Episode Details

What if the key to finding purpose after 50 wasn’t about doing more, but about being still? In this soulful conversation, I sit down with Larry Weingarten, author of The Philosopher’s Wrench, to explore how stillness, curiosity, and perspective can transform not only how we work but how we live. Larry’s story — part contractor, part philosopher — reveals how fixing what’s “broken” on the outside often begins with quiet repair on the inside.

Show Notes | Transcript

You’ll hear practical and profound insights on:

• Why stillness is a radical act of self-leadership after 50
• How perspective can turn life’s breakdowns into breakthroughs
• What intentional living really looks like when you stop chasing and start listening

Larry also shares lessons from his cat – namely, what our feline friends understand about life that humans have forgotten.

If you’ve built, led, and served, and now feel called to redefine fulfillment on your own terms, this episode is your invitation to pause, breathe, and come home to yourself.
