About the Passion Struck Podcast
Passion Struck with John R. Miles is the number one alternative health podcast exploring the deepest questions of human flourishing — how we think, how we feel, how we connect, and how we build lives that don’t quietly hollow us out from the inside.
With over 85 million downloads, a Gold Stevie Award, and a Gold Davey Award for social impact, the show has earned its place as one of the most trusted voices in personal growth — not by offering easy answers, but by asking better questions.
Hosted by Navy combat veteran and former Fortune 50 executive John R. Miles, Passion Struck provides a rigorous blueprint for moving from the scaffolding of success to a life of genuine significance.
