What Happens When You Walk Away?

Ken Rideout, elite athlete and author, sits down with James Davies, founder of The Thyme, to explore what it means to step away from a life built on achievement and intensity.

What happens when the life you worked so hard to build stops being the life you want?

In this conversation, Ken Rideout sits down with founder James “Jet” Davies, a former high-finance executive who stepped away from a world defined by intensity, achievement, and relentless momentum.

They talk about success and identity, the pull of reinvention, and what it takes to leave behind a version of yourself that once made perfect sense.

It’s a conversation about the space between ambition and meaning. About listening when something inside you says it’s time for a change. And about discovering that walking away isn’t necessarily giving something up.

Sometimes, it’s how you find your way back.

Running Deep, a retreat led Tony Riddle and James Davies at The Thyme, takes place September 18-20. Join us.
