The Purpose Tapes
Stories That Built Me
Honest reflections on becoming more than what I was taught to be.
Purpose Tapes are my way of making sense of everything I’ve carried.
They’re written reflections—part memoir, part letter, part blueprint—about growing up, working, failing, starting over, and trying to build something true.
Each Tape is a story I’ve lived and a lesson I’m still learning.
I share them because I believe every person deserves to see that their struggle isn’t just theirs.
And maybe in reading mine, you’ll find a little more permission to tell your own.
The Tapes
🌱 Featured Tapes
Lost Boys & Reinvention
How leaving school, picking up tools, and reinventing myself over and over became the only way I knew how to survive.
The House of Mirrors
A reflection on seeing ourselves clearly—and why it’s the hardest, most important work we’ll ever do.
The Last One In
What I learned about pride, exhaustion, and the quiet ache of being the tradesman everyone calls when it all goes wrong.
💡 Why Share This?
Because there are a thousand ways to tell a story.
Most of the ones I heard growing up were about hiding your pain or pretending you were fine.
I don’t believe in that anymore.
I believe in telling the truth before it’s polished.
I believe in showing the work behind the life.
And I believe in giving the next generation proof that it’s okay to be imperfect and still be worthy.
