What happens when the identity you built as an entrepreneur suddenly collapses?
In this episode, Darryl Heffline, a 40-year serial entrepreneur, executive, and author, shares the moment he realized he was completely unbalanced, lost, and unprepared for disruption. We talk about career failures, reinvention, family sacrifices, health wake-up calls, and the four foundational pillars Darryl believes every founder must build around: faith, family, fitness, and finances.
What you’ll learn:
• Why founders often tie identity too tightly to success
• How disruption can become the catalyst for transformation
• The cost of ignoring family and health
• Why balance is measured in time, not intention
• Darryl’s framework for rebuilding after setbacks
