Retirement should be the beginning of your next meaningful chapter—not the end of your purpose.

What happens when your career ends and the title, routine, responsibilities, and identity that shaped your life suddenly change? In this powerful episode of the Remarkable People Podcast, David Pasqualone sits down with Chris Maduri, founder of Vibrant Retirement, to explore how to find purpose after retirement, rebuild your identity beyond work, deepen your faith, and create a meaningful second act.

Chris shares much more than retirement advice. He opens up about his own remarkable journey through adoption, struggles with identity, the devastating loss of his best friend, alcohol, divorce, multiple DUIs, jail, and the spiritual transformation that followed.

During one of the lowest seasons of his life, Chris began reading the Bible, slowing down, becoming still, and developing a deeper relationship with God. That process helped him begin seeing himself differently—not according to his failures, income, career, achievements, or the opinions of other people, but through a completely different understanding of identity, grace, responsibility, and purpose.

In this conversation, you’ll discover:
• Why financial preparation alone does not prepare you for retirement
• How career and achievement can become dangerously connected to identity
• Why you should begin designing your “second act” years before retirement
• How to balance work, family, health, faith, and enjoying life now
• Why stillness, prayer, listening, and self-awareness matter
• How Chris rebuilt his life after addiction, DUIs, divorce, and jail
• Why failure does not mean your life or purpose is over
• How small acts of service can reveal a much larger purpose
• Why purpose ultimately has to extend beyond yourself
• How to stop endlessly preparing and begin taking meaningful action
• Why you do not need to be perfect before you can add value to someone else’s life

One of Chris’s most powerful insights from the episode:
“If you’re looking for purpose, it has to be outside of you. No one’s purpose is to help themselves.”

Whether you are 25, 45, 65, approaching retirement, already retired, experiencing a major life transition, or simply wondering, “What does God want me to do next?”—this conversation is for you.

Your career may eventually end.

Your job title may change.

But if you are still here, your life still matters—and there is still good you can do.

Are you ready for the truth about the Minnesota Governor's race? In this urgent, passionate, and raw episode of The Remarkable People Podcast, Mike Lindell reveals why he just stepped down as CEO of MyPillow to dedicate his life to saving Minnesota. With the primary election rapidly approaching on Tuesday, August 11, 2026, Mike exposes the corruption of the Uniparty, Tim Walz, Amy Klobuchar, and Lisa DeMuth. 

"This decision is not about walking away. It is about stepping forward to serve. I am putting Minnesota above myself, my title, and my business interests so I can give this campaign and the people of our state my full time, energy, and attention." — Mike Lindell 

We dive deep into Mike's 82-page budget plan that eliminates the state income tax and tackles the massive costs of illegal immigration. Did you know Minnesota taxpayers are spending $159 million a year to house 1,400 illegal immigrants in the state prison system—averaging over $113,000 per illegal alien every single year? We are spending more on criminals than we do on our disabled American veterans.  This is a spiritual battle for the future of our state and our country. Listen now, share this with every Minnesotan (and American) you know, and get out to vote on August 11th!

 "The key is letting go. The key isn't holding on, the key is letting go. And so I realized if I wanted to move in a new direction in my life, I had to let go of some of these things in the past." ~ Chris Avery

Chris Avery spent the first part of his life battling the dark shadows of childhood molestation, physical abuse, and a 17-year addiction to drugs and alcohol. Realizing he needed to change his trajectory, Chris immersed himself in personal development, faith, and mentorship, ultimately transforming his life and achieving sobriety. Today, Chris is a dedicated coach, husband, and father. He is currently preparing for a monumental physical and mental feat: starting January 1, 2027, Chris will run the entire perimeter of the United States, completing an ultra-marathon (31.1 miles) every single day for 365 days.

