Losing millions of dollars -- twice -- was not the hardest crucible Ken Eslick has had to face. The most challenging thing about moving beyond those setbacks was decoupling his identity from the number of zeroes on his balance sheet. Describing himself as someone who was good at making money but not at keeping it, he needed to change the story he had told himself about himself since he was a teenager.

We talk with Eslick this week about how he bounced back from his financial failures, and also how he overcame a drinking problem that cost him his job. Those challenging journeys helped him craft a new narrative for his life and career, one that’s led him to found The Leaders Lab, an executive search firm that’s placed more than 500 executives.  He’s also the host of the popular Leaders Lab Podcast.
