Wake up to Die Again with Scott Lackey
<p>What happens when the path you built suddenly changes? </p><p>In this episode of <em>Success Matters</em>, I sit down with Scott Lackey, author of <em>Wake Up to Die Again</em>, to explore how unexpected setbacks can lead to deeper personal alignment and clarity.</p><p>Scott reflects on losing a company he built, the distinction between power and control, and how moving from an 'ownership' mindset to one of 'stewardship' altered his perspective on life, family, and success. </p><p>We also examine the burden of broken promises we make to ourselves and how many people wake up to die again.</p><p><strong>Connect with Scott Lackey:</strong></p><ul><li><p>Website:<a href="https://scottlackey.com/"> <u>https://scottlackey.com</u><br></a></p></li><li><p>Book: <em>Wake Up to Die Again: Breaking Who You Became, So You Can Be Who You're Meant to Be</em><br></p></li></ul><p><strong>01:24</strong><em> – Introduction to Scott Lackey & Wake Up to Die Again</em></p><p><strong>02:16</strong><em> – Understanding Life's Unplanned Turning Points</em></p><p><strong>05:27</strong><em> – Early Influences & Joining the Military</em></p><p><strong>07:49</strong><em> – Building a Business & Navigating Corporate Loss</em></p><p><strong>10:49</strong><em> – Processing Failure: Rage, Choice, and Internal Reflection</em></p><p><strong>13:17</strong><em> – The Mindset Shift: Ownership vs. Stewardship</em></p><p><strong>16:47</strong><em> – Looking Inward for Completeness Beyond Material Assets</em></p><p><strong>19:33</strong><em> – The Principle of Exchange & Prioritising Purpose</em></p><p><strong>22:08</strong><em> – Recognising Numbness & Addressing Broken Promises</em></p><p><strong>27:30</strong><em> – Finding Growth in Difficulty & Extending Self-Grace</em></p><p><strong>28:57</strong><em> – Redefining Success: Family, Health, and Intangibles</em></p><p><strong>32:10</strong><em> – The Symbolism of the Sword: Warrior, Shepherd, and Poet</em></p><p><strong>33:47</strong><em> – Scott's Question for the Next Guest & Closing Remarks</em></p><p><em>#Personal Growth</em></p><p><em>#Redefining Success</em></p><p><em>#Overcoming Failure</em></p><p><em>#Mindset and Identity</em></p><p><em>#Holistic Success</em></p><p><br></p>
