Lessons in Gratitude and Purpose: A Reflection on Tim Tillman’s Story

Greg and Chad sit down to reflect on Chad’s previous conversation with Tim Tillman and the lessons that continue to ripple out from his story. Tim’s approach to retirement wasn’t just about building financial independence—it was about creating a life filled with gratitude, purpose, and impact.

In this debrief, Greg and Chad share what stood out most, including the reminder that we don’t need to wait for a tragedy to wake us up. People will always say it’s not a good time, but important choices are rarely easy in the short term. Tim’s story is a challenge to act now, to live intentionally today, and to think about how our decisions affect future generations.

They also revisit the way Tim made gratitude a daily practice, the influence he and his wife continue to have, and how habits—both financial and personal—create a ripple effect that stretches far beyond ourselves. His story is a reminder that what we do here echoes into eternity.

This reflection isn’t just about retirement. It’s about living with purpose, building habits that matter, and recognizing the impact of small, consistent choices.
