What if the title you worked for wasn’t the life you actually wanted? Todd joins us to share a candid story of leaving law, surviving glioblastoma, and rebuilding a career designed around time, family, and genuine service. It’s not a hustle monologue, it’s a field guide for sustainable work and human connection.
We start with a surprise trip home to Colorado, then dig into how Todd balances sales with a mission-driven solution through LegalShield to give small businesses affordable legal protection. From there, we unpack the habits that make relationship-building feel natural: remembering details, following up with care, and letting shared interests like music turn a contact into a conversation. Todd’s approach challenges the myth that you need a certain personality to sell; he shows how authenticity, presence, and respect win long-term.
The heart of the conversation is resilience. Todd explains what it means to live with “the new normal” after a brain cancer diagnosis, and how protecting your minutes through mindset, music, and intentional choices can reshape your work and your life. We also push back on zero-sum thinking in sales and entrepreneurship. Someone else’s win doesn’t steal yours; collaboration and empathy expand opportunities. If you’re navigating a career pivot, feeling boxed in by your degree, or just craving a more grounded way to grow, you’ll find practical takeaways you can use today: simple follow-up systems, mindset anchors, and a fresh lens on what success can look like.
