About this listen

What happens when you realize the career you’ve built isn’t the life you want?


After decades of climbing the corporate ladder in tech, Joel Krooswyk hit a wall — literally landing in the hospital from exhaustion. But instead of ignoring the signs, he and his wife made a bold choice: to rebuild their lives on their own terms. From a $25,000 inheritance and a rundown house in Indiana, they created a thriving real-estate portfolio, a lakefront lifestyle, and the freedom to choose what truly matters.


In this heartfelt conversation with host Maurice Philogene, Joel opens up about:

• Breaking free from the “success trap” of corporate life

• Building financial freedom through purpose, not pressure

• Restoring not just homes — but health, marriage, and mindset


If you’ve ever wondered what “enough” really looks like, this episode will help you reimagine freedom for yourself.
