A Wake-Up Call at 51 with Howard Rosenberg

Category: Education

Description:

Howard Rosenberg had done what many of us were taught to do. He got an education, built a career, and provided for his family. From the outside, it checked every box.

But in his early fifties, a diagnosis of advanced heart disease and emergency quintuple bypass surgery forced him to slow down and take a hard look at the life he had built.

That wake-up call led Howard to begin asking deeper questions about identity, purpose, creativity… and what really sustains us in the second half of life.

We talked about:

How a health wake-up call led to a complete identity shift

Why the way we finish the sentence "I am…" matters

The difference between external success and internal fulfillment

How creativity extends far beyond art

What it really means to consciously create your next chapter
