After leaving the military, Steven quickly climbed the corporate ladder, building a solid business reputation across Europe…
He even wrote a bestselling book about his experience at war.
But even with all of that external success, he still felt lost. After reaching a breaking point, Steven spent eight months at a monastery, rediscovered his identity, and created his purpose and meaning from the inside out.
He now consults with some of the biggest brands in the world on company culture and growth strategy.
In this episode, Steven Eugene Kuhn reflects on his humble, small-town, beginning to working with huge brands, celebrities, and royalty, and all the challenges he faced in-between.

3 Key Points
- Purpose to your life comes from within, and it begins at the identity level. Start the journey of self-discovery by asking yourself: Outside of my accomplishments and labels, who am I really?
- You can connect with just about anyone on the planet if you create the space for real conversation. Show up with your full awareness. Set your intent on adding value with your words in every interaction that comes your way.
- ‘Success’ doesn’t need to be defined by wealth or accolades or titles. How do you want to affect the world around you? How do you want to connect with others? What kind of legacy do you want to leave behind?
