00:00:29
Speaker
They have different backgrounds, and I'm excited for y'all to hear what has led them to where they are today, but they really have a unique background. unique story. And so we can't wait for you to hear from them. They are dear friends of one of our Crossroads career board members. Scott has served with Crossroads in various capacity for over 15 years, and they just have really incredible perspective.
Life-Altering Decisions
00:00:51
Speaker
So Scott, Missy, how about you fill in the gaps for us?
00:00:56
Speaker
Uh, we owned a house for 22 years and discussed traveling over those years and raised two kids. And when it came time for those kids to, uh,
00:01:06
Speaker
leave for college, ah we decided that we would ah actually prayed about it and got some very obvious signs that we should sell the house and move on.
00:01:19
Speaker
Wow. Wow. What were both of y'all's careers and life like before making that decision? um Basically, i went to college. I grew up in Atlanta, went to college, and then When I got out of college, I got into corporate wellness and stayed in that for years.
00:01:44
Speaker
So that was my main career. And I started off, I actually started off as a stockbroker, but got into recruiting, finance and accounting recruiting, and kind of bounced around a little bit, got into corporate America for about 10 years and then have been running my own firm kind of off and on ever since. And that's what I'm and that's that's what i'm doing now. So I actually do executive executive placement, executive recruiting.
00:02:08
Speaker
So you you it sounds like there was a transition maybe fairly recently, you know, in terms of your jobs. Right. so right so So kind of going back in time a little bit, we actually talked for years about ah seeing this country. Misty's born and raised in Atlanta, never really lived outside out outside of college. I've lived up and down the East Coast, never been to the West Coast. I've been to Colorado a few times.
00:02:34
Speaker
ah So we always talked about, you know, what would it look like if we, you know, everybody talks about doing it when they retire. why Why would we wait till we retire? We may not have the ability. I mean, I'm just like everybody else, my age, my knees hurt, my shoulder hurts.
00:02:50
Speaker
ah like all All these things are creeping up on me. um So one day at at at the at the beginning of last year, ah my job got to the point where I was doing administrative stuff. I wasn't doing what what my talent really is.
00:03:07
Speaker
So ah one of you know one of the things that you guys mentioned was was being unfulfilled. I was unfulfilled at at the at the time. And it was one of those, God, you know what what should we do?
00:03:18
Speaker
So one day i got a call. from my fourth boss in in three and a half years, and he said, we don't need you anymore. And I'm going, okay, well, you know, that's a shock. I'm kind of disappointed, but you know at the same time, okay, well, maybe that's a blessing.
00:03:33
Speaker
An hour and a half later, my wife, who's worked at the same company for 14 years, got her call and said, we're closing down the company.
The Catalyst: Job Loss
00:03:41
Speaker
You're out of a job. And then we're looking at each other going,
00:03:43
Speaker
what what do What do we do now? And in ah in a month before I had actually i was putting Christmas stuff away and fell through the ceiling and I didn't fall the way through, but I fell to the ceiling in my house. So we were renovating our house.
00:03:56
Speaker
So we weren't necessarily we were kind of should we sell it Should we not sell it? And then then when this happened, we were like, let's sell it you know, and then they we're like then then what do we do? Well, we're about to drop our son off at college. why don't we what why Why don't we think about, you know, maybe we'll travel a little bit and everything else. And then it kind of turned into this, why why not just travel everywhere?
00:04:18
Speaker
You know, why do we have to settle down and buy a house? So that really kind of took our life in a completely different direction. Again, it's And it wasn't us making decision as much as it felt it felt like God was going, go do it. Look, look at what I've created. you know, there's so, so many sites and we're actually in Winter Park, Colorado right now.
00:04:36
Speaker
um And and last last week, and it's been 50 degrees here most weekends. Last weekend, we got eight inches of snow and we were, we were skiing on the mountain. So it's just like, everything's kind of happening for a reason at this point.
00:04:49
Speaker
Well, let's, let's go back to your, what you mentioned about the, you know the phone call i mean you know rarely have i heard of a a husband and her wife getting the call on the exact same day let alone within a two-hour span so right is this is this did you both think that this was a very clear sign from the lord or were you just in shock for a little while well Basically, before this happened, when Scott fell through the ceiling, we were kind of forced to start fixing up the house.
