Hi! I’m Dan, the creator of this site, the Meaning Movement. I do most of the writing, with a little help now and then from a few friends.
You can read more about me here.
First and foremost, I want to say thanks for stopping by! It’s a treat to have you here.
What is the Meaning Movement about?
The Meaning Movement is a community of people pursuing deeper meaning in work. There are many ways we can talk about it: calling, vocation, passion, living the life you were meant to live, being your true self, etc. I use many of these words, but I’m less interested in the words we use and more interested in helping you dig into these meaningful places.
What the Meaning Movement is not about:
I won’t be writing about resumes, interview skills, or the latest and greatest money making opportunity. There’s nothing wrong with those things; I’m just not interested in them.
Who is this for?
This site is for anyone who fits any of the following descriptions:
- You are asking the question, “What should I do with my life?”
- You want a deeper connection to what you do.
- You feel stuck.
- You are afraid you’ve missed out on your true calling.
- You need to make a change but don’t know what.
- You want to be more creative.

- You have lots of good ideas but don’t know what to do with them.
