The Meaning Project

The Meaning Project sits at the intersection of mental health and meaning—where insight turns into action. Hosted by Dr. Daniel A. Franz—speaker, consultant, and psychotherapist—this podcast explores the ideas that actually move your life forward. Drawing from logotherapy and existential analysis (the psychology of meaning), Dr. Dan breaks down mental health, personal growth, and organizational well-being in a way that’s practical, direct, and real. No fluff. No over-editing. No endless analysis. Just focused, actionable conversations designed to help you navigate the tension between who you are and who you’re becoming—so you can live and lead with greater purpose.