00:05:23
Speaker
And that got our discussion going because you can't just do one thing. You know, one thing rolls into another, or rolls into, you know. So we started talking and, you know, I really started praying and asking God, can you can you just give us an obvious sign whether we should stay or go?
00:05:42
Speaker
and boy, did we get one.
00:05:46
Speaker
guys i was I was initially shocked. I mean, I took, you know, when something like this happens, you take it personally. Like, like what like what what could I have done differently? And and and in fact, and mike again, my fourth boss was on the phone for maybe 15, 20 seconds, said what he had to do and jumped off the phone. so I'm sitting with HR and my first thought was, you know what, I'm just going to vent.
00:06:08
Speaker
And then I started thinking, what's what's the point? Like, it's not the HR person's
Faith and Reflection
00:06:13
Speaker
fault. And the company is in, you know, is I've, I did what I came in to do for three, for three plus years, uh, help them build a leadership team. It is, you know, it was humming. Everything was great.
00:06:26
Speaker
I did my job too. Well, I guess is probably, it's probably a way it's probably kind of the way to look at it. Um, but after thinking about that, uh, I just, i kind of stepped off and I'm like, okay, well, you know what, I'll just concentrate on building the house. And then Missy got her call and I'm like,
00:06:40
Speaker
This just can't this can't be coincidence. You know, it's it's it's out of left field. Yeah. And the woman that I worked with ah for all those years, I kind of fell off the radar at during COVID.
00:06:55
Speaker
And I really didn't hear from her. And when I would hear from her, she would just, you know, hey, is everything going OK? And I'm like, yeah, everything's great. And then that was it. And when I finally got the phone call, she said, Hey, and there was an hour and a you know, hour, hour and a half after his call, you know, she said, well, I'm going to retire. So yeah, that's it. You're done.
00:07:16
Speaker
Wow. i like I think it probably you took us another, another week to really start firming up. Okay. You know, this, this is, this, this is meant to be what we're doing. I call, I called my, uh, my old partner and he was in, he was kind of in the same position going, why, why don't we get the band back together and start sort kind of our entrepreneurial opportunity. And that's, and you know, here, you know, here we are on our seventh place, I think.
00:07:43
Speaker
Something like that. um, so Absolutely. Well, and both of y'all have such a breadth of experience. And so what helped y'all face the unexpected in this season? And what has helped y'all in the transition from such a season of focus um on career to ah a different focus? What has helped y'all make that transition?
00:08:05
Speaker
I think um i I know I'm good at what I do. um i know i know the conversations that I've had with people. I know my network is strong. I know that ah that I've got the opportunity to do things that other people can't necessarily do. So again, starting my own company, out I've done this twice already.
00:08:27
Speaker
And then Corporate America kind of knocked on my door and said, hey, i would like to come help us build an executive recruiting function? So it's it's like, it's it's and it always seems like It's being presented to me just at the right time ah for for for whatever reason.
00:08:43
Speaker
ah So it's I guess it's really our our faith, our belief that that God's always going, you know, God's always got his plan. ah We've we've got our plan, but God always seems to.
00:08:55
Speaker
to derail it. you know for For us, when we were in our house, we were thinking, okay, well we're gonna fix it up a little, stay here until the kids get out of college, and then then maybe. And then all of a sudden, it's like we both lose our opportunity, lose our jobs, and we're we're just like, okay, well, I think God's going There's no safety net.
Reactions and Freedom
00:09:13
Speaker
Just go. just Just start doing what you know how to do and get and and get back to it. so And I'm always an an optimist. i've I've always been very ah bright bright bright side of the of the of the of the moon. So i always i always try to look for the positives in everything that happens.
00:09:33
Speaker
This is important for all job seekers to to hear this though, right? Is that this faith in action. You know, James talks about this very clearly, right? with Faith without works is dead. And I think there's a lot of people out there today that are in their job, that are unfulfilled, like you were, both of you in a sense, right? And they're sitting there today thinking, gosh, I wish I could do something different or wish I could do something else.
