The Endurance Summit is an annual event held in Minneapolis, Minnesota, that stems from our commitment to bring people together for shared learning. The theme for the 2021 Endurance Summit was “Persisting with Purpose.” Together, we explored the power of purpose in multiple ways—and how purpose applies to life, business, and investments. Watch the session segments below.
