What happens when an entrepreneur finally steps away from the grind—only to be pulled back in? 

Scott Moody, co-founder of AuthenTec—the company behind the fingerprint technology that became a cornerstone of Apple’s Touch ID—joins Richard Stroupe, host of Amplified CEO, to discuss the challenges of retirement, the thrill of reinvention, and why purpose, not just profit, drives him. 

From his latest mission-driven company, K4Connect, to his venture capital firm, First Talent Ventures, Scott shares his insights on what keeps entrepreneurs coming back for more.
