This week on A Voice and Beyond, we have a most delightful conversation with our special guest — Link Forester. In this interview, Link shares his rare blend of humility, faith, and a good sense of humor, all of which have enabled him to grow and move through the trials of becoming a parent much earlier than planned, a risky career change, and the tragic death of his son. He is currently working in the financial services industry, leading a thriving financial planning and wealth management business. During COVID, Link decided to write his autobiography called The Side Road, which takes readers on a journey of self-discovery and finding purpose amidst life's unexpected twists and turns. As a seasoned traveler and adventurer, he tells us that he draws from his own experiences navigating the ups and downs of life to offer practical insights and wisdom to his readers. Through personal anecdotes and reflections, Link inspires us to embrace the unexpected detours and challenges life presents to find joy and meaning in the journey. He encourages us to step off the beaten path, explore new avenues and possibilities, and trust our inner compass to guide us toward our true purpose.Whether you're at a crossroads in your life or simply seeking inspiration and guidance, Link offers a fresh perspective on the transformative power of embracing all that life has to offer. This is a beautiful and candid discussion with Link Forester as he takes us on a journey with his many personal experiences, stories, and reflections.In this Episode2:35 - Introduction14:03 - Qualities for success18:12 - Life's Curveball & How Link dealt with it26:23 - Importance of humility, faith, and a good sense of humor33:07 - For those people who haven't found their purpose in life35:04 - Importance of having a small group of friends41:47 - Was there any regrets?50:01 - Link's book: The Side RoadFind Link OnlineWebsite: https://linkforesterauthor.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/link.forester.1Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thesideroadbook/ His book: https://linkforesterauthor.com/the-book For more, go to https://drmarisaleenaismith.com/136.Like this episode?
