We all carry moments that shape us sometimes from people we barely know. In this episode, I sat with Douglas James, a former Marine turned Inc. 5000 CEO, who shared a story that stopped me in my tracks. At 21, he witnessed an elderly woman die alone in a hospital ward with no family, no flowers, just him. Her final smile and words, “I lived a long, hard life,” became his lighthouse. Most of us drift through life assuming time is endless until it isn’t. His story cuts through that illusion with a fierce, loving clarity. He’s built a life as a dad, husband, and leader around one truth: you don’t want to die alone. That’s not morbid; it’s a call to connection, to living with integrity now.
