Douglas Wasdyke on Burnout, Leadership and Finding Your “Second Service”

 On this episode of My Life Now, Chris Buscher speaks with chef, leadership architect, and author Douglas Wasdyke about Heard: Last Call for “Second Service.”After 45 years in professional kitchens, Douglas was forced to stop working after losing the use of his left arm. The sudden change challenged an identity built around long hours, physical skill, pressure, and the demands of the kitchen.In this conversation, Douglas explains how that experience led him to rethink leadership, discipline, purpose, and what it means to begin again.We discuss ideas from the book including the “Doctrine of the Scar,” the “86 List,” mise en place for life, taking ownership of your station, and the concept of “Second Service.”This is a conversation for anyone who has burned out, broken down, been forced to change direction, or is trying to figure out what comes next.Get the book today on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0H2N6GD9NConnect with the author at scarredpalettemedia.net
