I would love to hear what you think of this episode. Write your thoughts here. Thank you for your feedback! Many people today are working hard... but quietly wondering if they're building the right life. They achieve goals. They stay busy. They keep moving forward. Yet underneath the surface, there is often a lingering question: "Is this really what I was made for?" In this episode, I sit down with Scott Maderer, founder of Inspired Stewardship, author of Inspired Living, coach, speaker, and host of the Inspired Stewardship Podcast. Scott shares his journey through financial hardship, personal struggle, leadership, faith, and the slow process of discovering his true calling. If you've ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, restless, or unsure about your next season in life, this conversation offers practical wisdom, hope, and encouragement. What if the problem isn't that you're working too little... but that you're working hard toward something that no longer fits who you are? In this thoughtful conversation, Scott Maderer shares how a season of financial crisis and personal pain became the catalyst for a completely different life. Together we explore: • Why many people feel busy but unfulfilled • The difference between productivity and purpose • Why time management and money management are really forms of self-management • How to identify and live out your calling • The importance of mastering your time, talent, and treasures • Why lasting transformation happens through small consistent steps • Leadership, stewardship, faith, and personal growth Scott is the founder of Inspired Stewardship and author of Inspired Living: Assemble the Puzzle of Your Calling by Mastering Your Time, Your Talent, and Your Treasures. His message is especially powerful for people navigating transition, questioning their direction, or sensing that there is more to life than simply staying busy. One of my favorite insights from this conversation is that your life is not a photograph - it's a film strip. You are still becoming. And perhaps your next chapter begins with one small aligned step. https://inspiredstewardship.com https://www.facebook.com/InspiredStewardship https://inspiredstewardship.com/lifeleadershipconnected/ 🎯 Take the Identity Alignment Scorecard: https://identity-alignment-scorecard.lovable.app 🎤 Join the Life & Leadership Connected Summit 2026: Clarity in Transition – From Identity to Sustainable Impact https://lifeleadershipconnected.systeme.io/life-leadership-connected-summit-2026 🌐 Website: https://lifeleadershipconnected.com 📧 Contact: david.dahlendcruz@lifeleadershipconnected.com Thank you for listening.
