Wake up to Die Again with Scott Lackey

What happens when the path you built suddenly changes? In this episode of Success Matters, I sit down with Scott Lackey, author of Wake Up to Die Again, to explore how unexpected setbacks can lead to deeper personal alignment and clarity.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. We also examine the burden of broken promises we make to ourselves and how many people wake up to die again.Connect with Scott Lackey:Website: https://scottlackey.comBook: Wake Up to Die Again: Breaking Who You Became, So You Can Be Who You're Meant to Be01:24 – Introduction to Scott Lackey & Wake Up to Die Again02:16 – Understanding Life's Unplanned Turning Points05:27 – Early Influences & Joining the Military07:49 – Building a Business & Navigating Corporate Loss10:49 – Processing Failure: Rage, Choice, and Internal Reflection13:17 – The Mindset Shift: Ownership vs. Stewardship16:47 – Looking Inward for Completeness Beyond Material Assets19:33 – The Principle of Exchange & Prioritising Purpose22:08 – Recognising Numbness & Addressing Broken Promises27:30 – Finding Growth in Difficulty & Extending Self-Grace28:57 – Redefining Success: Family, Health, and Intangibles32:10 – The Symbolism of the Sword: Warrior, Shepherd, and Poet33:47 – Scott's Question for the Next Guest & Closing Remarks#Personal Growth#Redefining Success#Overcoming Failure#Mindset and Identity#Holistic Success
