    EP: 42 I'm Back — When Life Changes, Your Plan Has to Change Too

    What transition are you navigating right now? After stepping away from The Ultimate Transition Plan, Gary Thompson returns to the microphone with a different perspective on life, career, family, income, purpose and what it really means to start another chapter. In this comeback episode, Gary talks about why the podcast disappeared, what happened during the years away, what he's learned through his own transitions—and why now is the right time to bring the conversation back. You'll also hear what's changing with the show, including new conversations about career transitions, fatherhood, relationships, entrepreneurship, money, retirement, personal growth and finding purpose during life's unexpected turns. Plus, Gary introduces a new question that will become central to the podcast: What's your next move? You don't need to have everything figured out. You just need to be willing to take the next step. WHAT'S YOUR NEXT MOVE? Life doesn't always go according to plan. Sometimes you need a new one.
