Purpose Guide
About
Brody Hartman, founder of SoulTrue, a certified Purpose Guide, creative catalyst, and strategist.
Weaving together his diverse experiences, Brody focuses his passion on guiding businesses, organizations, and individuals to discover their true purpose and positively impact the world.
With over 25 years of experience as a trusted strategist and creative catalyst, Brody has helped diverse organizations and iconic brands articulate their vision, mission, and values while making a meaningful impact through purpose-driven business and branding.
He’s led projects for Fortune 500 clients, founder-led companies, and global non-profits ranging from the International Museum of Women, Whole Foods, Ben & Jerry’s, International Child Resource Institute, Safeway, and Traditional Medicinals.
Brody has been involved in diverse creative pursuits, from designing and teaching a graduate program exploring purpose and social change to co-authoring a children's book book about wisdom featuring contributors like Tom Hanks and Jane Goodall. For the past eight years, he’s also been nurturing a two-acre pocket farm in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina alongside his wife, Meggan, and their two children.
In this second half of life, Brody has found his calling – embracing life’s interconnectedness and bringing a sense of wholeness into the business world that many find missing. He now wants to be of service, to connect, build, and help people find and fulfill their unique calling. In doing so, each person and organization can contribute their gifts to creating a more conscious, compassionate, and regenerative world.
Eternally hopeful, I believe we have what we need to meet this precarious moment of accelerated change. Imagination. Ingenuity. A unique calling. Love’s wellspring of healing power. Hope. Each other.
Operating from a conviction that discovering one's life purpose is like an artist’s or poet's creative process, Brody helps clients tap into their vulnerability, curiosity, artistry, playfulness, intuition, and courage. He sees imagination as one of the most potent catalysts for growth and transformation.
As a certified Purpose Guide™ and adjunct faculty at the Purpose Guides Institute, he has the privilege of guiding and mentoring individuals worldwide. He guides business leaders, change agents, coaches, artists, creatives, parents, and solo practitioners on profound journeys of self-discovery, enabling them to uncover how to authentically serve life with their unique talents and calling.
Brody also trained with Angeles Arrien in The Four-Fold Way Cross-Cultural Leadership program and draws on a 20+ year Zen and Vipassana Buddhism meditation practice.
