Life Fulfilled Podcast — Ever wonder? “Is this all there is?”
Ever find yourself wondering, “Is this it?”
Yeah, me too. That ache for real, soul-deep fulfillment is exactly why this show exists. A richer life is closer than you think.
I’m Bernie Borges, Founder of the Fulfilled@Work Academy™ and creator of the Fulfillment Centric Leadership™ framework. Every Monday, I bring you real, practical conversations centered around the five pillars of a fully lived life:
- Health – aligning your mind and body to thrive
- Fitness – moving in ways that energize, not exhaust
- Career – loving Mondays again (or finding the courage to pivot)
- Relationships – showing up for the people who matter most
- Legacy – creating a life story you’re proud to tell
Here’s what you’ll experience:
- Honest stories from real people navigating fulfillment in real time
- Solo episodes with lessons I’m learning (and unlearning)
- Insightful guest conversations packed with takeaways you can use now
Tune in if you’re ready to:
- Replace burnout with fresh purpose
- Feel strong—in your body and in your voice
- Recharge (or reinvent) your career
- Rekindle relationships that matter
- Start building a legacy that outlasts you
No matter your age or stage, a more fulfilled life is possible.

Life Fulfilled Podcast — Ever wonder? “Is this all there is?”
Ep 238 Serve. Lead. Leave a Legacy That Outlives You
This week’s episode features an inspiring and vulnerable conversation with Chris Bjorling—business leader, Scout volunteer, church community member, and, above all, a legacy-builder in every part of his life.
Whether you missed our full conversation or want to soak up the key insights, here are three powerful discussion points and one big takeaway that will inspire you to serve, lead, and leave your own lasting legacy.
🔑 3 Key Discussion Points
1️⃣ Legacy Across Life’s Arenas
Chris shared how legacy isn't confined to career milestones. His work with Fidello, dedication to the Boy Scouts, and active role in his church are all connected. He emphasized how our experiences in one area of life can transfer meaningfully to others.
2️⃣ The Ripple Effect of Small Actions
From mentoring Scouts to creating frameworks at work, Chris showed how everyday actions can spark long-term impact, often beyond what we see. He recalled a college project that unexpectedly influenced an entire community years later, reminding us that our smallest contributions often reach further than we imagine.
3️⃣ The Fulfillment of Giving Back
For Chris, fulfillment comes from lifting others up. Whether it's nurturing future leaders, supporting a friend, or watching his children thrive, he finds joy in service.
He even jokes that service can feel “selfish”—because it fills you as you pour into others.
🧭 Main Takeaway
Our greatest impact is often invisible to us—but unforgettable to others.
By reflecting on your own legacy and choosing to serve—at work, at home, and in your community—you unlock a powerful and lasting sense of fulfillment. Legacy isn’t built through grand gestures alone. It’s shaped in everyday moments of kindness, mentorship, and quiet leadership.
