It’s Never Too Late – Dave Hurley

from Connected Leaders Academy

Connected Leaders Academy It’s Never Too Late At 52, from the outside, everything looked successful. A thriving print and design business built over nearly 30 years. A gym opened with passion and belief. Financial stability. Reputation. Security. But behind the scenes, stress was mounting, fulfillment was fading, and staying the course felt more dangerous than stepping away. In this honest and deeply personal talk, Dave shares how walking away from two successful businesses, without a master plan or safety net, became the turning point that reshaped his life. From discovering time-efficient resistance band training in his 40s, to retraining as a fitness professional at 50, to closing a gym, rebuilding smarter, and adapting again when COVID forced everything online, this is a story of uncomfortable decisions made out of necessity, not bravado. Now working globally with busy professionals over 40, Dave speaks from lived experience about burnout, alignment, risk, and reinvention. This talk is for anyone who feels stuck by success, weighed down by expectations, or quietly wondering if change is still possible. Because sometimes, the biggest risk isn’t starting again. It’s staying exactly where you are.

Solving for Change MOBIA Technology Innovations Solving for Change welcomes business and technology leaders to share stories of bold business transformation within complex organizations. In an era when technology and markets are changing around businesses, the key to staying competitive is to evolve in response to those changes.  MOBIA’s Mike Reeves and Marc LeBlanc investigate business transformation, deconstructing the challenges, ambitions, and market disruptions that drive companies to embark on transformation journeys, and exploring their unique approaches to achieving meaningful outcomes.  What sparks leaders to pursue business transformation? How do they overcome the challenges along the way? What are the keys to creating enduring change?  Through in-depth conversations with business and technology leaders, Mike and Marc answer these questions and explore how businesses evolve by pulling four key transformation levers: people, process, technology, and culture. NEWMORROW SESSIONS - A PodCast Series on the Future of Hospitality Mario C. Bauer, Florian Schneider, Axel Weber & Dr. Tillman Bardt The Newmorrow PodCast is more than a podcast — it's a platform for open dialog on the future of our business, a platform for those building what doesn’t exist yet. Here, we share and embrace our passion for the hospitality industry, but we won’t romanticize the journey. We ask the tough questions, confront uncomfortable truths, and prepare for a future that resists easy answers. We believe that the tougher and wilder times become, the more openly, honestly and humanely people need to talk to each other and act together. We believe, openness, togetherness, and truthfulness should also be cornerstones of a professional community to develop our utopian idea of „open source“. This is a space where visionaries don’t just imagine the future — they wrestle with the paradoxes that shape it: success vs. happiness, data vs. instinct, stability vs. reinvention. Join leaders, entrepreneurs, and thinkers as they share not what made them — but what’s actively shaping them, now and next. So tune in It's All Connected Ali Rodgers A self improvement podcast that teaches you how to guide yourself to your best life. Leading From All Sides Abbie Mirata Discover the various styles of leadership, from leading at the forefront to steering from behind, rising to the top or empowering from the bottom. We'll explore horizontal and vertical leadership, leading through your brand, and even leading in your most intimate relationships. Join me in engaging conversations with special guests who are leaders in their careers, communities, and families. Gain insights, perspectives, and invaluable lessons that challenge traditional notions of what it means to lead.
