Escaping Founder Prison & Buying Back Your Life with George Rivera

Stop Leaving Life on the Table with John Salzwedel

In this episode of 9-5 Exit Plan, I sit down with coach, speaker, and author John Salzwedel. After nearly three decades in the insurance industry, John found himself asking deeper questions about purpose, fulfillment, faith, and intentional living. That journey led him to discover that many people aren’t struggling because they lack ability—they’re struggling because they’re overwhelmed by competing thoughts, responsibilities, and expectations. We discuss why successful people often feel stuck, how clarity gets lost in busy lives, the power of slowing down, and how asking better questions can lead to better decisions. If you’re facing an important decision, feeling uncertain about your next step, or searching for greater alignment in your life and career, this conversation will help you find clarity and confidence.
