Published: Aug. 31, 2015, midnight

b'Devin Thorpe is a man who has a path similar to so many people in the world and certainly many of the guests of Join Up Dots. He was on a path, that had been created out of study, education and hard work, leading him to perform as he says "The best job he\\u2019d ever had\\u2014as the Chief Financial Officer of the multinational food and beverage company MonaVie" until they let him go. And upon those words "Sorry we don\'t require your services anymore" his life it seems became what truly it should have been at the beginning. He and his wife ended up living in China for a year where he wrote "Your Mark On The World" and embarked on the career he\\u2019d always wanted yet hadn\\u2019t dared dream.

The places where his heart, brain, enthusiasms, all come together and he wakes up excited every morning. And now\\xa0he is\\xa0an author, advisor and Forbes contributor, and is a\\xa0devoted full time to championing social good, writing about, advocating for and advising those who do good. He travels extensively, sharing inspiring messages as a keynote speaker,\\xa0and trainer. So have the dots joined up naturally for him, or does he feel that he is now just starting the journey that is truly his?

Well we are going to find out later, as\\xa0we bring onto the show to start joining up dots with the one and only Devin Thorpe'