00:09:59
Speaker
So maybe maybe walk us through kind of what what would you say to those people who are just sitting there unfulfilled, not quite sure what to do? They want to take a step of faith, but what would be a practical way to do that?
00:10:12
Speaker
um I would first say pray about it. i mean, spend some time, talk to God and and see what, you know, see what comes into your heart. See you see if he speaks to you.
00:10:23
Speaker
ah Just in general, you know, something like we were talking talking about, something might come up that was unexpected. You know, be be very aware of of opportunities that are, you know, available to you.
00:10:38
Speaker
um And then, you know, Scott and I were talking about this the other day, you know, networking helps. um There's a lot of different things you can do to um kind of push things forward.
00:10:51
Speaker
I think you have to look for the signs also. you know but most Most people, they're they're getting signs every day, but they ignore them. They don't see them. they're They're walking away from them. and I think that's what we were doing up until we both kind of got the news the same day. It's finally like, okay, if I have to go this far to tell you to do this, then then then then that's what's going to happen.
00:11:13
Speaker
Life's too short. you life's too short To be unhappy at what you do, go go find what you love. you know there's there's There's all kinds of opportunities out there. This that this is probably, especially in our country, in the US, this is the greatest country on the planet. you know it's there's There's just so much opportunity to do really, just about anything you can imagine at this point.
00:11:39
Speaker
When one door closes, another one usually opens.
Marriage and Travel Adventures
00:11:43
Speaker
um I'm curious on another on another note on this. ah What did your friends and family and other people think about, you know, you taking this step, right? Even coworkers, people that you worked with, right?
00:11:59
Speaker
And it's not every day that comes somebody comes and says, yeah, we're just going sell everything and hit the road. So what was their stance on it? Um, our friends were very sad to sleep, see us go because we were in the same neighborhood for 22 years and it was hard, hard on them.
00:12:18
Speaker
Uh, but I've actually spoken to most of my friends. I mean, the, the cell phone is a great item to use to keep in touch with people. So we've been able to keep in touch.
00:12:29
Speaker
Our family thought we were a little bit crazy. And then along the way, when we've had conversations with different people, there's been a mixed reaction. i think my favorite reaction was, i would never do that, but good luck to you.
00:12:45
Speaker
but it It's been a mix. Yeah. And I think I've got, I think i've had a few people that, that, that came back to, Again, questioning why we're doing this.
00:12:57
Speaker
and and ah and And almost almost from a jealousy standpoint, you can't keep doing this. You've got to settle down. and And my response is, I don't. You know, you you you get in this rhythm. But we were in the same house for 22 years.
00:13:11
Speaker
We did the same thing. We just went to the same grocery store. We went to the same movie theater. We went to the same the same restaurant. And it's just you kind of, you know we love our friends. We love spending time with our friends. But, we i mean, we see our friends once or twice a month.
00:13:23
Speaker
ah But now, again, if if you've seen the places we've been, the things we've seen, mean, we're sharing this with our friends as well. it's almost like we're trying to bring them with us in and actually you know helping helping them understand there's there's more out there. So we're we're we're just we're not conforming to what we're supposed to be doing right now.
00:13:43
Speaker
Right. Yeah, i I love that. And y'all's story of truly taking what can be some of the worst days and making the most out of it and choosing a different path. Can y'all tell us more about like what that experience has really been like for y'all? Y'all gave us a glimpse, but tell us like since that day and since moving, like what have you enjoyed most and what has been like the most life giving that you'd like to share with others?
00:14:07
Speaker
So as far as traveling, as far as selling the house and and getting on the road, ah that was an enormous, unusual change.
00:14:18
Speaker
ah because usually you're moving from a house into another house. But we moved all of our things into storage. And then we took our necessities and put them into a couple of those target those big target boxes ah and put all of our you know essentials into those. And we call them the beach boxes, because for one of the first big trips we took was to the beach.
00:14:43
Speaker
So we we are renting these Airbnbs, going from place to place, ah staying and usually for a month, sometimes a little less, sometimes a little bit more.
