Tom Morgan's Journey and Midlife Transformation

Tom Morgan shares his transformative journey from a successful finance career to a deeper exploration of spirituality and self-discovery. After nearly two decades in the financial sector, he experienced a profound crisis that led him to reevaluate his life's purpose, feeling disconnected and unfulfilled despite material success.
