George Appling, a former executive with a million-dollar net worth, traded his high-powered career for a life dedicated to his passions.
At 40, he decided to pursue his love for medieval fairs, founding the Sherwood Forest Faire in Texas.
Appling's passion project has grown into a thriving business, including a mead company, weapon and armor sales, castle rentals, and even a summer camp for kids.
He believes that finding joy in your work is the key to a fulfilling life, and hopes to leave a lasting legacy with his medieval fair.
