I turned 40… and I can’t shake this thought. (March 24th)

About this episode

Tony Taylor reflects on turning 40 and the urgency of making the most of the time left.

I Turned 40… And Realized I’m Running Out of Time For the first time in my life, I realized I probably have more years behind me than I do in front of me. That changes how you look at everything. In this solo episode, I’m not coming to you with answers. I’m coming to you with the questions I’ve been sitting with. What am I doing with the time I have left? Where am I still holding back? And what does it actually mean to live in a way where nothing is left on the table? We move through life like we have time. Like we can start later, say it later, fix it later. But at some point… later starts running out. If you’ve been feeling that pressure… if you know there’s more in you but you’ve been waiting… This episode is for you. 🎧 Listen on all major podcast platforms: https://flowcode.com/p/FIHnpn9a 📺 Full video episodes on YouTube coming soon.
