My Balancing Act

Andy Temte's take on second chances. Most of us are out of balance, and most of us need that kind of heavy introspection at times, and really need to look inside and ask ourselves questions about who we are, who we want to be, and the impact that we're having on others. "If somebody that's placed me in a box actually spent the time to really understand what makes me tick, they would find a much, much more complicated story. I've only been married to one woman, but I've been married to her twice "Andy opens up. "In my late thirties, my very early forties I had a lot of success and was wildly successful by most people's metrics. Money, family, cars, boats, all the usual societal metrics that people use. But something was really missing from my life, I was all work all the time, not as present as I should have been in my family. And my wife and I split up and it was a real wakeup call, the process of divorce. You don't know what you've got until it's gone. I realised I really had to do something different.
