As we move into the later chapters of life, many of us begin to think differently about health. Not just how long we'll live, but how well we'll live. What if the symptoms we accept as "normal aging" are actually signals pointing to something deeper?

In this episode, I'm joined by Reed Davis, a double board-certified holistic health practitioner and founder of Functional Diagnostic Nutrition. Reed helps people understand what's really happening inside their bodies by looking beyond standard lab work and surface-level symptoms.

In this episode, we discuss:

Why standard blood work often misses early warning signs

The difference between treating symptoms and addressing root causes

How stress, diet, and lifestyle quietly shape long-term health

What aging well really requires beyond diet and exercise

Why having purpose may be one of the most overlooked health factors

Why is it often easier to know what we don't want than to ask for what we do?

In this episode, I'm joined by Paul Quinn, author of The Big Ask: Unlock the Possibilities in Your Work Life and Dreams with Courageous Requests. Paul began his career as an actor before moving into corporate training and writing, where he became fascinated by the moments that spark real change.

Today, we explore how identity, fear, and unspoken rules shape the choices we make. Paul also shares stories that show how a single, well-timed question can open doors we didn't know were there.

You'll hear about:

How asking the right questions can help you reconnect with what you actually want

Why redefining identity after work can feel so disorienting

The trap of focusing on what we don't want (instead of naming what we do)

How fear and perfectionism can limit what you're willing to try

A simple question that can shift how we imagine what comes next

Many men feel caught between the identity they built at work and the person they hope to become. Today's guest helps us explore that space.

Doug O'Brien has spent his career studying how our stories shape the way we live and the way we move through change. Before entering this work, Doug lived an entirely different life as a classical pianist, a Carnegie Hall performer, and a punk rock musician in New York City.

Over time, he shifted into teaching and storytelling in a way that opened a new path for him. In this conversation, Doug shares how the stories we hold can keep us stuck and how new ones can help us move into the next chapter.

We talk about:

• How Doug transitioned from a life in music to helping people change
  
  

• The moment that shifted how he viewed what is possible
  
  

• Why career identity becomes so difficult for many men to release
  
  

• The simple question that reveals who we are beneath our titles
  
  

• How storytelling helps reshape belief and create room for what comes next