00:14:53
Speaker
ah As far as adjustment, um I would say that, you know, we really realized what our marriage was about. ah you You've got to have a very strong marriage to do this together because there are definitely some stresses involved.
00:15:09
Speaker
90% has been has been Wonderful. It's been wonderful. It's been no responsibility for our own house.
00:15:21
Speaker
ah You know, no, but aside from having to take care of our SUV that we travel in. It's been amazing. Yeah. so i So I work Monday through Friday and i'm and I'm sitting in this chair staring at this computer, having the phone calls and all those things. But Saturday and Sunday, it's it's exploring.
00:15:41
Speaker
You know, again, ah Winter Park is amazing. Nashville was amazing. St. Louis was amazing. Like like each Kansas City... Who knew Kansas City was actually a very interesting town? I mean, there's so much to do, and it's it's it's kind of one of those best-kept secrets. um it's just It's a fantastic little ah little town, and if you've ever been kind of in those little clicky places in – ah In the big cities like like Atlanta, we we we call it Virginia Highlands. It's a lot like kind of those little clicky cities.
00:16:12
Speaker
yeah But but to have those experiences and we're and we're running into people, too. You know, miss my my wife has the gift of gab. ah So so she so she's never met a stranger. So so the so the conversations that we're having.
00:16:25
Speaker
A lot of times it it it kind of focuses back around around to God. um ah So so it's you know we we ah she actually met, um I should probably let her tell this story, but but we actually ran across, we we were in a grocery store in in in Kansas City.
00:16:40
Speaker
and And I noticed that if you got one of these, you know, whatever loyalty cards, you could save whatever whatever money was off off groceries. And the guy's like, we need need to go over here to the counter. Well, miss Missy, ah i'll I'll let her tell this story.
00:16:54
Speaker
I actually had on this necklace and then I had, I had on my cross necklace and then I had on a heart necklace that my son had given me and i i see hearts everywhere.
00:17:06
Speaker
I used to draw them all the time. um That was my doodle was were hearts and I just see them everywhere. and And we walked up to the counter and this woman we'd never met, we're we're just getting a card. And ah this woman we'd never met looks at my necklace and she says, I see hearts everywhere. And I said,
00:17:29
Speaker
Excuse me. ah she she went into this whole story of how her husband had passed away. And ever since he passed away, she's been seeing hearts, including my necklace.
00:17:42
Speaker
And it got we got into a big conversation about God. And that must be your husband saying hello. It was great. That's incredible. That would not have happened. I mean, that would not have happened.
00:17:53
Speaker
You wouldn't have been in the store. no but if point And we've had we've had similar conversations. Well, she's had more civil similar conversations with with with people we've met in church. And one of things we're trying to do, too, is is trying out the the different churches and the different areas.
Faith and Advice
00:18:07
Speaker
One of the things I haven't been able to figure out yet, which which I do want to do, is is start volunteering and in some of these places where where we are now as well. It's a little harder. I'm sorry. It's a lot harder than I thought it would be.
00:18:18
Speaker
um But ah hopefully as we kind of get into Denver and some of the other places, we can actually, you know, again, um start giving some of our time back to the to these neighborhoods. And our daughters in Denver right now are going to go to college.
00:18:32
Speaker
um And we want our kids to see these things. You know, it's not it's it's not it's not just about our lives, but it's kind of impacting the lives that that we created as well. Yeah, the impact, you're you're looking for that impact of both your kids, but well, also co-workers, right? I mean, Scott, you're working with people all the time.
00:18:49
Speaker
and They're asking you probably what? Like, where are you at this week? Or what's going on, I'm guessing, right? And so that gives you a great opportunity to share about experiences you've had, these God encounters, right?
00:19:02
Speaker
And I think the cool thing about your your eyes and story is God will use you anywhere. It doesn't matter how far you are. It doesn't matter if you're in the islands in the middle of nowhere. yeah God will bring people to you, right? And probably job seekers as well, right?
