What’s the point of success if you don’t feel fulfilled?

In this first episode of You Don’t Know Jack, Dr. Jack Groppel and Dr. Haley Perlus explore purpose, meaning, and why they matter for performance, happiness, and resilience. Jack shares how discovering purpose through the School of Knox helped shape his life and leadership, and Haley explains how having the right mentor saved her years (maybe decades) of trial and error while building a career that is both successful and meaningful.

Together they break down:

  • Why purpose is not “soft,” but essential for performance
  • How meaning drives motivation, energy, and resilience
  • Why fulfillment and success don’t have to compete
  • How to find direction in your own life and career

Whether you’re an athlete, professional, or someone searching for what’s next, this episode gives you a clearer way to think about purpose, growth, and living well while performing at a high level.
