Hey Purpose People! I am Yewande O’Neal, your host for the Purpose Pivots Podcast. I started this podcast to share stories of people who have turned decisions, detours, disappointments, and difficulties in their lives and careers into opportunities to pivot them into purposes.

I hope we will be inspired by their stories and recipes to success to push us to seek our own purposes in this world, regardless of our circumstances. These people are living proof that life is indeed 10% what happens to us and 90% of how we react to it. See you in the next one!
