What if losing your job gave you the life you really needed?
Clay Garrett spent 25 years in design and advertising before a sudden COVID-era layoff forced him to rethink what success really meant. Instead of rushing back into the workforce, he embraced the gift of time, rediscovered his family, and began building a life centered on purpose, presence, and simplicity.
In this episode, Clay shares:
- Why intentional time with family changed his outlook on success
- How self-awareness and reflection shifted his relationships and career path
- The story behind launching Campfire Gentleman, a project helping men live with intention
