In this inspiring and thought-provoking episode, Dustin welcomes Lucia Knight, founder of 'Midlife Unstuck', for a meaningful conversation about one of the most overlooked success factors in life and work.

They unpack powerful questions like:

What if everything you’ve worked so hard for still leaves you unfulfilled?

How do you redefine success when you’ve already “made it” by the world’s standards?

And how do you design work that energizes you—without taking unnecessary risks or starting over from scratch?

Lucia shares insights from her research with over 3,500 executives and deep coaching work with mid-career professionals who found the courage to redesign their lives. She introduces her simple but transformational “Joyful Work Formula”—a Venn diagram of your superpowers, purpose, and lifestyle goals—and provides practical tools for identifying what truly lights you up.

You’ll hear relatable stories of clients who let go of draining work, started purpose-driven businesses, and reclaimed their time and energy without sacrificing income or success.
