In this episode, I sit down with Thom Barrett - author, adventurer, and stage IV cancer survivor whose life embodies courage, creativity, and transformation. After 35 years as a PwC partner, Thom left corporate life to explore what it truly means to live with intention, resilience, and purpose. His journey blends business leadership and personal awakening, revealing how surrender, mindfulness, and flow can help us live more consciously, even in the face of uncertainty.
Thom’s story is one of radical growth and inner strength - a reminder that peace isn’t found through control, but through presence, acceptance, and courage.
Some Key Highlights:
- The defining childhood moments that built Thom’s deep sense of responsibility, curiosity, and courage
- How a 35-year corporate career became the unlikely foundation for creativity, leadership, and transformation
- Why adventure and discomfort can unlock high-flow states, peak performance, and mental clarity
- The awakening that came after a stage IV cancer diagnosis and how it reshaped his understanding of surrender
- A new perspective on vulnerability, connection, and the strength found in asking for help
Thom’s story is a reminder that life is fleeting, but depth is infinite. Through his reflections on mortality, mindfulness, and mastery, he invites us to look beyond fear and control to the vibrant edge of possibility.
Whether you’re facing uncertainty, seeking transformation, or wanting to live with more purpose and awareness, this conversation will leave you inspired to live each day as if it truly matters.
