Ep 148 The Knock That Changed Everything: Overcoming Fear, Burnout, and Starting Over Midlife
Considering a midlife career change or searching for more purpose, money, and freedom?
This episode reveals what it really takes to reinvent your life—and push through fear to do it.
After a life-changing sailing sabbatical, one man (who also hosts this podcast) returns to his cubicle… and knows he can’t stay. What follows is a raw journey into door-to-door sales, where rejection, doubt, and discomfort forge something deeper: confidence, clarity, and purpose.
We unpack the breaking points, the unexpected rewards, and a wild final chapter that somehow blends a summer theatre and a sales office into one life.
A conversation about courage, reinvention—and what’s waiting on the other side of the knock.
