From Burnout To Purpose With Author Scott Lackey

from Vertical Momentum Resiliency Podcast 2.0 · host Richard Kaufman

What if burnout isn’t your breaking point… but your wake-up call?In this unforgettable episode of the Vertical Momentum Resiliency Podcast, I sit down with Army veteran, entrepreneur, Ironman athlete, inventor, and author Scott Lackey to explore how life’s greatest setbacks can become the foundation for your greatest comeback. After serving in the military, building and losing multimillion-dollar businesses, crossing Ironman finish lines, and confronting the emptiness that success alone couldn’t fill, Scott discovered that purpose isn’t found by chasing achievement, it’s uncovered by facing the parts of yourself you’ve been avoiding. Together, we dive deep into burnout, identity, resilience, faith, discipline, leadership, and the courage it takes to rebuild your life from the inside out. Whether you’re an entrepreneur, veteran, first responder, leader, or simply someone who feels exhausted from carrying the weight of expectations, this conversation will challenge your thinking, strengthen your mindset, and remind you that your greatest gifts are often hidden inside your greatest struggles. If you’ve ever felt like you’ve lost your purpose, this episode is your reminder that your story isn’t over, it’s just entering its most important chapter.🎙️ Subscribe to the Vertical Momentum Resiliency Podcast, leave a review, share this episode with someone who needs hope today, and visit our website for more world-class conversations designed to help you build resilience, discover purpose, and create unstoppable momentum.To Get Scott’s New Book 📖 https://share.google/P3ANQp4Fbj33lo1QNThank You To Our Friends At Summit Plaza Gnc inHackensack New Jersey 201-343-4033For introducing me to the best Sports supplement line in the country Project #1 Nutrition #BurnoutRecovery#PurposeDrivenLife#Resilience
