This episode is different from the usual Normal 40 conversations.
This is a confession.
In this episode, Lon pulls back the curtain on a realization that caught him off guard while writing his second book, The Gap. As he mapped the patterns of thou... more
Most of us don’t think about death.
Not really.
We think about promotions.College tuition.Quarterly numbers.The next vacation.The next deal.
But we don’t think about how it ends.

Most of us think we’re high performers because we get things done.
We solve problems. We chase answers. We check the boxes.

This man is a great writer and a terrible interviewer. He ping pongs all over the place, asks inane questions not about the topic at hand, and generally I felt sorry for his guest.
I connected with Lon two years ago. Little did I know how this man, and his vision, would change my life. If you are in the fence about where your next chapter should take you, you are not alone. Tune in. Listen to these podcasts. Snag a copy of The Trade. Share with your spouse. Be open to the unknown. Listen to that feeling in your gut. Lon, thank you for putting this out there.

The goal of touching lives has been attained.
I’m simply ONE person who pulled off the road so I could write this review. Imagine how many others there are☀️
I came across Lon Stroschein's 'Normal 40 Podcast' & subsequently his book, 'The Trade'.

This podcast continues to be brilliantly authentic, uplifting &... more
When I discovered Lon’s content, I came with curiosity as I was contemplating a change. I had no idea that the Normal 40 movement was going to reflect back at me the exact challenges I was working through.
Questioning my professional career and a potential change, the fear associated with the unknown and the awkward conversation that was waiting to set it all off.
