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.

What is the one thing that Matthew McConoughey taught me which had a profound impact on my life? It’s the importance of showing up.
Matthew was a regular at our weekly congregation in Austin. He would show up unfailingly with his entire family, bring along his co-stars, and even mix freely with everyone.
This had a huge impact on my son, who was facing a particularly tough time in middle school then. Matthew also made me realize that I need to be more present for my family, irrespective of my busy professional life.
In today’s show, I reveal the three things that you can do so that you can show up every single day. If you feel that you need to set your priorities right and have been unfair to your loved ones, listening to today’s show will particularly help you out.
Enjoy!
