What if the thing you're meant to do... still lies ahead?
In this moving conversation, Terry Tucker shares what it means to live a meaningful life, not by chasing a title, but by following the pull of purpose, again and again.
From Division I athlete to rookie cop at 37, from corporate executive to SWAT hostage negotiator to bestselling author, Terry’s story is one of profound reinvention and unshakable heart.
Diagnosed with a rare cancer over a decade ago, he continues to show up each day with grit, grace, and the courage to keep becoming.
If you’ve ever wondered whether it’s too late to start over, this episode is your reminder: you’re allowed!
🎙️ What We Talk About:
• Saying yes to a dream, even decades later
• Why your calling is allowed to evolve
• The power of asking (instead of self-rejecting)
• How to lead with purpose, even in pain
• And the one thing Terry wishes he’d known sooner
🧡 Quote to Hold On To:
"If there's something in your heart, something in your soul, that you believe you are supposed to do, but it scares you — go ahead and do it."
