    Jeff Standrige reveals the steps to transform your job into a meaningful calling, so you can find more fulfillment beyond collecting a paycheck. Discover the simple steps to turn your career into a purpose-driven journey, balancing success with true personal impact.


    In this episode of The Business Growth Architect Show, I speak with Jeff Standrige, Managing Director at Innovation Junkie, about how to transform your work into a meaningful calling. Jeff opens up about his “crisis of calling,” that pivotal moment when he realized that professional success didn’t equal personal fulfillment. Instead of abandoning his career, he used it as a foundation to drive impact, a choice that ultimately reshaped how he viewed his work. This is powerful if you feel that your job is a dead end and you are looking for more fulfillment at work.


    In our interview, Jeff and I break down his six essential pillars for building a culture of excellence—elements that foster clarity, accountability, and genuine connection across any organization. Here are the first three, you’ll find all six in the interview.


    1. Strong Leadership – Every culture of excellence begins with committed leadership. Jeff emphasizes the need for leaders to embody the mission and values of the organization, demonstrating by example how to balance results with relationships, fostering a sense of trust and integrity across the team.


    2. Absolute Clarity and Focus – Jeff discusses how clarity around an organization’s mission, vision, and goals aligns every individual’s work with the broader company strategy. When team members understand how their day-to-day contributions support a larger purpose, it drives collective motivation and purpose.


    3. Engaged and Committed Teammates – An essential element of any successful culture, Jeff emphasizes the importance of fostering a team that is not only skilled but also genuinely committed to the organization’s mission. Clear roles and responsibilities allow teammates to bring their best selves to work, knowing exactly how they contribute to the team’s success.


    For anyone questioning their work’s purpose or looking to lead with intention, this conversation digs into how we can reshape our daily actions to build a fulfilling career. Listen in as Jeff and I discuss the real, practical steps to align your work with your values, so you’re not just clocking in but creating something lasting.
