Transitions rarely follow a script. Many people today are navigating change: returning from a leave of absence, adjusting to new remote or hybrid work policies, stepping into unfamiliar roles, or quietly wondering if their career still fits the life they want to build. For decades, Angel Cruzado worked alongside leaders and employees helping scale both private and publicly traded companies, supporting careers, building development plans, and guiding people through the transitions that come with growth, change, and difficult business decisions.

Then, in September of last year, Angel’s own story took an unexpected turn when he was diagnosed with Stage IV pancreatic cancer. While raising his daughter and continuing to build a company devoted to reinspiring people through career change, he has been navigating one of the most personal transitions of his life. In this deeply human fireside conversation, Angel shares lessons about resilience, purpose, and the courage to remain vulnerable during uncertain moments. He will offer a renewed perspective on how we can rebuild our lives, our careers, and our humanity when everything changes.
