from The Resiliency Project · host Nik Agharkar

"I wanted to be in charge of my own destiny." — Bart Berkey never expected a heart attack, a global pandemic, and the loss of his 16-year career at Ritz-Carlton to completely change his life. Founder of Most People Don't and keynote speaker Bart Berkey joins Nik Agharkar to share how those setbacks pushed him to build a business centered on purpose, kindness, and resilience. From running out of savings to rebuilding his confidence one day at a time, Berkey explains why remembering your "why," serving others, and embracing what he calls "humanality" helped him create a more meaningful life than the one he left behind. This conversation is a reminder that resilience isn't about avoiding hardship, it's about choosing to keep going. What You'll Learn: Why remembering your purpose makes difficult seasons easier to endure How serving others can shift your mindset during your lowest moments The difference between feeling processed and making people feel seen Why Bart believes "humanality" will become even more important in an AI-driven world How small daily choices create long-term resilience and a meaningful life Episode Links Bart Berkey Online: http://bartaberkey.com/ Bart Berkey LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bartberkey/ Bart Berkey Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bartberkey/ Bart Berkey Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@bart.berkey?lang=en Bart Berkey YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@bartberkey Bart Berkey Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/most-people-dont-but-you-do/id1556134592
