From Setback to Sovereignty. This platform is for founders, executives, and rebuilders who’ve been knocked down by layoffs, burnout, betrayal, or failure—and refuse to stay down. I’m Doug Utberg. I rebuilt my career, my finances, and my identity from zero, and now I have raw conversations with leaders who’ve walked through fire and rebuilt stronger. Every episode cuts directly into the moments that forge a leader: Career reinvention and self-leadership Burnout recovery and nervous system restoration Ethical entrepreneurship in a post-growth world Systems thinking, AI, and automation for sovereign execution No hype. No guru scripts. Just clarity, truth, and the architecture required to rebuild a life—and a company—that cannot be taken from you. 🔧 CFO Operator Clinic If you lead a finance function, this is where we dismantle the chaos and build real structure: KPI trees Universal journals Transformation architecture Decision systems Semantic-layer design This is the tactical advantage most CFOs never get—and it’s where operators rise. 📍 Book your spot at SecondLifeLeader.com 📩 Go Deeper The show sparks the rebuild.
