Editor’s List: Second Chapters; 45 Leaders Share How To Reinvent Yourself In The Second Chapter Of Your Life

Many successful people reinvented themselves in a later period in their life. Jeff Bezos worked in Wall Street before he reinvented himself and started Amazon. Sara Blakely sold office supplies before she started Spanx. Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson was a WWE wrestler before he became a successful actor and filmmaker. Arnold Schwarzenegger went from a bodybuilder, to an actor to a Governor. McDonald’s founder Ray Kroc was a milkshake-device salesman before starting the McDonalds franchise in his 50’s.

Author Pirie Jones Grossman and Authority Magazine started a new interview series called Second Chapters: How I Reinvented Myself In The Second Chapter Of My Life. How does one reinvent themselves? What hurdles have to be overcome to take life in a new direction? How do you overcome those challenges? How do you ignore the naysayers? How do you push through the paralyzing fear?

Many of these interviews were published in Pirie’s recent book.

Some of the experts we interviewed put together some fantastic videos sharing their five tips. Please enjoy these videos and interviews below.
