Losing Everything and Rebuilding From a School Bus w/ Angie Callen
from The Resiliency Project · host Nik Agharkar
"I thought we were buying our future. Instead, we bought a disaster.” In this episode of The Resiliency Project, Angie Callen shares how buying the wrong business spiraled into lawsuits, bankruptcy, and financial collapse. After losing nearly everything, Angie and her husband moved into a gutted school bus in the mountains of Colorado and rebuilt their lives one coaching client, one networking event, and one step at a time. But this conversation is about more than failure. It is about resilience as a learned skill. Angie explains how childhood adversity shaped her mindset, why having “no way back” forced her to adapt, and how refusing to quit helped her build a successful coaching business from scratch. From sleeping in her Subaru between networking events to finding her first client through LinkedIn, Angie’s story is a reminder that resilience is often built long before the breakthrough arrives. What You’ll Learn: • How a failed business purchase led to bankruptcy and rebuilding from a school bus • Why resilience can be developed through adversity and experience • How LinkedIn networking helped Angie land her first coaching clients • Why controlling what you can control is critical during hardship • How failure became the foundation for Angie’s future success Episode Links: Angie Callen LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/angiecallen/ Connect with Angie Callen: https://angiecallen.com/ Angie Callen's new book, Scary Good: https://angiecallen.com/scarygoodread/
