Cory sits down with two renowned purpose researchers to talk about what purpose is, how you can cultivate it, how they started studying purpose, whether or not purpose is related to social class, and so much more.

Dr. Pat Hill is an associate professor in Psychological and Brain Sciences at Washington University in St. Louis. He got his BA in Psychology and Economics at Indiana University, and his PhD at the University of Notre Dame.

Dr. Tony Burrow is the Ferris Family Associate Professor of Life Course Studies in the Department of Psychology at Cornell University, director of the Bronfenbrenner Center for Translational Research, and Associate Dean for Outreach and Extension in the College of Human Ecology. He also serve as Provost's Fellow for Public Engagement, and he directs the Purpose and Identity Processes Laboratory. He received his B.A. in Psychology from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and his Ph.D. in Applied Developmental Psychology from Florida International University. He received his postdoctoral training within the Multicultural Research Institute at the University of Notre Dame. He is also director of PRYDE (the Program for Research on Youth Development and Engagement).
