What if wanting something different at 50 isn’t a midlife crisis?
Maybe it’s a midlife awakening.
In the first episode of The Intentional Next Act, I’m talking about why I no longer believe leaving corporate should be the goal, why your 9-to-5 might actually be one of your greatest assets, and why changing your mind about what comes next is not failure.
