When Success Feels Wrong: Living with Purpose & Alignment | John Salzwedel
Description
John Sazwedel is a coach, speaker, and author of Stop Living Life on the Table. After nearly 30 years in the insurance industry, he reached a point many people quietly experience — everything looked successful on the outside, but something internally felt off.
That realization led him to explore deeper questions about purpose, responsibility, and what it truly means to live intentionally. Today, John helps people cut through mental noise, reconnect with what matters, and take clear, honest steps toward a life that actually fits who they are.
In this thoughtful conversation, John shares:
- When he first noticed the misalignment
- Why so many people ignore that quiet inner discomfort
- Balancing responsibilities with authentic living
- The freedom that comes from clarity on what truly matters
- How to start shifting without abandoning real-life obligations
- Practical insights on living more intentionally
If you’re in your 20s (or beyond) feeling successful on paper but unsettled inside, this episode offers grounded wisdom and a path toward greater alignment.
