People = Purpose (Topic: Leadership, Personal & Professional Development)

People aren’t distractions—they’re our purpose.

In this episode of The Mason Duchatschek Show, I speak with Christian Espinosa, author of The In-Between: Life in the Micro, about something we’re all guilty of—wearing “blinders” to stay focused, only to miss what matters most.

Christian shares a powerful story that reminds us: if people around you are hurting—emotionally, mentally, spiritually, or otherwise—do you notice? Or are you too busy chasing goals to see the signs?

This conversation is a wake-up call for leaders, managers, and professionals who want to build not only better businesses, but stronger human connections.

Key Takeaways

✅ Presence is leadership’s superpower
✅ People aren’t interruptions—they’re opportunities
✅ Slowing down helps you spot what others miss
✅ Empathy matters more than efficiency
✅ Leadership means noticing what others overlook

About Our Company

Alchemy was the medieval forerunner of chemistry, based on the supposed transformation of matter. It was concerned with attempts to convert base metals (like lead) into gold. WORKFORCE ALCHEMY is kind of like that—except with people and businesses.

We provide various skill, attitude, and personality-based psychometric assessment tools and training to help employers with employee selection, engagement, and retention.
