You don't need all the answers.
Sometimes you just need enough courage to ask a different question.
In this episode of The Wisdom Trust, Loren Crawford talks with Davidson Koay—a gay man who has spent more than 25 years building a successful career while quietly wondering whether the life he's created still fits the man he's becoming.
Together they explore:
Career burnout after 50
The fear of leaving a secure job
Retirement dreams versus present-day happiness
Self-confidence and identity
What happens when your work no longer feels aligned
Why courage matters more than certainty
This isn't a conversation about having life figured out.
It's about discovering that the second half of life may be the first time we're truly free to choose differently.
If you're a gay man over 50 wondering whether it's too late to reinvent yourself, this conversation is for you.
