In this transformative episode of The Ronin Mindset, I sit down with Jeff Kolez, a man who turned his life upside down—and for the better. After going through a life-altering divorce, Jeff embarked on a slow-travel journey, diving into different cultures and scuba diving adventures across the globe.

Jeff is now building a conscious business dedicated to helping men recover from divorce and create extraordinary lives for themselves. Together, we explore:

• The emotional and psychological challenges of divorce and how to overcome them.
• Why traveling and experiencing new environments can be key to personal reinvention.
• The lessons Jeff learned from slow traveling through Germany, Belize, and Mexico.
• Strategies for men to bounce back from pattern interrupts and rebuild their identity.
• What it takes to build a purpose-driven business while living nomadically.

If you've ever faced a major life reset or felt stuck in a rut, this episode will inspire you to take charge, embrace change, and design a life of freedom and fulfillment.

Key Takeaways:

• "Pattern interrupts," like divorce, can be an opportunity for reinvention.
• Travel forces introspection and can help uncover new paths in life.
• Building a meaningful life post-divorce requires courage, reflection, and intentionality.
