What happens when the life you built starts to feel like someone else’s dream?

In this heartfelt episode of A Wise and Happy Life, Bob Martin sits down with Ray Martin, former “Business Leader of the Year” turned world-traveling author and humanitarian. After a personal and professional collapse, Ray walked away from corporate success to answer a question most of us avoid: What does a life true to yourself really look like?

Ray shares the power of intention, how living without a tie became his metaphor for personal freedom, and why being of service, whether running marathons for orphans or caring for a friend with cancer, transformed his definition of happiness. This is a must-listen if you’re standing at a crossroads or searching for a life with more meaning, courage, and heart.

 

What you’ll learn: 

  • Why corporate success doesn’t guarantee personal fulfillment
  • How intention can quietly shape your future
  • Why serving others is one of the most powerful paths to healing

 

Podcast Quote: 

"If you really can't see a way out... go and find someone else who really needs help and help them 100%." — Ray Martin
