Rebuilding after losing everything

What happens when the drive that built your career is the same force that nearly breaks your life?

In this episode, I sit down with Owen Reader, founder of Indelible, to talk about burnout, bankruptcy, identity collapse, and what it really takes to rebuild when everything falls apart.

Owen shares how chasing impact and legacy led to exhaustion and disruption — and how hitting bottom forced a complete reset. We explore the uncomfortable truth about fear, why most of what we’re afraid of never materializes, and how courage isn’t a personality trait — it’s a practice.

In this conversation, we unpack:

What burnout actually reveals about your priorities

How to rebuild after financial and relational collapse

Why fear can become a compass, not a stop sign

The discipline of taking one step forward when hope feels thin

How to live “all in” instead of circling the life you want

You’re not alone in the collapse.

And you’re not stuck there either.
