Dan Dominguez - Find Your Why Leads to Fulfillment (AoL 195)

When it comes to my work here at New Inceptions, one of the most often asked questions I’ve received is “JC, how did you find your why?” 10 years ago, I wouldn’t have really known what they were talking about. I hadn’t really thought about my motivators in life. Sure, I had thought about my personality and what I was naturally attracted to doing, but not what actually goes behind that thinking.

In fact, when I first heard Simon Sinek’s “Start with Why” presentation, it made since how he was relating it to companies, but it hadn’t really clicked for me how it related to people. That wouldn’t be until later. However, someone it did click with at the personal level was the founder of the Why Institute, Gary Sanchez.

In this chat, Gary’s right hand man, Dan Dominguez shares with us in his own words where he was when he stumbled upon Gary’s work and how Gary actually put the work together.

More specifically we’ll learn how Dan is now living his best life due to the work Gary has done as founder of the Why Institute.

If you’re still struggling to figure out your own Why, perhaps getting some time with Dan might be in your not too distant future?

Enjoy!
