What if your next bold move wasn’t about climbing higher—but going deeper into what truly matters?
In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Montse Barcelo Riera—a seasoned clinical research leader who made a radical shift after 30+ years in pharma. What sparked the change? A personal crisis involving her father’s health. What followed was a powerful awakening—and a completely new mission in elder care and the silver economy.
We talk about what it takes to follow purpose over prestige, the courage to leave the familiar behind, and why your career evolution doesn’t have an expiration date.
Montse opens up about how she makes hard decisions, what it means to lead with integrity, and the one question she always asks herself before any big leap.
Whether you’re mid-career, shifting lanes, or just feeling the nudge to grow—this one’s for you.
Key takeaways:
– Reinvention is possible at any stage
– Your purpose might emerge from personal experience– Trusted voices matter when making bold choices
– The silver economy is a rising space for innovation and care
