Today marks a major milestone with What is YOUR Calling? — the 100th episode of Mighty Line Minute! Hosted by Dave, this podcast has delivered quick, powerful insights on safety, business, leadership, and life. Whether you're in a factory, a boardroom, a classroom, or just driving home from work, chances are you've tuned in for a burst of practical wisdom wrapped in sincerity and purpose.
For this special episode — Season 2, Episode 46 — Dave didn’t just celebrate the big number. Instead, he used the occasion to reflect on something much deeper, something timeless and incredibly personal: our calling.
So today, we’re diving into the core message of this episode. What does it mean to discover your calling? Why does it matter? And how can we recognize it in ourselves and others? Let’s explore.
In the episode, Dave reflects on a powerful childhood memory. As a young boy, he asked his mother a question that many of us have wrestled with at some point in our lives:
“Why are we here?”
Her answer?
“To make the world a better place.”
Simple. Direct. Profound. This idea became a foundation for Dave’s career and personal mission — and it’s something that resonated deeply in this milestone podcast.
That simple answer holds the key to understanding our calling. Whether it’s through our jobs, our families, our passions, or our service to others, we all have the potential — and perhaps the responsibility — to contribute positively to the world around us.
The Ultimate Sacrifice: A Modern Example of Calling
One of the most moving parts of Episode 100 is Dave’s tribute to Max Jacob Arnett, a 25-year-old from Dover, Ohio, who tragically lost his life fighting in Ukraine on August 23rd, 2025. Max wasn’t a soldier by trade. He was a high school marching band drummer and, more recently, a mid-Ohio police officer who chose to put himself in harm’s way. He did this because he felt a deep, undeniable calling to stand up for justice, democracy, and freedom — even in a country not his own.
Max’s story is heartbreaking, but also awe-inspiring. It’s a stark reminder that a calling isn’t always about comfort or recognition. Sometimes, it’s about sacrifice — about doing what’s right, not what’s easy. In honoring Max, Dave reminds us that those who listen to their calling to do good for the world or for individuals who may be struggling — no matter the scale — can leave lasting impact.
Service Beyond the Paycheck
While most of us aren’t called to a battlefield, Dave points out that callings show up in all kinds of places. Take hospitals, for example. Anyone who’s been in one knows there’s a big difference between someone doing a job and someone living their mission. There are nurses who bring comfort beyond medicine. Doctors who take a few extra minutes to explain. A receptionist who remembers your name. And a safety manager who investigates a workplace accident with diligence and professionalism — while also showing compassion and support to the injured person, their loved ones, and fellow employees.
These aren't just tasks on a to-do list. They're reflections of purpose.
And this applies to so many professions:
A calling doesn’t always wear a uniform — but it always leaves an impression.

Dave also broadens the lens, reminding us that callings aren’t confined to careers. People express their purpose in countless ways:
Sometimes, the person who changes your life doesn’t even know they did. A single kind word. A piece of advice. A listening ear. A smile.
That’s the beauty of a calling — it’s often quiet. It doesn’t shout. But it’s always powerful.
What If I Don’t Know My Calling Yet?
Dave offers encouragement to anyone still figuring it out.
The truth is, not everyone knows their calling right away. Some people feel it early. Others stumble into it after years of trial and error. Some get there through hardship. Others through inspiration.
And that’s okay.
Just because you don’t have a “mission statement” doesn’t mean your work and presence don’t matter. Dave emphasizes that even when your efforts feel unnoticed or underappreciated, you are making a difference.
In small actions, big choices, and everything in between — you are building a better world.
Keep Going — Because What You Do Matters
One of the most powerful lines from this episode is:
“What you do really does matter… not just for today, but for generations to come.”
That’s the kind of wisdom you don’t forget.
In a world filled with noise, division, and discouragement, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. Easy to wonder if our actions really add up to anything.
But they do.
Just as every episode of Mighty Line Minute adds up to a legacy of leadership and insight, your daily choices — in work, family, and community — are laying a foundation that others will build on.
So keep going. Especially when it’s hard. That’s when it matters most.
Congratulations, Dave — And Thank You!

✨ Final Thought: What Is YOUR Calling?
So, let’s bring it back to you — the reader, the listener, the person showing up every day.
What is your calling?
Maybe you already know. Maybe you’re still searching. Either way, remember this:
You matter. Your efforts count. And the world needs what only you can give.
Take a moment today to reflect on what drives you. Listen to that inner voice. And if it tells you to step up, serve others, or make a difference — trust it.
Because your calling might just be the spark that changes everything.
