When you hit rock bottom in midlife, you face a choice: crumble or rebuild.

In this raw, unfiltered conversation, Brian G. Johnson opens up about the moment his life collapsed — the divorce, the identity crisis, the loneliness, and the painful process of starting over at 50. No intros. No bio. No fluff. We jump straight into the truth.

We talk about:

• What happens when the life you built disappears overnight

• The emotional fallout of divorce after decades together

• Finding yourself again when everything feels unfamiliar

• Creativity as a survival mechanism

• Why reinvention is the real lifelong skill

• What he wishes he could tell his 30-year-old self

• Aging, meaning, curiosity, and building a life you actually want

• The brutal reality of YouTube — and why it’s “simple but hard”

Brian’s story isn’t about business tactics or internet success.
It’s about rebuilding identity, rediscovering purpose, and learning who you are when the old life dies.

If you’re in the middle of your own reset — or feel one coming — this conversation is a compass.

This is RESET with Joel Comm.
It starts with one honest question.
