GREENVILLE, SC — When Brian Caruso’s business closed and his 200 job applications went unanswered, he found himself facing a profound silence—not just from employers, but from the life he had built. Out of that experience, he created Wayfinder Convergence, a new website launching today that offers personalized orientation reports for adults standing at life’s thresholds.
Caruso and his wife had co-run a business for nearly 15 years before relocating to Greenville, South Carolina, to start over. The new venture failed in under two years, nearly costing them their house. While his wife found a second career in higher education, Caruso applied to more than 200 jobs with no success. “There is a kind of silence that comes after a business ends. Not the dramatic kind. The worse kind,” he said. “The kind where you still have to make dinner, answer emails, parent your child, keep your marriage alive, pay the mortgage, and somehow carry the burden that something you believed in did not land.”
From that despair, Caruso began exploring frameworks like astrology, Human Design, Gene Keys, and numerology. He found them individually useful but ultimately incomplete. “Almost none of it told me what to do with Monday morning, or spoke to me from my lived experience,” he said. Over hundreds of hours, he developed a methodology that converges five systems—Western Astrology, Vedic Astrology, Human Design, Gene Keys, and Numerology—into a single written report. Unlike most platforms that generate reports from a birth date alone, Wayfinder requires a detailed intake form where clients share their lived experience, current crossroads, and specific questions. That biographical data is woven into the report, making each one bespoke.
The launch arrives as millions of adults wrestle with similar questions. On Reddit, communities like r/findapath and r/midlifecrisis have become crowded with daily posts about career stalls and identity loss. Broader data supports this trend. According to the AARP Public Policy Institute, citing U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data from May 2026, 38.4% of unemployed workers age 55+ have been job-hunting long-term (27+ weeks), compared with 26.6% of jobseekers aged 16–54—nearly 1.5 times the rate. A Forbes report from April 2025, citing survey data from SideHustles.com, found that half of all U.S. workers are actively considering changing industries, with Gen X leading at 57%.
Wayfinder Convergence positions itself as an orientation instrument, not therapy, medical advice, or prediction. “You are not lost. The terrain has shifted,” Caruso said. “The collapses were not proof that I was lost. They were the terrain that built the guide.” The service offers four tiers: Wayfinder Diagnostic ($500) for a 6-page report with a 15-minute session; Wayfinder Life ($1,000) for a 12-page guide with a 30-minute session; Wayfinder Extended ($2,000) for a 35-page report with a 60-minute session; and Wayfinder Career ($1,250) for a 16-page career-focused report with a 30-minute session. The platform is available at WayfinderConvergence.com.
