What if reaching your goals isn’t the only measure of success?

In this episode of The Happy Achiever Podcast, Amal sits down with financial services leader Derek Kilgore for a conversation about success, purpose, discipline, and building a life you’re actually proud of.

Derek shares the moment his 7-year-old daughter said something that completely changed how he looked at success—and why he realized achievement means nothing if you lose what matters most along the way.

You’ll learn:
 • how to stay focused when motivation fades
 • why knowing your purpose makes it easier to stay disciplined when things get hard
 • how to create success in your career without sacrificing your family
 • and why serving others can lead to more fulfillment and better results

Derek also shares how his faith and purpose shape the way he leads, why he believes mistakes are necessary for growth, and the simple habits that help him stay focused on what matters most.

If you’ve ever wondered how to chase big goals while still being present for the people and things you love, this episode is for you.

Because real success isn’t about winning in one area of your life.

It’s building something you’re proud of in all of them.
