It’s never too late to discover what you were made for. Kirk McCarley — the Seed Sower Coach — spent more than 35 years as a human resources executive before launching a new chapter helping people find their purpose. At 68, he’s still coaching, writing, working with ESPN, and teaching spinning classes.
In this encouraging conversation, Kirk shares:

- The powerful advice that shifted his perspective
