The Fear of Starting Over

Starting over is one of the hardest things we’ll ever do.Whether it’s leaving a job, rebuilding after failure, starting a new career, ending a relationship, or simply trying to become a better man, beginning again can feel overwhelming.In this episode of The Roundtable for Men, Chad Tafs shares his own experiences of starting over—from losing his military career and rebuilding his identity to driving Uber, leaving a decade-long career at Taco Bell, and taking the leap to create The Roundtable.Together, we explore why starting over feels so heavy, how our identity can become tied to our titles, the cost of staying comfortable, and why growth often begins the moment we’re willing to become beginners again.If you’ve ever felt like you’re behind, afraid to take the next step, or unsure of where life is leading you, this conversation is for you.Because starting over doesn’t mean you’ve failed.Sometimes it means you finally found the courage to begin again.🪑 Pull up a chair.⸻Sponsored by MK Army Heel EnergyA Founding Partner of The Roundtable for MenBuilt for long days and real work.
