Doug Fleener woke up on an airplane with no idea how he got there. That was the moment his life began to change.

Today, Doug shares the story of hitting bottom and rebuilding his life one decision at a time. He reflects on addiction, recovery, and the importance of learning how to pause before reacting.

Today, Doug is an author and speaker whose work centers on a simple but powerful question: What if? We talk about how that question creates space for perspective and action, especially during major life transitions.

We discuss:

The moment Doug realized his life needed to change

Why hitting bottom didn't immediately lead to transformation

How asking one simple question interrupts old patterns

The role of identity and routine during life after career

Why action matters more than insight alone

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
