You've already gotten good answers from others but, for the sake of one
more option, you could also accomplish this with `cl-loop' (which, of
course, some love and some hate).
It would end up looking something like:
(cl-loop for item in list
thereis (your-predicate item))
If the predicate would be `(not (null item))', you can drop it entirely
(as you would expect):
(cl-loop for item in list thereis item)
