Have you ever thought, "I can't do this for another 10-20 years," but you have no idea what comes next?Or maybe you've been laid off after a long career and you're quietly wondering, "Am I too old to start over?" In this episode, Todd and Chris sit down with Brian Trembley, an engineer who spent nearly 30 years designing high-stakes medical devices for brain and spinal surgery. After more than 20 years with the same company, a wave of layoffs forced him out of a role that had once felt like a calling-and dropped him into a full-blown midlife ReInvention.

Brian shares how he moved from:

• Feeling burned out, misaligned, and as if the "dream machine" inside him had died
• Getting laid off and refusing to "play it safe" by taking another misaligned job
• To "betting on Brian" and launching his own consulting business and other creative projects

You'll hear:

• The subtle signs your career is out of alignment (before the burnout and layoffs hit)
• How to tell the difference between 'productive discomfort' and pure fear
• Why community, coaching, and asking for help can fast-track reinvention
• How to use your experience and network to create a portfolio career in midlife
• What it really looks like to surrender control and still move forward

If you're a midlife professional wondering what's next-and whether it's too late to change-Brian's story is proof that you can redesign your life and career around who you are now, not who you used to be.
