About Purpose on Fire

Purpose on Fire is a 501(c)3 non profit organization that exists to enable people who have discovered their purpose unleash its potential, and meaningfully launch it into the world.  We are governed by the conviction that everyone wins when people discover and live their purpose, and that the effort and search involved in seeking purpose is vital to living to our fullest, one precious life.  

Dr. Alise Cortez ([hyperlink to www.alisecortez.com ) founded Purpose on Fire in response to some urgent awakenings she encountered while out speaking to audiences on cultivating meaning, passion, inspiration, and purpose in their lives. Many audience participants became excited and motivated about the possibilities of their lives in her talks, while others literally caught fire with the urgency and excitement of realizing their purpose. Alise came to see that, absent support, guidance, education, and consulting, many of the people who caught fire would return from the talk to their regular lives and be completely swept up in the everyday pace of life, snuffing out their dream and relinquishing their purpose. She could not let that happen.

Knowing the power of purpose in our lives to anchor us, give us courage and confidence to pursue our dreams and purpose, energy to see the work through, and an uncanny ability to handle the accompanying stress well, Alise was determined to use her talents, past experience, and her network while channeling her own purpose to help others realize and live theirs. Thus, Purpose on Fire was born in December 2018.
