Get Busy Living with Alex Potts
Episode description
Alex Potts helped thousands of people plan for retirement until it was his turn. And like so many of us, he found himself asking what now?
This episode is a special one. Alex isn’t just a respected leader and former CEO. He’s also a longtime friend. We’ve known each other since the ’90s, and I’ve had the privilege of watching him grow into an authentic, grounded, and service-minded leader.
Our conversation explores what it means to live with intention. We talk about resilience, identity, letting go, and how to step into your next chapter with curiosity and purpose.
We discussed:
The money lessons Alex learned when there wasn’t enough
How caregiving redefined what legacy means to him
What the first day after stepping down actually felt like
Why our purpose changes—and how Alex learned to follow it
What a simple “just thinking of you” text can really mean
The movie line that’s guided him for 25 years