00:19:19
Speaker
Do you have any examples of some job seekers you've run into in these places? People yeah unfulfilled, not quite knowing what to do, maybe unemployed. Yeah, i don't I don't know that we've done that as as much. um I think that, you know, I should say this. We've we've told the story. we've We've kind of lived it. I don't know that necessarily it's impacted necessarily anybody at this point. We did run across a gentleman at at the beach with a dog um ah that that had a a slew of health problems, and and he was
00:19:54
Speaker
ah He was very inspirational and, again, turned into a turn into a big God story. um But, I mean, ah hopefully some of the conversations that I'm having with with some of these hiring managers, with with with some of these candidates, I hope it does impact what what they're what they're thinking. Again, we're we're we're all trained to...
00:20:13
Speaker
ah We're all trained to do things a certain way. you know you You work nine to five, you buy a house, you stay in the same place, your kids go to school, you retire in the same community. And we're we're just we're we're kind of shattering that a little bit. And again, we have people all the time that are going, we we wouldn't do that. I mean, that's that it doesn't make any sense.
00:20:34
Speaker
One the things that I like about Scott, like one of the things that I admire is that he is reaching out and talking to different people on a constant, just on you know all day, every day.
00:20:47
Speaker
And it's i' love when he takes you know he works with people and takes them from one position that maybe they didn't even realize how unhappy they were until he starts to talk to them. And he's he never pushes.
00:21:04
Speaker
He never, he's just, he's not, he's not that guy. He's not Mr. Salesman. He is, Hey, I've got this over here and here's what it includes. And really they start thinking about it and they, they call him back and Hey, wait a minute.
00:21:19
Speaker
That sounds lot better than what I have now. So it's really, it's really fun to listen to him sometimes. And we'll talk about, he'll be on the phone and he'll, you know, they've agreed on everything and he'll call them and I'll say, Hey, um you know, I'm so sorry. I wasn't able to get you what you wanted. And, and this is like him joking around. He's got a sense of humor.
00:21:42
Speaker
Then they'll say, oh Oh, okay. Well, well, what did you get? And he'll say, well, I got more. and so it's just really fun. kind of that And we're, we're so blessed that he's, he's been able to do his job as we've been traveling because, you know, he can work from home and that that's not,
00:22:02
Speaker
at all available to most people. And we realize this is a very unusual, very unique situation. Well, and I think it's incredible to see God working through just like the genuine care that you have for people, Scott, and then Missy, the the genuine care you have for people too, but that shines a little differently through both of y'all's giftings and situations as you travel and as you work. And Oftentimes the impact is hidden to us, but God knows what he's doing. and maybe one day we'll get to see it, but we get to trust that he's having an immense impact beyond what we even know. um So we do trust that.
Embracing Change
00:22:37
Speaker
Is there any advice that you would give to people if they're like, man, I want to do this. They probably don't want to experience, you know, maybe the pain of it, but like if they want to do this or want to shatter a mold,
00:22:50
Speaker
and take a different path. Is there any advice that y'all would have for them or advice for them to position themselves in a place that they could? Well, that's a it's a difficult it's a difficult question because, again, people like to be comfortable.
00:23:05
Speaker
and And I mean, we were very comfortable in our house. Our neighbors, I mean, we we lived on on the best streets. We had the best neighbors. ah You know, just every everything was going exactly how life is supposed to go.
00:23:18
Speaker
so so the So the hardest thing is is is is taking the chance. um so the So the first thing we did was actually head over to the East Coast to the beach for six weeks.
00:23:30
Speaker
and and it and it And it was okay. We're not too far away from home. but we're But we're just far enough. and we're And we're close to our son in case our son decides he doesn't want to go. He doesn't, you know, he's not going to do very well in college. He wants to go. He wants to come see us or something.
00:23:43
Speaker
But um it's it's taken it's taken that initial step and and just and just trying to trying to figure out, is is this working? You know, what what what could we have done different? And we did we did we did discuss, you know, we maybe what we should do is, you know, buy a house and kind of kind of settle down. But we had such an experience and those in those six weeks at the beach ah and just, you know, watching the sun rises, watching and just talking to the people walking along the beach.
