What happens when you realize the success you’ve been chasing isn’t the fulfillment you’ve been longing for? In this conversation, Adam Landrum sits down with Andrew Gissel — a high-achieving professional who walked away from a predictable path to build a life and business that align with his purpose.
Together, they explore:
- How to know when it’s time to make a change.
- Why success without fulfillment feels empty.
- The fears that hold men back from pursuing purpose.
- Practical steps to move from corporate achievement to meaningful impact.
This episode is for the man in the second half of life who knows he’s made it — but still feels something’s missing.
