Episode 88: You don’t have to know where you’re going. Just follow what makes you feel alive. In this episode of The Lost & Found Podcast, Amanda Powers sits down with entrepreneur and wellness innovator Mike Tecku [https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-tecku-55162415b/], the founder of Momentum Shake [https://www.momentumshake.com/], to explore what it really means to rebuild your life after grief, burnout, and success that no longer feels fulfilling. Together, they try to answer, "What happens when you build everything… and still feel lost?" In this episode, Amanda and Mike discuss how Mike went from couch-surfing musician to multi-million dollar founder—and why he left retirement to build a product that could truly help others slow down (or even reverse) the aging process.
