Life today is drastically different from the way it was 200 years ago. Technology has completely reshaped people’s lives and work by moving them from the land to the factory to the office. People now live longer, and the quality of life has improved in many ways. But many think that society has suffered losses as well, and a few wonder how to regain what has been lost. One of those people is Aaron Hurst. He has asked, and then answered, some very important questions: What if technology enabled impact, stronger relationships, and personal growth? What if success was measured more by the quality of what one creates rather than how much money one makes? What if companies were built to cultivate rather than exploit the planet and the people living on it? What if purpose-driven, human-centered work was not a nice-to-have but, for everyone, a must-have? Welcome to the Purpose Economy. Hurst, globally recognized as a top social entrepreneur, explains that the progression of economies, from agrarian to industrial to information, has not stopped. What will be next? Hurst says, “I look across every industry, and the post-information-economy changes we see are about increasing purpose for people and having deeper, more meaningful relationships.”
