I’m Art Blanchford, and this is Life in Transition, a podcast about making the most of the changes we’re given. As a married father of three teenagers, long-time global business executive, and adventurer, I’ve been through hundreds of transitions in my life. Many have been difficult, but all have led to a depth and richness I could never have imagined. You’ll get to hear all about them on this podcast so that together, we can create more love and joy in our lives — no matter what transitions we go through.

    "Are you navigating transformation alone when the fabric of community is waiting to hold you?" What happens when you refuse to stay trapped? Leann Rose Crook shares her journey through eight major life transformations—from single mom on welfare to salon owner to leading 50 men in Iraq's desert. Her message? "You are absolutely good enough." Not because of achievements. Simply because you're human. Leann reveals the grade five moment that sparked her lifelong purpose, the profound realization that "we are all the same" she discovered on tribal floors in Iraq, and a simple five-question exercise to identify your own purpose. Her story challenges the myth of going it alone. We're not meant to be independent threads—we're meant to weave ourselves into the fabric of community, especially during transformation.Leann Rose Crook is a Transformation Mentor, Identity Recovery Coach, and founder of Lango Living. After navigating eight major life transformations—from single mom on welfare to salon owner to leading occupational health and safety training for 50 men in Iraq—Leann developed a practical six-step transformation system for women navigating major life change.

    “I saw my father do it. So I have a better understanding on how to do it, how to serve, how to lead." - Barry FarmerWhat happens when a decorated US Army veteran walks away from 23 years of service? Barry Farmer didn't slow down—he discovered his true calling. After raising seven children and adopting three more, Barry threw himself into Jacksonville's nonprofit world, joining three boards and becoming a Human Rights Commissioner. But burnout led him to the Appalachian Trail. "When you feel useless, become useful to somebody," a hostel owner told him. That wisdom transformed everything. Barry's parents never preached servant leadership—they lived it. Now he's weaving a community fabric where isolated threads become something stronger together. His message? More than average isn't about salary. It's about heart. Barry Farmer, trail name "Ambassador," is a retired US Army veteran with 23 years of honorable service, including completing Army Ranger School as one of three African Americans in his graduating class.

    What happens when a $2 billion CEO walks away from corporate success to serve former gang members? Thomas Vozzo faced exactly that choice. After 26 years in the for-profit world, he chose Homeboy Industries over another lucrative CEO role—knowing he was "burning bridges." At Homeboy, Tom discovered profound truths. "God is too busy loving us to judge us," he learned, not intellectually but viscerally, surrounded daily by 500 people healing from complex trauma. He watched former gang members flourish when given 8, 9, 10 chances. The stress was greater, but the joy ran deeper. His journey challenges everything we're taught to value, revealing that authentic success means finding joy through serving others, not chasing titles.Thomas J.

Walking meditation: turning off the noise and spending days in quiet. "If you don't ask, the answer is always no." Now, Troy's mission is helping people over 40 live their dream and find their greater second half—a powerful guide for anyone navigating midlife transitions.Troy Horne is a three-time bestselling author who's sold over 300,000 copies, former Broadway performer in Rent, and NBC's The Sing-Off alum.
