Gregg Vanourek: Life Quakes, Work Quakes, and Finding What's Next

What if the life you're chasing isn't out there somewhere, but waiting for you to come home to yourself? In this episode of The Soulful Catalyst, I'm joined by Gregg Vanourek, Author, TEDx Speaker, Teacher and Coach. Gregg is co-author of three books, including LIFE Entrepreneurs and the award-winning Triple Crown Leadership, and he teaches at Stockholm Business School. His work sits at the intersection of purpose, character and what it actually means to build a meaningful life. Gregg helps people craft their life and work intentionally, and to avoid what he calls the common traps of living, the things quietly holding us back from happiness and fulfilment. He talked about "life quakes" and "work quakes," those seismic moments, chosen or not, that force us to ask the question underneath everything else: what's next? What struck me most was how personal this work is for him. Gregg traced it back to a philosophy professor who taught him to ask the big questions, and a poet who asked what he wanted to do with his one wild and precious life. Those seeds, planted decades ago, became a career built on helping people get unstuck, find clarity and step into what he calls authentic alignment. We explore: ➤ Why "life quakes" and "work quakes" reshape everything, and how a trusted process helps you move through the uncertainty they bring ➤ The traps quietly keeping you stuck, and why naming the broken record is the first step to changing it ➤ What authentic alignment actually feels like, when who you are finally matches the life you're living ➤ The philosophy professor and poet who changed his path, and the big questions that still guide his work today This episode is for anyone who feels the gap between who they are and the life they're currently living, and is ready to come home to themselves.
