Everyone Has a Plan Until They Get Punched in the Face – Mike Tyson
Retirement isn’t just a finish line—it’s a fight you didn’t see coming. In this episode of Blah, Blah, Blah…Something Wellness, host Tami Sharp sits down with Angela Harrolle, Paul Pantani, Mark Rendahl, and Chris Zamora for a real, unscripted look at what happens when life doesn’t go according to plan.
From early-career blind spots and unexpected pivots to rediscovering purpose after the badge, this roundtable is a powerful reminder that flexibility, mindset, and connection are what keep you standing when the hits come.
