At 38, Rick Foerster became financially independent after helping build a healthcare startup that went public. By every external measure, he had “enough.” But internally, he felt restless, disoriented, and unsure of what came next.

In this candid conversation, Rick and Brendan Frazier explore what happens on the other side of enough, when financial freedom collides with the deeper human questions of identity, belonging, and purpose.

Rick shares how he went from chasing the next big venture to intentionally disrupting the rhythms of his life, creating the space to explore meaning, creativity, and fulfillment. He opens up about the messy middle of transition, the trap of tying self-worth to productivity, and why freedom without direction can quickly feel like emptiness.

You’ll Learn:

► Why reaching “enough” can trigger confusion instead of clarity

► How to help clients find meaning beyond achievement and accumulation

► The difference between financial independence and psychological independence

► Why true fulfillment often starts where financial independence ends

► How clients can discover identity when work is no longer their defining role
