Matt Morizio, former Kansas City Royal catcher/pitcher and founder of Reconstructing Wealth, shares his journey from professional baseball player to financial entrepreneur and father of seven. His story reveals powerful lessons about identity, mental performance, and finding purpose beyond your career.
• Chased professional baseball dream for nearly 20 years before transitioning to "real life"
• Faced homelessness with his wife after being released from the Royals organization
• Learned the counterintuitive skill of playing at 80% rather than 100% for optimal performance
• Discovered the power of visualization and mental preparation too late in his baseball career
• Realized everyone is replaceable after seeing teammates instantly substituted after being released
• Found his identity in faith rather than occupation, unlike many former athletes
• Started his financial planning business at age 40 despite being the sole provider for seven children
• Defines wealth through four buckets: faith, family, fitness, and finally, finance
• Dreams of creating a retreat center where people can find restoration and encouragement
