Today’s guest is Khe Hy,
Khe worked on Wall Street for 15 years, becoming one of the youngest managing directors at BlackRock. At the time, he thought he had fulfilled the dreams he had held since childhood: Income. Status, and A nice apartment.
But deep inside, he felt comfortably numb and was afraid he would spend the rest of his life going through the motions.
So at age 35, terrified that he would spend the rest of his life going down a path that wasn’t fully him, he pulled the ripcord and started RadReads, a blog focused on helping hard-charging professionals step back from their busy lives and ask themselves life's biggest questions.
-Is this as good as it gets?
-What does it mean to make an impact?
-What does a rich and fulfilled life look like?
Now, the blog and newsletter are read by 30,000 leaders each week across countless industries.
And Khe has revamped his lifestyle to spend more time with his family, working on his passions, and going on plenty of surfing trips.
