The Consultant Life

In this episode, I sit down with my uncle, a first-generation immigrant whose 30+ year career as a consultant took him across the country—week after week, year after year. From early days of mainframes to the rise of the internet, he shares what it was really like to live the “road warrior” life. We talk about the tradeoffs, the relationships, and what it takes to influence without authority.What emerges isn’t a story of careful planning, but one built on curiosity, adaptability, and connecting with people. A grounded look at what actually sustains a long working life.