00:24:12
Speaker
I mean, every afternoon, as soon as soon as I was essentially clocked out, we were walking along the beach for for for for a couple of miles. We actually had our head our dog at the at at the at the time as well. And I mean, the dog just the dog's a water dog. So it's one of these big labs.
00:24:27
Speaker
So just again, it inspired us to to to just to just keep going. and And our whole intention was to get here to Colorado to to see our daughter ah and then and then not not sure where we're going to go from there. But now now our thought is we're going to see further. you know where Where else should we go? Now now we're thinking the the yeah Yellowstone National Park, ah the California coast. you know why Why not do this? If I if i get good Wi-Fi someplace,
00:24:57
Speaker
um i can I can do my job just about just about anywhere. so and And again, its it's we're we're trying not to make this about us.
00:25:08
Speaker
ah we we are We are getting out there. We are talking to people. We are experiencing things. ah So it's... it's That first step is the hardest to to actually to actually kind of separate you see yourself from your friends and and everything else.
00:25:23
Speaker
But there's so much of this country that I've never seen, that my wife's never seen, that that you know most Americans never see, ah that it's it's worth taking a step. It's a year out of our lives.
00:25:36
Speaker
away from everybody. And it's not like friends are just going to fall off. In in fact, to Misty's point, a lot of her friends are are even closer now than they were when we were when we were there.
00:25:48
Speaker
So, you know, they they you know you you start taking things for granted when you when when when you get into a routine. and And, you know, for us, every Every day, i think we're we're kind of into our third week here.
00:26:02
Speaker
Every time we walk outside, we see these mountains, the Rockies. We're like, this is amazing. This is absolutely amazing. So otherwise, we'd we'd be sitting in Roswell, Georgia going, eh, there's that guy. There's the store. there's yeah it's incredible to hear what God has done as you all have taken the uncomfortable and the risky step and seeing what he's done and what y'all have gotten to do with a different capacity when you're not managing the traditional things and you get to use your time and energy and talents towards other things. And so Missy, do you have anything to add to that for the advice portion?
00:26:39
Speaker
um I would say that life does not stop, even when we want it to. It just keeps going.
00:26:50
Speaker
And what happens, I mean, we still, we met when I was 22 and he was 25. Okay. Well, we still feel like we're 22 and 25. It doesn't feel like we're in our fifties now.
00:27:01
Speaker
So we have two grown kids and, you know, just all these things. um we got a, I'm just going to try to make this really quick. We got a confirmation that we did the right thing ah from two friends of ours who ah two weeks after they had moved um her husband and they are young.
00:27:23
Speaker
they're They're late fifties, early sixties. Her husband had an aneurysm and yeah, terrible. And praise God, praise God. He was a Delta pilot.
00:27:35
Speaker
He, recovered 100% with all the prayers we sent out. Y'all, I cannot believe that six weeks in the hospital tubes coming out of his head, the whole nine yard surgery, you lose something when you know, things like that happen.
00:27:53
Speaker
i I had sent them a care package. And what do you know, all of a sudden, and we're getting pictures on Facebook that they're at Disney. And they're doing great. But Those little things like we don't know what's going to happen in our 60s. We don't know what's going to happen in our 70s. This may be the only opportunity we have. We have one parent left on both sides. And then we've offered to take care of our neighbor who was like a third grandmother to our kids.
00:28:22
Speaker
And they're all in their 80s, basically, and still doing OK. But how long is that going to last? And we're going to need to step in at some point to help them. So this was really our opportunity to do something.
00:28:35
Speaker
And i mean, i basically we don't want to stop at this point.

Yeah, it definitely is.
00:29:34
Speaker
And I would say God will always provide opportunities or options and just pray about it. That was our biggest.
00:29:45
Speaker
The prayer was the thing that got us where we are. Right. because it because it Because when everything happened, it just made sense. Right. it was It was like yeah we prayed about it. And it in and even i think she's more accepting than I am. Even when it first happened, I'm just like, are you sure that's what he's saying? But it's kind of aligned to the point where, you know, there's no alternative. Let's let's let's just let's start this and and see where it takes us.
