Today I’m celebrating 5 years of retirement after spending 40 years with the USAF (active duty and civil service).
That’s four decades of:
Surviving death-by-PowerPoint.
Deciphering enough acronyms to create a new language.
Of watching the Air Force, and the world, evolve.
Retirement isn't an ending — it's a new mission. Five years in, I’ve become better at engaging with the world around me and hopefully become a better person.
Throughout my career—from the United States military to decades of project management—I’ve seen how critical resilience is when facing the unexpected. But it’s often in our personal "valleys" where our leadership and faith are truly tested.
In this episode, I join Curt, Dale, and Adam to discuss:
Navigating significant life pivots and "close calls."
Finding purpose and identity beyond a career title.
The importance of community and spiritual grounding during transitions.
We are all "ReDirecting" in some way. I hope my story offers a useful perspective for your own journey.
