E10: Contributor vs. Consumer: Finding Fulfillment Through Purpose I Vision To Victory Podcast
In this episode of Vision to Victory, Luke explores the powerful difference between living life as a contributor versus a consumer. While consumerism asks, “What’s in it for me?”, a contributor asks, “How can I help?” Luke shares why true joy and fulfillment are found at the intersection of your unique gifts and your willingness to use them to serve others. He dives into how investing in yourself—not for validation, but for growth—can position you to make a greater impact in your community and beyond. If you’re feeling stuck, empty, or unmotivated, this episode will help you reframe your purpose and inspire you to live with intention.

Your story is part of a bigger story. You matter, and your contribution has ripple effects beyond what you can see.
Fulfillment comes from contribution. Joy and purpose are rooted in what we give, not what we get.
You are uniquely gifted. Purpose lives where your talents meet the needs of others.
People-pleasing is not the same as contributing. True contribution flows from growth and authenticity, not from obligation.
Develop yourself to better serve others. Investing in your personal growth makes you a stronger, more impactful contributor.
Read and learn from others. Books offer access to lifetimes of wisdom—use them to accelerate your own development.
