Creating a Culture of Purpose
At Purpose Maker LLC, we partner with high-achieving leaders and organizations to cultivate a Culture of Purpose—the profound "way we lead and operate here," rooted in shared values, authentic convictions, and purposeful behaviors that propel teams toward lasting impact. In today's hyper-competitive landscape, where strategies and innovations are endlessly replicated, it's your culture of purpose that becomes the ultimate differentiator: a force that aligns every action with a higher calling, turning good organizations into legacy-defining movements.
Drawing from timeless wisdom and frontline transformations, we champion Purpose-Driven Leadership, a relational, conviction-centered approach that empowers leaders to serve the true needs of their people—not fleeting desires—while forging unbreakable trust. This isn't about commanding compliance; it's about igniting voluntary commitment and extraordinary effort through influence, clarity, and shared purpose. Purpose Makers are high-integrity people and leaders who rally stakeholders around a singular "why," transforming potential into profound, multiplied outcomes.
Our flagship program, Creating a Culture of Purpose, is an immersive six-month journey of Igniting Leaders & Forging Shared Purpose—designed exclusively for visionary executives, founders, and teams ready to transcend success and step into significance.
Igniting Leaders: The Purpose Alignment Cycle
We guide you through a deliberate, iterative process to embed purpose at the core of your leadership:
- Foundation: Anchor your vision by defining and declaring your non-negotiable Purpose—the bold, legacy-defining "why" that clarifies every decision, from hires to high-stakes pivots. This phase ignites continuous learning, ensuring your leadership evolves in lockstep with your calling.
- Feedback: Surface the unseen gaps between your current reality and your purpose potential through honest, 360-degree insights and real-time inputs. We uncover what's misaligned—habits, structures, or mindsets—and illuminate the path to deeper fulfillment.
- Friction: Drive transformation by closing those gaps with targeted action and rigorous measurement. Expect the heat of change: redesigned rhythms, empowered teams, and accountability that turns purpose into measurable momentum, yielding 10x impact without burnout.
Forging Shared Purpose: The Bonds That Bind
Purpose thrives in community. We build the relational infrastructure to sustain it:
- Setting the Rules of the House: Co-create a Purpose Covenant—your organization's sacred operating principles—that translates individual callings into collective rhythms, ensuring every role, ritual, and resource serves the greater mission.
- Monitoring & Enforcing the Rules of the House: Embed accountability mechanisms that celebrate alignment and compassionately course-correct drift, fostering a self-reinforcing ecosystem where purpose isn't aspirational—it's operational.
- Developing Bonds & Emotional Connections: Cultivate vulnerability, empathy, and shared stories to deepen trust and belonging. From executive retreats to daily huddles, we create spaces where leaders and teams connect not just professionally, but as co-conspirators in a life-altering legacy.
The Outcomes: From High Performance to High Purpose
Organizations that embrace a Culture of Purpose don't just outperform—they redefine what's possible. Expect:
- Clarity and Conviction: Leaders who lead with unshakable focus, making "yes" and "no" decisions effortless and inspiring teams to bring their full selves to the work.
- Multiplied Impact: Cultures where discretionary effort flows naturally, driving innovation, retention, and results that ripple across generations—without the exhaustion of endless hustle.
- Enduring Legacy: A self-sustaining framework that outlives any one leader, turning your enterprise into a force for good that compounds wealth, wisdom, and world-changing contributions.
Born from Dr. MJ Wegmann's (Coach MJ / Brother Michael) transformative work in Veteran suicide prevention—where reconnecting over 6,000 warriors to their purpose didn't just save lives, but reignited purpose—we've refined this approach for the boardrooms, arenas, and ventures of today's elite performers. We teach Servant Leadership.
If you're a C-suite trailblazer, a scaling founder, or a peak influencer sensing there's more to your story, a Culture of Purpose is your next evolution.

Generational Consulting
Transferring Wealth, Wisdom, and Worth That Lasts.
Most family-business transfers fail not because of bad taxes or poor legal structures, but because the Purpose that built the enterprise in the first place never gets intentionally transferred. Statistics show 70% of Gen 1 to Gen 2 business transfer fail. We are here to change that for you.
Money moves. Power shifts. But without a living, shared Purpose, the next generation inherits a job—not a calling—and the legacy slowly erodes.
At Purpose Maker LLC, we specialize in Purpose-First Generational Transitions, ensuring that when the keys are handed over (whether through outright sale, gradual transfer, internal succession, or private-equity partnership), the business doesn’t just survive—it multiplies in meaning and magnitude for decades.
How the Purpose Maker Method Works in Generational Consulting
- Excavate the Founder’s Original Fire We begin with the Gen-1 leader(s), distilling the deeper “why” behind every sacrifice, risk, and breakthrough that built the company. This is rarely the mission statement on the wall—it’s the unspoken conviction that got you out of bed during the darkest years.
- Translate (Don’t Just Transfer) That Purpose We facilitate guided, emotionally safe, but unflinchingly honest conversations between-generation dialogues so Gen 2 (or Gen 3) can wrestle with, personalize, and ultimately own the purpose in their own voice—not as heirs, but as the next Purpose Makers.
- Re-Architect the Operating System Around the Renewed Purpose
- Governance (family council, board structure, voting rights)
- Wealth structure (trusts, holding companies, liquidity events)
- Leadership roles and accountability
- Philanthropic and impact mandates Everything is redesigned to serve the living Purpose, not preserve the past.
- Create the Legacy Bridge Documents
- A Family & Enterprise Purpose Covenant (signed by all generations)
- 100-Year Vision & Guardrails
- Decision-making filters that make every future choice (hire, acquire, sell, distribute) unmistakably clear
- A “Purpose Continuity Plan” reviewed and refreshed every 3–5 years
- Prepare for Every Exit Scenario—While Staying Purpose-Aligned Whether the outcome is:
- Full internal succession
- Partial or full sale to private equity or strategic buyer
- Hybrid model with family liquidity + continued stewardship …we ensure the financial transaction amplifies the Purpose instead of compromising it. Our clients routinely command premium valuations because buyers can see—and feel—an unbreakable culture that will outlast the founder.
Proven Outcomes from Purpose-First Transitions
- 90+% next-generation retention and engagement (vs. industry average <30%)
- Successful transfers completed 12–24 months faster with dramatically less family conflict
- Sale multiples 1–3 turns higher when a clearly articulated, lived Purpose is part of the investment thesis
- Families who finish the process describe it as “the most meaningful chapter of our lives together”
If you are a Gen-1 founder or wealth creator staring at a 5–10 years until your next chapter, and you want the empire you bled for to become a multi-generational movement instead of a cautionary tale…
Purpose Maker’s Generational Consulting is the difference between leaving an inheritance and igniting a dynasty of purpose.
Let’s ensure your life’s work doesn’t just change hands—it changes the world, again and again, for the next hundred years.
