Passion Struck with John R. Miles
Welcome to Passion Struck, the #1 Alternative Health podcast, where we uncover what it truly means to matter. I’m John Miles, author, Navy veteran, and former Fortune 50 executive. You built a life that looks good; now let’s build one that feels true. Each week, I sit down with leading neuroscientists, psychologists, health experts, and thought leaders to explore the science of purpose, the psychology of lasting change, and the mind–body connection that fuels a meaningful life. This is your corner of the internet to pause, reflect, and reimagine who you are and who you can become. Because mattering isn’t something you earn. It’s something you choose. Stop existing. Start mattering. New episodes every Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday.
