Ep. 111 Dr. Larry Coia, The VALUES that guide a life of Reinvention
/What does it mean to be great at something? And how do we know when it's time to pursue something different?
Dr. Larry Coia has followed an extraordinary path—from physics to radiation oncology to becoming a pioneer of New Jersey's modern wine industry.
With more than 45 years of experience growing grapes, Larry has helped shape viticulture in New Jersey. But his professional accomplishments are only part of the story.
In this episode of The Value of Values Podcast, Larry reflects on the principles that have guided him through remarkably different chapters of his life: truth, knowledge, kindness, and a commitment to helping others.
Our conversation explores the ethical challenges that arise when financial incentives conflict with professional responsibilities, the importance of continuing to learn, and the relationship between personal values and the choices we make.
Along the way, we consider a question that extends well beyond any one profession:
Do our values shape the paths we choose, or do the paths we choose help us discover our values?
A conversation about excellence, ethics, curiosity, and the pursuit of a meaningful life.
