Welcome back to the Mile 40 Podcast! In this milestone episode, host Bishoy sits down with our first-ever repeat guest, Thomas Obrey, for a raw and insightful conversation about life after stepping away from the relentless grind of building and leading a business. Two years into his sabbatical, Thomas opens up about the unexpected challenges of losing a career-driven identity, the realities of finding purpose outside of work, and the seldom-discussed emotional journey that comes with newfound freedom and reflection.

Together, they dive deep into what it really means to start over, the myths surrounding financial success, and the importance of community, mentorship, and optimism—no matter where you are in your career or personal life. From honest stories about confronting loneliness to candid reflections on enduring personal change, Thomas shares wisdom and life lessons that will resonate with anyone facing their own crossroads.

Whether you’re contemplating a big transition or just need inspiration to keep moving forward, this episode is a reminder that comebacks truly are always greater than setbacks. Get ready for an authentic, uplifting conversation you won’t want to miss!
