What happens when the life you built no longer quite fits?

In this opening episode, John introduces The 5:00 Project—a podcast about what comes after the traditional workday, and more broadly, what happens when you reach a point in life where you know something has to change.

It’s about the hours between obligation and possibility: the second shift of life where you try to become healthier, build something of your own, reconnect with the things you once loved, figure out relationships, navigate fatherhood and career, and decide what you actually want the next chapter to look like.

No perfect plan. No finished transformation.

Just five o’clock—and what happens next.
