What happens when a successful business owner decides to walk away from comfort, security, and decades of hard work… to step into the unknown world of middle school teaching?

In this episode of Made to Matter, Adam Landrum sits down with longtime friend Shannon Harvey to talk about his radical midlife career transition — from running a successful Allstate Insurance agency to becoming a middle school math teacher.

Shannon shares:

• Why losing one key employee sparked the beginning of his career change.
• How personality assessments (and his wise wife) confirmed teaching was his true calling.
• The challenges of starting over in midlife and what he learned about faith, humility, and listening to advice.
• The surprising health benefits of teaching — including why teachers may live 7–8 years longer.
• Practical advice for anyone considering leaving corporate or business ownership to pursue a second-half purpose.

This conversation is a powerful reminder that it’s never too late to reinvent yourself, follow your calling, and build a life of significance.

👉 If you’re a high-achieving man in your 40s, 50s, or 60s searching for your second-half purpose, this episode will inspire you to take the leap.
