If you had no experience doing something until your mid-40s, would you think that thing would become your life’s calling

Well, that’s exactly what happened to Ron Hoffman.

After getting shot by his abusive father at just 10 years old, getting into drugs as an adult and moving from relationship to relationship and job to job, Ron had no clue taking a catering job in Cape Cod, Mass., for a man named Gordon Heald would completely change the outlook of his life.

In the summer of 1997, Gordon unfortunately developed ALS, or Lou Gehrig’s disease, and he asked Ron to be his caretaker.

Knowing nothing about ALS, Ron accepted the job, and cared for Gordon until he passed away the following year.

Ron carried on Gordon’s legacy with a foundation Gordon set up.

More than two decades later, Ron has taken what’s now called Compassionate Care ALS nationwide, and the organization has served more than 2,600 people.

Ron is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to showing compassion and serving others, and if you work any job that involves relationships - AKA every job - then you’re going to want to tune in.

And if you feel it’s too late for you or there’s no hope, you’re absolutely going to want to listen as Ron talks about what it takes to find your life’s calling after 40.
