  • Résumé

  • I left the rat race while at the top. I was making the most I had ever made, and I was offered a promotion. But I was tired of the travel. The work no longer inspired me. I was sick of answering emails all night and while on vacation. It was what I chased, but I felt trapped - like it was impossible to leave - because I was the provider. I went to bed most nights with a pit in my gut, hoping that one day I would wake up and take back my life - before my kids had grown and moved out.

    So, I resigned. No plans. No resume. No guarantees. Just me - and it has been fantastic!

    When I left, thousands of people wanted to know how I did it, how I knew it was my time. How I knew I had enough. How I worked this out with my family.

    It wasn't until I left that I realized what I felt was normal. I realized it happens to most high-achievers. And I realized I wasn't alone, but that nobody was leading these leaders. That's when I created Normal 40 - a movement chartered to help people regain control over their lives - a place where you don't have to do this alone.

    This podcast tells the stories of those who have done it, those who are doing it, and those who hope to someday have the balls to start. This podcast is your story, and you're not alone.

    My mission is to inspire a thousand people to write their second-half story -- and live it.

    My metrics will be a thousand notes of thanks from people who have made "The Trade" and will never look back with regret.

    That’s what’s in me. That's my mission. That's why I'm here.

    This is the shit nobody talks about. This is the Normal 40.

    Lets Ramble!

    Feeling stuck at the peak of your success?

    In this raw and energizing kickoff to Season 2, Lon Stroschein and Adam Eaton dive deep into the emotional crossroads elite performers face when they least expect it.

    They unravel the "Eight Universal Struggles" of transition and share their proven process to help you trade comfort for clarity and reclaim your best days ahead.

    1. The Eight Universal Struggles: Lon distills lessons from over 700 Rambles, identifying eight struggles elite performers face: risk/reward, time, health, money, identity, relationships, control, and legacy.
    2. The Trade: Understand that transformation doesn't always mean a total overhaul. Sometimes, it's about re-engineering your life to align with your values.
    3. Shame, Guilt & Frustration: Addressing the unique pain of "having it all but feeling so little" and reframing self-doubt as the first step to change.
    4. Relationships & Communication: Being honest with your spouse and loved ones about your journey to self-discovery is crucial.
