#41 Life’s too short to do things that suck! | Stoppage Time with Uncle Rob. May 9, 2025.

Welcome back to Stoppage Time with Uncle Rob! This week’s episode is a powerful deep dive into the realities of career burnout, rediscovering your purpose, and reshaping your mindset—featuring the brilliant Goli Kalkhoran, founder of Lessons from a Quitter. We unpack three big takeaways from our energizing conversation on Entrepreneurial Thinkers Episode 158, “Quitting Your Career to Save Your Life.” Whether you’re an entrepreneur, investor, executive, or simply feeling stuck in your current path, this is a conversation you need to hear. Goli shares deeply personal insights about breaking free from a life that no longer fits and taking bold steps toward something better. From learning to stop tolerating the things that drain us, to recognizing that persistent inner itch that might be your next calling, to powerful tools like Thought Swapping and Intentional Thinking—this episode is packed with practical wisdom for navigating uncertainty and realigning with joy and purpose. Goli’s story hit home for me in so many ways—especially as someone who made my own career pivot 27+ years ago. Her words are real, relatable, and needed now more than ever in today’s chaotic world. If you’re ready for a mindset shift, or just need a reminder that you’re not alone in your struggles, this is the one to watch. And while I don’t have a book rec this week, I do recommend checking out her podcast Lessons from a Quitter. Trust me—whatever your journey looks like right now, there’s something here for you. 🙏 Thank you for being part of our growing community of Entrepreneurial Thinkers. Let’s keep moving forward together. Happy Friday—and see you next week!
