In episode 189 I am "looking back" to episode 25 featuring Kurt Shaver, published August 1, 2022.  In season one of the podcast, this was a "BF to AF" conversation, i.e., before fulfillment to after fulfillment. 

Kurt shares the journey of finding fulfillment in his third career. From corporate tech sales to entrepreneurship and now in a business development role in Sonoma County Tourism, Kurt shares insights that resonate deeply with those seeking fulfillment in midlife through a career transformation.

Here are three key takeaways from my conversation with Kurt.

1️⃣ Soulful Alignment: Kurt found that his third career allows him to be a genuine version of himself at the current stage of his life. He emphasizes the importance of feeling aligned with his interests, passions, and attitude, which allows him to realize an effortless sense of fulfillment.

2️⃣ The Wisdom of Experience: Kurt reminds us that transitioning to a new chapter in midlife doesn't mean starting from scratch. Instead, the skills and experiences gained over a career spanning ten or more years can be invaluable, accelerating success and fulfillment in a new chapter.

3️⃣ Letting Go of Ego: One of Kurt's most compelling points is the significance of not letting your ego get in the way of making a major change in life. His advice serves as a powerful reminder to embrace new opportunities in midlife and not be hindered by self-imposed limitations.

My Takeaway

Kurt's journey serves as a reminder that finding fulfillment in midlife is not only about pursuing new career chapters but also rediscovering the core of who we are. It's about aligning our passions and skills with our present circumstances, allowing us to experience a profound sense of joy and purpose.

Kurt's story inspired many when it was published as episode 25 two years ago. If you missed it in season one, I hope this "look-back" inspires you to consider how Kurt's experience resonates for you in your current life situation.
