Pete's Take...
Simon Sinek's TED Talk, How Great Leaders Inspire Action, changed my life. At the time, I was really digging to discover my own purpose and it was after watching that video that I realized one's purpose could be helping other people discover theirs. I noticed that I began speaking differently, too. No longer was I just "doing web development."
