In this episode, Adam Smith and Ethan Ross talk about purpose, calling, vocation and whether or not they feel they've "missed" their calling. Ethan opens up and shares several stories from his time in the Army and on the police force and why he left both roles. Then, it becomes a bit of a therapy session when Adam admits he feels he missed his calling, only to discover, with help from Ethan, that he’s right where he’s meant to be.
