In the latest episode of Conversations in Depth, host Mike Carlon sits down with Frank Murgalo, master of reinvention, lifelong prankster, and author of My Mid-Life Crisis at 82. With a career that defies any neat category, Murgalo’s story offers a refreshing perspective for professionals looking to pivot, reimagine their path, or simply embrace what comes next.
Known for reinventing himself every 7–8 years, Murgalo has been everything from a Marine reservist to an actor, from a soup entrepreneur to a stand-up comic, from a financial advisor to an Off-Broadway producer. His journey is a study in resilience, curiosity, and finding opportunity in the unexpected.
In this conversation, Frank shares candid lessons on navigating career shifts, overcoming self-doubt, and turning so-called “failures” into springboards. For qualitative researchers contemplating their own next chapter, his approach to adaptability and creative risk-taking resonates deeply. He reminds us that the ability to evolve—whether through reinvention, humor, or sheer persistence—is often the best asset any professional can cultivate.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking inspiration on how to turn career uncertainty into possibility, and how to approach change with curiosity, courage, and a little laughter.
