Voices of Purpose

Exploring Leadership, Championing Values, and Inspiring Change

A Podcast with Marymount University President Irma Becerra

Voices of Purpose is a bold new monthly podcast hosted by President Irma Becerra that spotlights transformative conversations with influential leaders from business, government, education, and beyond. Each episode explores the timeless values that shape ethical leadership and inspire positive change in our world.

Guided by the principles of Winston Churchill and grounded in Marymount’s mission to educate principled, globally minded changemakers, Voices of Purpose invites listeners into the minds of those who lead with vision, courage, and integrity.

“Courage is rightly esteemed the first of human qualities…because it is the quality which guarantees all others.”—Winston Churchill

Each conversation is grounded in Churchill-inspired values, principles as vital today as ever:

• Liberty and Democracy:
  Defending freedom and democratic governance in the face of polarization and authoritarianism. 
• Global Leadership:
  Examining international partnerships and global responsibility through diplomacy, education, and innovation. 
• Moral Courage:
  Uplifting leaders who made bold decisions under pressure or broke with convention to uphold justice and truth. 
• Cultural Heritage and Civic Engagement:
  Honoring shared histories, traditions, and educational institutions that preserve human dignity and values. 
• Free Enterprise and Innovation:
  Showcasing individuals and ideas advancing economic liberty, entrepreneurship, and sustainable prosperity.
