This week we’re bringing you a series of five episodes we always point to when people ask what Second Act Stories is all about. These “Unbelievable All-Stars” all have one thing in common: they exemplify what we’re looking for in an incredible Second Act Story. Whether you’re a longtime listener or brand new to the show, these episodes bring together the stories that best capture the heart of the podcast: bold choices, hard-earned wisdom, and journeys that continue to surprise and inspire.
Amy Siewe is the quintessential embodiment of how passion drives a second act.
She left a safe and lucrative career as a real estate broker to hunt pythons in the Everglades.
She proudly shares that she’s 5’ 4”, 120 lbs., and captures pythons as big as 180 lbs. by physically jumping on them and wrestling them into submission.
This is what pure passion looks like.
In this fascinating episode, Amy shares what motivated her to leave a relatively safe career selling real estate to become The Python Huntress.
In this wild ride, she shares how she became so interested in snakes, unbelievable accounts of actual hunts, how she built a business out of hunting pythons, why her role is necessary, and which of her two careers is more stressful.
