What if the reason your life hasn’t changed yet isn’t because it’s too late but because you haven’t said YES to yourself?

In this powerful episode of Reinvention Real Talk, I sit down with Ron Stein author of Say YES! to Own Your Success, transformational business leader, former Wall Street strategist, Hollywood producer, real estate developer, and AI consultant for a deep, soul-stirring conversation about reinvention, courage, and personal power.

Ron’s journey spans industries most people only dream of, but his message is refreshingly human: success doesn’t come from waiting it comes from deciding. Together, Karen and Ron unpack what it truly means to reinvent your life after 40, overcome fear and self-doubt, and step into a proactive mindset that creates momentum at any stage of life.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

• Why “YES” is the most dangerous—and transformative—word you can say

• How to break free from victim thinking and reclaim personal responsibility

• The biggest mindset blocks keeping high-achievers stuck in midlife

• Why reinvention after 40 is actually more powerful, not harder

• How to grieve the life you thought you’d have while building the one you want

• What Hollywood, Wall Street, and AI reveal about modern success and relevance

• The difference between real authority and performative success

• How to make aligned decisions even when fear is loud

Ron also shares insights from his Virtual Success Summit, included with every copy of his book, and offers a final message that may be exactly what you need if you’re standing at the edge of your next chapter.

If you’re questioning your career, identity, purpose, or next move—and wondering if reinvention is still possible this episode will shift your perspective and ignite your courage.
