This week Joe sits down with Mark Wallace, a former banking executive who made a bold leap from a stable, high-level career into the unknown—driven by faith, purpose, and a calling he couldn’t ignore.
Mark shares the behind-the-scenes reality of a life pivot: the two-year internal battle, the risk of leaving behind identity and income, and the practical steps that helped him navigate the transition. From self-inventory and small exploratory moves to ultimately “burning the boats,” this conversation unpacks what it really takes to change direction—not just in business, but in life.
They also dive into the mission behind Faith Forward, an organization helping professionals integrate faith and leadership in the workplace, and explore how anyone—regardless of career stage—can find deeper alignment, meaning, and impact in their daily work.
Whether you’re contemplating a major career shift or simply searching for more purpose where you are, this episode offers a grounded, honest look at what it means to pivot with intention.
