	Description:		Not everyone feels finished when their career ends, especially people who are wired to build. This week, I'm joined by Randy Gage, an entrepreneur, author, and speaker who retired at 40 and realized he wasn't done creating. Stepping away from work didn't bring the sense of completion he expected, so he returned to building businesses, writing, and teaching. Not because he had to, but because he wasn't done. That instinct to question what comes next started much earlier. At 15, Randy was sitting in a jail cell, facing the consequences of a life that had gone off track. That moment forced him to rethink his direction, and he's been asking those same questions about what comes next ever since. We talked about: How a stint in jail at 15 forced Randy to rethink his life Why early beliefs shape how we think about money, relationships, and health What Randy learned after retiring at 40 (and why he went back to work) The difference between a finite game and a life built around purpose How Randy defines prosperity beyond money What it means to age with intention and resilience Resources: https://www.randygage.com Breakthrough U Randy on X Randy on LinkedIn
