Vincent Pugliese describes having a life of purpose, meaning and connection in Episode 100

Reaching our 100th episode is a milestone event for me and for Forward From 50.

Today, I have the pleasure of speaking with Vincent Pugliese. He is an entrepreneur, author and coach who has dedicated his career after turning 50 himself to helping others find financial and personal freedom.

Vincent played a pivotal role in the creation of Forward From 50, making him the perfect guest for our 100th episode.

His own journey — from being a disillusioned employee stuck in a limiting career to building a thriving business and embracing a life of purpose — is both relatable and motivating.

In this conversation, Vincent shares powerful insights on how people over 50 can rediscover their passions and build meaningful work on their own terms.

More importantly, he shows how anyone can make extra money by serving others in the new membership economy.

Vincent’s journey from living a life of frustration and financial limitation, to enjoying a life of freedom and fulfillment is a testament to the power of mindset, taking action, and leveraging meaningful connections.

One of the biggest takeaways from today’s discussion is that people over 50 are in an ideal position to create something new, whether it’s a business, a community, or simply a life more aligned with their passions.

Vincent’s advice to focus on connection, embrace creativity, and shift away from a scarcity mindset is truly invaluable.

At Forward From 50, we have been saying since our founding, that any hobby or activity can become a life purpose when it helps someone else. You don’t have to make money to have purpose, just a desire to serve others by utilizing your natural talent, learned skills and unique life experiences.

But, for a variety of reasons, some seasoned citizens find themselves in an unfortunate financial situation, especially when they have to start over from major illnesses, divorce, lost jobs and other unexpected events.

Fortunately, Vincent described ways people can develop recurring income by creating a membership business serving a few dozen people to literally thousands.

  • Freelance to Freedom” lays out his personal journey and provides a roadmap for breaking free from financial constraints imposed by others.
  • The Wealth of Connection” explores the essential role that relationships play in business and life. He’s also offering a free audio version of “The Wealth of Connection,” which you can find at MyMembershipFreedom.com, along with a quiz to see if building a membership-based business is right for you.

Both of Vincent’s books are available on Amazon, too.
