Connection—How holistic health fuels passion, energy, and performance.🚀 The New Rules of Success—How to lead, thrive, and matter in a fast-changing world.This Isn’t Just a Podcast—It’s a Wake-Up Call.A challenge to stop waiting.To stop proving.To start creating a life that truly matters.🔹 Rewire Your Mind.

Engaging

Absolutely loved episode featuring Elizabeth Weingarten listened and then listened again. Thought provoking and such a delight. Amazing choices with guest!

Too many ads

I like the content but there are way too many ads for me to fully enjoy the content. It’s hard to focus on the topic when they take a break so much.

Amazing

Love John’s podcast and how he comes prepared with each is amazing to me. He’s a great listener and lets his guests speak without having to constantly interrupt them as I have heard in a lot of podcasts. John is a class act!! I’m so happy I stumbled into his podcast and I’m now hooked. I will do everything I can to share his podcast with anyone I can.

John is a prepared, smart interviewer

There is so much to like about John’s podcast, including the fact that he really prepares for each interview, and the work shows in the kinds of deep, nuanced questions he asks. Also, in a world of podcasters who don’t let the interviewee shine, John is well-read and knows his stuff, but he doesn’t one-up the people he brings on the show, and that makes listening much more pleasant.
Francesca Sipma

Love this podcast!

John is a great host and asks very thoughtful and specific questions. He brings on great guests with actionable takeaways. I feel like a smarter, better person after every episode.

My favorite podcast ever

I found this a few months ago and it’s mind blowing. It feels like every time I need a pick up or some inspiration, I turn on Passion Struck and find all I need. More than anything, I love that John’s teaching us all that we matter. Every single one of us matters and having overcome childhood trauma, considering suicide even, learning that I matter has saved me. Thank you for putting this out into the world, John! ❤️
AlwaysLearning AlwaysEvolving

Yikes.

AI-generated

Haven't listened to the show yet, but I just read through the show description and about fifteen reviews, and every one of them was AI generated. I'm all for using tools, but there's no way this many people in a row are that lazy, so, there's some deception and manipulation at play here. May change this review after I listen, but in the meantime, not impressed.

Fascinating

John’s warm and calming presence takes us through fascinating topics with fascinating people - like on free will, loneliness and all things physical and mental health. You’ll learn a ton!
Dr. Jordyn

Informative, practical

I love listening to this podcast, including John’s solo episodes and his longer-form guest interviews. He is SO prepared and asks such insightful questions that get right to the heart of his interviewer’s work. He is informed and pulls from knowledge of outside sources (science, ancient wisdom) and provides fresh, hopeful perspectives on modern living.
Alan Stein
