In this episode of Find Your Finish Line, I sit down with Scott Lackey, an Army veteran, entrepreneur, IRONMAN athlete, and author, for a real and honest conversation about resilience, failure, and what it takes to rebuild your life. Scott opens up about the defining moments that shaped him, from his early decisions after high school to his time in the military and the setbacks he faced in business, including losing control of a company he built after raising millions in funding. What stands out is how he’s learned to see failure not as the end, but as the foundation for growth. 

We also dive into his new book, Wake Up to Die Again, and what that title really means. It’s about letting go of the parts of ourselves that no longer serve us so we can become who we’re meant to be. This conversation goes beyond racing and training. It’s about facing the truth, stopping the habit of outrunning our struggles, and realizing that what we’re searching for isn’t out there, it’s already within us. If you’re in a tough spot or just looking to grow, this one will meet you where you are.
