I don’t have to do it all: Stroke, burnout, and bridging the gap with Randy Crabtree

What happens when the identity you’ve built your entire career around stops working for you… and your body finally forces you to listen? In this episode, Sam and Candy sit down with Randy Crabtree, CPA and co-founder of Tri-Merit, to talk about the stroke that changed everything, stepping down as managing partner, and rebuilding a life around what he actually loves.Randy opens up about decades of “I have to do it all” thinking, why it took him years after his stroke to let go of that identity, and how he slowly redesigned his role around speaking, educating, and championing mental health in the profession. He shares the personal story behind his conference, Bridging the Gap, and his mission to connect big and small firms while making real conversations about burnout, change, and humanity non-negotiable.Powered by Anchor.