Key Discussion Highlights & Takeaways

• The Power of Environment: How Chris found sobriety by changing his circle, attending leadership events, and listening to over 10,000 hours of personal development audio. 
• Redefining Forgiveness: Why Chris views forgiveness as a tool for his own freedom rather than for the perpetrator, and how seeing the humanity in others helped heal his deep anger. 
• Shattering Limiting Beliefs: The incredible story of how Chris ran a full 26.2-mile marathon with absolutely zero training just to prove that our minds hold us back more than our physical abilities. 
• The "One Mile" Strategy: How Chris built the discipline to run around America by setting a goal so small—running just one mile a day—that it was impossible to fail. 
• The 5-Minute Marriage Hack: The simple nightly gratitude journaling practice Chris and his wife used for a year to save their struggling marriage and shift their focus to love and appreciation.

Steve Olsen is a retired dentist, a high-performance coach, and a walking miracle. Diagnosed simultaneously with stage four lymphoma, stage one kidney cancer, and total kidney failure requiring dialysis, Steve was handed a grim medical prognosis. Refusing to accept the “probable,” he relentlessly focused on the “possible”. By combining traditional medical interventions with advanced mindset techniques, NuCalm neuroacoustic technology, and deep faith, Steve achieved complete remission within a year. Today, through his platform OptimalPerformance.cc, he coaches everyone from patients to race car drivers on how to control their thoughts, enter the flow state, and live a life of victory.

Key Discussion Highlights & Takeaways

• The Cancer Diagnosis: How Steve processed the devastating news of stage 4 lymphoma and kidney failure, and why he immediately rejected the standard terminal timeline.
• Possible vs. Probable: The crucial mindset shift required to survive critical illness, and why Steve tells patients to actively seek out stories of people who beat the odds.
• The NuCalm Protocol: How Steve used binaural beats and the NuCalm system to safely guide his brain into the Gamma flow state, allowing him to visualize his immune system destroying cancer cells.
• Respond, Don’t React: Why reacting is an emotion-driven survival reflex, whereas responding is a deliberate, calm, and practiced choice that lowers the body’s toxic stress load.
• The Black Door: A powerful illustration of why human beings often choose the comfort of known suffering over the fear of the unknown—even when the unknown leads to freedom

Key Discussion Highlights & Takeaways

• The Post-Challenger NASA Optimization: Following the 1986 disaster, Tamim engineered an automated laser measurement system that replaced slow manual shims on 25,000 silica tiles—slashing inspection processing time from 30 days down to just three days.
• The Authentic Stanford AI Era: Studying at Stanford's AI Institute in 1989, Tamim developed "Expert Systems" utilizing object-oriented programming, algorithmic edge detection, and heuristic modeling decades before today's modern large language models hit the mainstream.
• Biomedical Disruption & The Camera Pill: As Head of R&D for a prominent endoscopy firm, Tamim shrank camera tech to help engineer the world's first swallowable camera pill—transmitting 24 frames per second wirelessly to a belt pack receiver.
• The Architecture of Cardiac Output: Transitioning to cardiac care, Tamim engineered a novel diagnostic application utilizing industrial accelerometers placed on the trachea to directly track the mechanical pumping power of the heart's left ventricle.
• The Science of Theradome: Replicating a forgotten 1965 cold laser study on rats, Tamim custom-grew a specialized 680-nanometer cold laser chip in Silicon Valley. This safe, visible light spectrum device specifically targets and stimulates the mitochondria inside individual hair follicles to halt hair loss in two to three weeks.

What happens when the bank pulls a million-dollar line of funding two weeks before your launch? Or when you buy a $20 million company only to discover on day one that the books were completely fabricated and you are facing immediate payroll collapse?

In this episode, serial entrepreneur Mike Hammond opens up his 25-year playbook of launching 15 multi-million dollar companies. He breaks down the practical mechanics of risk, the reality behind failure statistics, and why the ultimate entrepreneurial superpower has nothing to do with market strategy—and everything to do with the biblical principle of letting go of what you cannot control.

Plus, Mike shares the incredible origin story of Signal Relief, a non-invasive, military-grade technology that is transforming pain management across the globe.
