Have you ever wondered how different your life could be in a year if there were no sunk costs to taking a bet on yourself? One year ago, Lon Stroschein started writing his book. This podcast was recorded in the recording studio in the moments before he started narrating his book, The Trade, for Audible. This is a conversation with his partner in Normal 40 Publishing, Jeremy Brown. In this podcast, you'll get to hear about the incredible journey of creating and publishing 'The Trade' and experience how it started changing lives before it was committed to paper. This episode serves as a powerful reminder that we should never underestimate the power we have to change our lives in a single year. This episode takes a closer look at the power of conversations in transformation and the formation and purpose of a book, and how it came together behind the scenes. You'll hear about the significance of asking the right questions and discovering the potential of our own voice, and how the mindset of a warrior can be used to create something extraordinary, and how our experiences can either use us or be used to help others. Finally, you'll be inspired by the journey of taking a pause in life to reflect and make changes. This episode is all about impacting lives, inspiring change, and making your dreams a reality. Join us for this incredible adventure.

The Evolution of a Dream - From Idea to #1 Bestselling Author

I left the rat race while at the top. I was making the most I had ever made, and I was offered a promotion. But I was tired of the travel. The work no longer inspired me. I was sick of answering emails all night and while on vacation. It was what I chased, but I felt trapped - like it was impossible to leave - because I was the provider. I went to bed most nights with a pit in my gut, hoping that one day I would wake up and take back my life - before my kids had grown and moved out. So, I resigned. No plans. No resume. No guarantees. Just me - and it has been fantastic! When I left, thousands of people wanted to know how I did it, how I knew it was my time. How I knew I had enough. How I worked this out with my family. It wasn't until I left that I realized what I felt was normal. I realized it happens to most high-achievers. And I realized I wasn't alone, but that nobody was leading these leaders. That's when I created Normal 40 - a movement chartered to help people regain control over their lives - a place where you don't have to do this alone. This podcast tells the stories of those who have done it, those who are doing it, and those who hope to someday have the balls to start. This podcast is your story, and you're not alone. My mission is to inspire a thousand people to write their second-half story -- and live it. My metrics will be a thousand notes of thanks from people who have made "The Trade" and will never look back with regret. That’s what’s in me. That's my mission. That's why I'm here. This is the shit nobody talks about. This is the Normal 40. Lets Ramble!
