Sunrise, Not Sunset: Life After 50 Isn't the Wind-Down
For six years I thought I was running from corporate. Turns out I was chasing the wrong thing.
Welcome to The Time Rich Project. Same host, evolved mission, new name. This is the first episode under it, and I get into why the change and why it matters if corporate has stopped working for you.
Here's the shift: I wasn't escaping corporate. The real unlock was taking back control of my time. Once I had that, everything else opened up.
In this episode:
Why Gen X is at a crossroads (and why it's a bigger opportunity than getting out)
Sunrise, not sunset: you could have 30+ good years ahead, so what do you actually want to do with them?
The four things that decide your happiness: relationships, health, purpose, and fun
Return on hours: how to fund the life you want in the fewest hours possible
Why your first dollar outside corporate is easier to make than they told you
The time-blocking experiment that failed twice before it worked
You don't have to quit corporate to start living better. You do have to get intentional about your time. Corporate isn't the enemy. It's a deal. This show is about going in eyes wide open and deciding for yourself if it's still worth it.
Do what you want, when you want, where you want, with who you want. That's the whole thing. Let's go get it.
