Life Fulfilled Podcast — Because Work Shouldn’t Drain Your Life

Hosted by Bernie Borges | Founder, Fulfilled@Work Academy

Most people don’t realize it, but career struggles often bleed into every part of life: your health, relationships, energy, and sense of purpose. If you feel stuck at work, burned out, or quietly wondering, “Is this it?” you’re in the right place.

On the Life Fulfilled Podcast, Bernie Borges helps you decode where fulfillment is missing and how to get it back. While two-thirds of our episodes dive into career and workplace topics like engagement, quiet quitting, leadership, and burnout, we never lose sight of the full picture. We also explore how emerging forces like AI are reshaping the workplace and what it means for your role, your growth, and your sense of purpose.

Because fulfillment doesn’t happen in isolation. It happens across five interconnected life pillars: health, fitness, career, relationships, and legacy.

Through solo insights and expert guest conversations, Bernie brings practical tools to help you reclaim purpose and clarity, especially at work. As the creator of the Fulfillment Centric Leadership™ Framework, he equips professionals and business leaders to create meaningful, energizing careers without sacrificing the rest of their lives.

Whether you’re leading a team or leading your own comeback, subscribe now to learn how to build a life fulfilled, starting where you spend most of your time: at work.

Life Fulfilled Podcast — Because Work Shouldn’t Drain Your Life

Ep 60 Finding Fulfillment in Midlife Through Serving and Giving

March 06, 2023 • Bernie Borges • Season 1 • Episode 60

In this BF (before fulfillment) to AF (after fulfillment) episode, Mike McKeown shares his transition from a focus on traditional things like career, family, and finances to living a life pleasing to God.

Mike wants to leave a lasting impact, and he discovered true fulfillment by doing what his creator has gifted him with.

Here are the key points we discussed:

Mike's goal was to build up a spiritual heritage and leave a legacy. He read the book "Die Broke" in 1993, which encouraged him to spend his money making memories and helping others. He realized that true fulfillment comes from doing what your creator has gifted you with. He didn't want to be on his deathbed wishing he had spent more time living life with God's purpose.
Mike started a ministry with a friend called BibleBagMinistry.org, where he gives out Bible bags to people and meets their needs by giving out blankets, hats, and food.
Mike encourages everyone to do their own research and come to their own conclusion about the existence of God, the truth of the Bible, and the resurrection of Jesus.

Mike's story is an inspiration to anyone who is searching for fulfillment and purpose in life. He found his purpose by serving and giving to others, and by living a life pleasing to God.

As you listen to this episode think about how you're living your life according to the gifts given to you by your creator.
