Why I Turned My Career Inside Out and Came Out the Other Side Smiling

After decades of helping companies untangle complexity, I finally turned the tools inward. Strategy sessions. Root cause analysis. KPI dashboards. But this time, the client wasn’t Volvo or a mining giant—it was me.

This blog marks the launch of a new chapter. Not just professionally, but personally. I spent years optimizing supply chains, rebuilding divisions, rescuing failing projects. The ROI was clear. The KPIs were measurable. But somewhere along the way, I forgot to run the same kind of audit on my own life.

Until I did.

I asked myself the hard questions: What do I want to wake up for? What am I still trying to control that I can’t? What inputs actually nourish me?

This blog is for people who aren’t ready to retire in the traditional sense. For those who have wisdom to share, stories to tell, and a desire to live deliberately. It’s for the curious, the self-reflective, the ones who have been through enough cycles to know that hustle without clarity is just noise.

Here, I’ll share what I’ve learned—about career pivots, midlife clarity, personal health, purpose, and the strange gift of starting over when most people expect you to wind down. I’ll talk about what it means to become the curator of your own inputs.

Because control isn’t just about reacting well. It’s about preparing your system in advance.

Let’s figure it out together.

Welcome to the other side.
