E 193 - From Burned Out to Built Different with Gordon Parker
In this episode of From Busy to Rich, Wes sits down with Heritage Business Strategies founder and longtime friend Gordon Parker for an honest conversation about reinvention, ego, growth, and building a business by design instead of default.
After more than three decades in the financial industry, Gordon reached a point where success no longer felt fulfilling. He wasn’t looking to quit — he was looking for a better way to work, lead, and live.
Together, Wes and Gordon unpack the emotional and practical realities of changing your business model later in your career, letting go of control, building a team, and rediscovering enjoyment in the work again.
This episode is especially powerful for advisors and entrepreneurs who know something needs to change — but haven’t given themselves permission to do it yet.
