このコンテンツについて

 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.

    #68: The Journey: From ER Doctor to Middle-School Teacher - Keith Pochick's Story (Replay)
    2025/07/12

    Some trades don’t make sense—until they do.

    This is one of them.

    Keith Pochick was an ER doctor. Twenty years in. Saving lives. Leading teams. Teaching residents. Everything he was trained to do and everything the world told him he should want.

    Until it stopped working.

    This conversation started the way most do: a quiet nudge, a LinkedIn post, and a DM sent without a plan. Forty-eight hours later, Keith and I sat down for the first time. No prep, no script. Just two guys who had made The Trade™ and knew the cost.

    He didn’t leave medicine on a whim. He left over years.One dissection. One advisory meeting. One tug from his future at a time.Until one day he said yes to something that had been whispering for years.

    Now, he teaches middle school science.And he’s never felt more useful.

    This isn’t a story about burnout. It’s a story about awakening—when staying felt heavier than leaving,when the “right thing” wasn’t the thing that felt true anymore,and when Keith finally stopped letting guilt steal his curiosity.

    You’re going to feel this one.

    And if you’re wondering whether it’s too late to start over...listen to the guy who did it—with no regrets, and no backup plan.

  • #67 The Calling: From Wall Street to Psychiatry. The Cost of Chasing Image - With Dr. Eric Arzubi

    #67 The Calling: From Wall Street to Psychiatry. The Cost of Chasing Image - With Dr. Eric Arzubi
    2025/07/04
    What if the life you built—the job, the title, the salary—wasn’t the life you were meant to live?

    Lon sits down with Dr. Eric Arzubi, a former Wall Street bond trader who walked away from Morgan Stanley to become a psychiatrist and mental health advocate. But the real story isn’t the résumé.

    It’s what happened in between.

    Eric shares his remarkable, winding path. From early success to devastating anxiety. From image management to identity collapse. From the Upper East Side to the mountains of Montana, where he now leads one of the most innovative mental health organizations in the country - Frontier Psychiatry.

    They talk about high-functioning anxiety, burnout, fatherhood, ego, and the choice to live for impact instead of applause.

    This is an episode for anyone who has ever wondered if they’re allowed to want more and feared what might happen if they said it out loud.

    WHAT TO EXPECT:
    • Why Eric left a $400K Wall Street job to start over in medicine
    • The anxiety spiral that nearly broke him and how he clawed his way back
    • What panic feels like for elite performers (and why it’s so often hidden)
    • Why mental health care is still out of reach for too many
    • The power of marrying ambition with service
    • How Frontier Psychiatry is transforming rural care across the U.S.
    KEY TAKEAWAYS:
    • You can wear the costume of success and still feel completely lost inside it.
    • The pursuit of “brand” won’t protect you from burnout.
    • Sometimes, you don’t need a new job. You need a new identity.
    • Anxiety doesn’t make you weak. Ignoring it does.
    • You don’t need to fix everything. You just need to advocate for yourself.
    • What feels like unraveling might actually be your reassembly.

    What’s Next?
    If you’ve been silently struggling, this is your permission slip. Whether you’re chasing clarity, community, or calling, follow the movement on Substack if you haven't already. Lon shares his best work over here.

  • #66 The Layoff: How Google Exit Sparked Personal Transformation — With Nicholas Whitaker

    #66 The Layoff: How Google Exit Sparked Personal Transformation — With Nicholas Whitaker
    2025/06/20
    What if success didn’t satisfy you the way it was supposed to?

    Lon sits down with Nicholas Whitaker, former Googler, entrepreneur, and founder of the Conscious Lead Collective.

    Nicholas shares his journey from punk anarchist to Google executive and the unraveling that began in a hotel room in Japan. At the peak of a global career, Nicholas found himself crumbling under the weight of performance, loneliness, and anxiety, living a version of success that felt more like survival.

    They talk about burnout, reinvention, and the quiet, powerful decision to build community over competition. This is for anyone who feels called to build something more intentional and honest and is brave enough to start.

    WHAT TO EXPECT:
    • How Nicholas went from punk rock to the boardrooms of Google and why he walked away.
    • The secret cost of “success” and why chasing status eventually leads to burnout.
    • Building the "Conscious Lead Collective" and what it means to lead with awareness.
    • Why collaboration beats competition every time.
    • The power of healing through community, storytelling, and shared purpose.


    KEY TAKEAWAYS:
    • Reinvention doesn’t start with a résumé. It starts with curiosity.
    • Real leadership is rooted in compassion, not control.
    • You don’t need to “burn it all down,” but you do need to build something that aligns.
    • Your past doesn't define you. If anything, it prepares you.
    • Sometimes the next chapter starts with a layoff and ends with legacy.
