The tsunami didn’t just flood our home. It wiped away every excuse I had left.

December 26, 2004.

I was in bed. My wife was yelling, “Run!”

The ocean had already crossed the shore.

By the time I stood up, the water was inside the house—rushing toward us.

I couldn’t swim. I had drowned once before.

And now, I was trying to escape with my two-year-old son on my shoulder.

That day, the Indian Ocean tsunami took nearly 300,000 lives.

It spared mine—but took something else:

My illusions about safety, status, and time.

In this first solo episode, I share:

• What that day stripped away from my identity

• Why I finally left an 18-year career on Wall Street

• Three questions I want you to ask yourself today—before life forces your hand

This isn’t motivation. It’s clarity.

And if you’ve been circling a decision, it might meet you where you are.
