Have you ever wondered what happens when you finally take your own advice and chase your dreams? Gregg Flowers did exactly that when he and his wife Sarah left their comfortable life in Ohio after 30 years in logistics to start fresh in Fort Myers Beach. Their story isn't just about relocating - it's about reinvention, resilience, and discovering what truly matters.

Gregg's candid conversation takes us through the journey of becoming an "instant local" in a beach paradise, despite arriving just months before Hurricane Ian devastated the area. Rather than regretting their timing, the Flowers found themselves embraced by a community that pulls together in the face of adversity. As Greg puts it, "If you've been here three weeks or three years, as long as you're good people, you become a local just like that."

The heart of this episode explores how leaving behind the corporate world opened doors to unexpected opportunities in marina management and, more importantly, a lifestyle focused on joy rather than just earning a paycheck. Greg shares his personal philosophy—"No shade, just sunshine"—which guides not only his outlook but his mission to inspire others through their own life hurricanes. His powerful insight that "enjoying your job is a lot more important than a paycheck" resonates throughout the conversation.

Listeners will be touched by Gregg's authentic approach to community building and his practical wisdom about appreciating what matters most. From the simple pleasure of watching a free sunset (something "tourists save all year for") to the importance of supporting local businesses, this episode reminds us that paradise isn't just about location—it's about perspective. Ready to rethink what makes a good life? This conversation might just inspire your own journey toward finding your slice of paradise, wherever that may be.
