The Purpose Mastermind: Helping Leaders Get Unstuck and Live with Meaning in Work, Marriage, and Parenting
The Purpose Mastermind is a podcast for leaders who want clarity, direction, and real impact...not just at work, but at home. Too many people succeed professionally while feeling disconnected personally. This podcast helps you close that gap.
Each episode will challenge you to stop living problem-focused and start living purpose-focused.
You’ll learn how to:
- Get unstuck and gain clarity about your life direction
- Discover your purpose and actually live it out daily
- Strengthen your marriage and show up better for your spouse
- Lead your kids with intention, not just react to life
- Bring alignment between your work life and your home life
Because leadership isn’t just about what you accomplish.
It’s about who you become—and how you love the people closest to you.

E295: The Difference Between Controlling People and Empowering Them
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What if the people you love don't need more control...
What if they need more empowerment?
In this episode of the Purpose Mastermind Podcast, Mark sits down with his wife, Adena Delaney, for an honest conversation about one of the biggest struggles many women—and many leaders, parents, and spouses—face: trying to help people by controlling them.
Together they explore the difference between creating pressure and creating growth. Through stories from parenting, marriage, teaching, and everyday life, they unpack how respect, surrender, and purpose help people become more than control ever could.
In this episode you'll discover:
• Why good intentions can still create unhealthy control.
• The difference between empowering people and trying to fix them.
• How respect unlocks growth in your marriage and family.
• Why facing your own heart is the first step to influencing others well.
• The powerful "Farmer's Wife vs. Gala" analogy for building a meaningful life.
• How one small decision—just "one tire rotation"—can begin changing everything.
Whether you're a wife, husband, parent, teacher, coach, or leader, this conversation will challenge you to stop trying to manage people and start helping them become who they were created to be.
