Twice, a massive widowmaker heart attack nearly ended my life. Twice, I walked away with more than just a second chance. And twice I had to rethink everything. After a 20+ year career with firms like Schwab, BlackRock, and Wells Fargo, my cardiologist told me to retire. Instead, I doubled down on a new mission: to help people stop living on autopilot and start redefining what’s possible. Or put another way, with all due respect to my cardiologist I have unfinished business. Code 3: Life. Reinvented. is not another career podcast. It’s a wake-up call. Each episode is real and urgent.

Along the way, Eric shares how health scares, the loss of his parents, and a growing sense of misalignment forced him to rethink what success truly meant. We discuss career burnout, the difference between success and significance, the power of gradual change, and why many high achievers feel disconnected from work that once energized them. Eric also shares how he overcame fear, challenged limiting beliefs, and designed a portfolio career that ultimately led him to work he loves. If you've ever felt trapped in a career that looks good on paper but no longer feels like your own, this conversation offers practical wisdom, hope, and proof that meaningful reinvention is possible. To get in touch with Eric, you can find his LinkedIn here, or through the Yosemite Rivers Alliance site.
