#80: The Questions That Change Everything: Live Q&A on Purpose, Risk, Relationships, and Legacy
Friday, 9 January, 2026
Most people don’t avoid change because they’re afraid of action.They avoid it because they’re afraid of the questions.The ones that surface late at night.The ones you don’t ask at work.The ones you don’t bring home.The ones that quietly shape your future whether you acknowledge them or not.This week’s episode of the Normal 40 Podcast is different by design.It’s a live Q&A recorded inside The Speakeasy — a private, unlisted LinkedIn community where high performers show up to ask the questions they can’t safely ask anywhere else.What emerged wasn’t advice.It wasn’t a plan.It was a pattern.Every question landed in one of four buckets we all face eventually:1. Purpose.2. Risk.3. Relationships.4. Legacy.Questions like:* “I like my job… but I know I’m capable of more. Now what?”* “How do I speak up when honesty feels professionally dangerous?”* “I’m successful on paper. Why doesn’t it feel like my best work?”* “How do I finish well?”This episode isn’t about quitting your job.It’s about finding your voice before you need to.We talk about why most “risk” is really just uncertainty, how clarity actually forms (hint: not through thinking harder), and why community is a must-have if you want your next chapter to work.If you feel like you’re standing at a line you can see, and feel, but haven’t crossed yet, this conversation will land.🎧 Listen to Episode #80:The Questions That Change Everything: Purpose, Risk, Relationships, and Legacy[Podcast link]And if you want access to the room where these conversations happen live:👉 Join The Speakeasy here: https://www.linkedin.com/groups/12553961/Your life can look very different in a year.But only if you start.—Lon This is a public episode.
