#410 Sande Golgart: Climbing the Wrong M...

Vince Chan
About this episode

After decades of chasing external wins, Sande Golgart decided to stop running. In Part Two, he shares the uncomfortable, intentional work of stepping back—what it took to unplug from achievement addiction and start redesigning a life that fits from the inside out.

This isn’t a story about reinvention through ambition. It’s a blueprint for growth through subtraction: less noise, more clarity; fewer roles, deeper connection; no hustle, just truth. From mending his marriage to redefining success, Sande opens up about what he calls “Life Peels”—and why letting go is the new way up.

Key Highlights of Our Interview:

Listening Over Learning

“I wasn’t trying to fix anything. I just got quiet and listened.”**

Sande explains how stepping back from self-optimization gave him the clarity he had missed for years.

The Life Peels Method

“David was always in the marble. Michelangelo just removed what wasn’t him.”**

He introduces his philosophy of growth by subtraction—peeling away the excess to uncover what truly fits.

When Growth Isn’t More

“I’ve had enough of strategy decks and hero stories. I want to feel ease in my own skin.”**

Why he redefined ambition not as stacking wins but as feeling aligned, grounded, and whole.

Relearning Partnership

“When the noise died down, we both realized we’d never had stillness before.”**

How the transition to an empty nest revealed unspoken gaps in his marriage—and led to new connection.

Letting Life Lead

“I used to control everything. Now I just pay attention—and things unfold better than I planned.”**

What happened when he stopped pushing for outcomes and started trusting the process.
