Episode 78: 20 Years After West Point with Tim Eng (Part 2) - Taking a Different Path

In this powerful continuation of Tim’s return to West Point, he takes listeners deeper into the halls, fields, and memories that shaped him as a young cadet. Revisiting these places twenty years later opened up a surprising reflection on purpose, identity, and calling. Walk with Tim through Bradley Barracks, the new library, and the charged atmosphere of a Corps football game. Follow him into Arvin Gym, where the echoes of the IOCT and the sharp chlorine drifting from Crandall Pool brought back the intensity of survival swimming classes and the pressure he once pushed through as a young leader in training. As he reconnects with classmates, many now Full Bird Colonels, Tim gains new clarity on the path he ultimately chose. This episode explores the truth Tim discovered: the leadership forged at the Academy did not lead him into the career he once imagined. Instead, it became the foundation for the life he built in homesteading, lending, real estate, and serving veterans across all 50 states. It is a story of ambition, redirection, and learning to appreciate the unexpected ways a calling can unfold. At the heart of the episode is one question: If Tim could do it all over again, would he still choose West Point? Listen in as he shares the answer and what it means for anyone navigating their own path of service and purpose. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Interested in learning more about home buying?
