Reinvention isn’t a midlife crisis—it’s obedience on a deadline.

In this episode, we sit down with a former pastor-turned-operator who rebuilt his life, his leadership, and his livelihood—starting over in his 50s. We talk candidly about failure, forgiveness, and why walking in step with the Holy Spirit beats white-knuckle hustle every time. No polish, no platitudes—just the real story of losing a platform, keeping a marriage, and learning to lead from the bottom again.

We get practical. We unpack a “win the morning, win the day” framework you can run tomorrow: wake early, open Scripture before your phone, journal what God’s saying, name the three needle-movers, move your body, and encourage two people before 10 a.m. We explore servant leadership in the wild—cleaning storage rooms, asking better questions, listening more than we talk—and the gritty humility that attracts mentors, opens rooms, and sustains success.

We also trade notes on shifting from success to significance: raising your leadership lid, paying for coaching when it counts, and choosing character that can actually carry the platform you pray for. If you’ve felt the nudge to pivot—career, business, or habits—this conversation will give you the mindset and mechanics to move.

📌 Key Topics:
✅ How confession, forgiveness, and daily surrender create true momentum
✅ A step-by-step morning playbook to anchor focus and fruitfulness
✅ Servant leadership in practice (and why humility scales)
✅ Communication as a superpower: ask, listen, and earn trust
✅ Finding a mentor (and being one) without the guesswork
✅ Trading “more” for “meaning”: success → significance in work and family

Take one rhythm from this episode, run it tomorrow morning, and lead different this week.
