Passion Struck with John R. Miles
Alternative Health. Intentional Living. Radical Self-Transformation.
Winner of the 2025 Stevie Gold for Best Independent Podcast
Winner of the 2024 Gold Davey Award for Social Impact
Most personal growth podcasts push productivity. Passion Struck goes deeper—into the mental, emotional, and energetic foundations of a meaningful life.
Why do so many people do everything “right” and still feel unfulfilled?
That’s where Passion Struck is different.
Hosted by John R. Miles—award-winning author, Navy veteran, former Fortune 50 executive, and global expert on intentional living—this podcast isn’t about external success. It’s about internal transformation.
Because mattering isn’t something you earn.
It’s something you choose.
In each episode, John brings together the world’s leading neuroscientists, psychologists, alternative health experts, and thought leaders to explore:
- The science of purpose—how your brain is wired for meaning
- The psychology of transformation—why change is hard and how to make it last
- The mind-body connection—how holistic health fuels passion and performance
- The new rules of leadership, fulfillment, and human potential
If you're tired of drifting through life, checking boxes, and still feeling unfulfilled—this podcast is your wake-up call.
Stop existing. Start mattering.
New episodes drop every Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday.
