450: Life Beyond Business - Why I’m Taking a (Hopefully) Life-Changing Trip to Africa

In this episode, I open up about my decision to travel to Uganda—a trip that’s less about adventure and more about reconnecting with what truly matters. After more than a decade in an industry that glorifies success and appearances, I’ve found myself searching for deeper meaning and alignment in life and work. This journey represents a step away from “life as usual” and into the unknown.  Why a decade of success left me craving something deeper—and how I’m answering that call. The surprising lesson marketing has taught me about truth, appearances, and connection. What it means to step outside the familiar and embrace the courage to feel again. How personal growth and outgrowing work can lead to greater alignment and purpose. A powerful question for you: What’s calling you to reconnect with your life’s deeper meaning?
