Many people follow a path that doesn't align with their dreams, scared to pivot because of their age. But are you ever too old to do the thing?

I turned to Carey Rouse—Founder of Rouse Fit—to learn why he changed paths at the age of 51 after a successful 25-year career. Technology consulting paid the bills, but it wasn't his true passion. An itch to compete and push himself drove Carey to launch a health and fitness company serving serious athletes. But did he start his entrepreneurial journey too late in life, or is age just a number?

Here's how Carey built a successful business in health and fitness, motivating others to reach their goals.

Inside our Do The Thing Singles community, we did a Kick off meeting for a book club that Natalie Hager stepped up to run on the book Attached. This has been edited to keep personal info private.

Everyone has different attachment styles. And they can make or break a relationship. But how can you discover your attachment style as you set out to do the thing?

Welcome to the Do The Thing Book Club kick-off! Listen in as Natalie Hager, Dr. Nancy DeAndrade and I discuss the importance of knowing your attachment style. After getting divorced, Natalie packed up and started her life over. But she was still holding onto mental baggage from that marriage. Reading Attached helped her identify her attachment style and take control of her life and future relationships.

Here's why Natalie stepped up to create a Do The Thing Book Club to share Attached with the community. 

Entrepreneurs solve problems. But too many solutions never come to fruition because of hesitation and fear. What if you followed that spark and just did the thing?

I got personal with Evan Van Auken—CEO and Founder of Scorch Marker. He's also the Owner of Vanader, where he teaches business and e-commerce setup. Following a family tradition, Evan became a firefighter. He was good at his job and had no intention of leaving after 10 years. However, after ruining a wood-burned comparative plaque with a red-hot soldering iron, Evan devised an easier, fool-proof wood-burning method. But would his lack of artistic skills hold him back?

Here's why Evan left firefighting to launch an innovative wood-burning business in the crafting industry.

Everything around us is fast-paced. While exciting, it's easy to miss the importance of genuinely listening when engaging in conversations. How can we foster better communication and build stronger connections?

In this episode, I sat down with Kate Middleton—Somatic Therapist and Authentic Relating Facilitator—to learn the answer. Deep listening is more than just "listening more." It involves not only tuning into the words spoken but also the tone, expressions, and gestures of the person speaking. What other doors can deep listening open?

Kate explains how to make active listening work for you by exploring somatic therapies and transforming your conversations.

"Regular" jobs aren't for everyone. Some people feel trapped working for others and are called to do something bigger. Imagine the possibilities if you finally embarked on an entrepreneurial journey.

Today, I spoke with Kate Erickson to learn why she became an entrepreneur. During her early days in the corporate world, Kate realized she was on the wrong path. Her job wasn't challenging or inspiring, and she dreaded going to the office. After realizing no one would save her, Kate overcame fear to create change for herself. But would this leap of faith into entrepreneurship help her achieve her wildest dreams?

Here's why Kate ditched the traditional route, became an entrepreneur, and what she learned along the way.

The more you move, the more you grow. And you don't have to take giant steps. Inching along is always better than nothing.

We flipped the tables today and had Adam Webber of CallCast interview me! When I first started Do The Thing, I had a few ideas in mind. But as the Do The Thing Formula revealed itself, so did my true passion—this podcast. Now, I want to encourage you to get curious, take a few steps forward, and start your own podcast.
