My journey began on a well-trodden path towards a predictable future, but life had other plans. In the wake of unexpected job losses and a personal crisis of values, I was forced to confront the life I was 'supposed to' live, versus the life that felt authentically mine. Join me as we embark on a voyage through the highs and lows of forging a life that rings true to one's inner calling. I dive deep into my transformation from a Marine Corps identity to an awakened spirit, challenging societal norms about retirement, security, and success. It's a candid account of self-discovery and the rebirth of one's belief system after life throws a curveball.
Ever felt like you were living someone else's dream? This episode peels back the layers of that illusion, revealing the beauty of embracing a life path that's uniquely yours. I unfold the narrative of Corey from "The Imposter in Charge," showing the pitfalls of hustle culture when it doesn't align with who we are. You'll hear about the life-altering workshop with Angie that prompted us to envision our ideal lives, a process that brought me face-to-face with the value of solitude, stillness, and personal contentment. This conversation is an invitation to break free from external pressures and discover a way of living that truly resonates with your soul.
The finale of our exploration is a blueprint for designing a life of impact and fulfillment. I reveal how my wife Angie and I have crafted a relationship and a business that honors our individual needs while allowing us to thrive together. Sharing insights from Inner Wealth Global, we show how a business can be more than a means to an end—it can be an extension of one's passion and purpose. Whether you're navigating life's crossroads or simply seeking a spark of inspiration, this episode is a guide to aligning your external life with your deepest desires, and I'm here to walk you through every step of the way.
