What does it really mean to rewrite the story that shaped you — without losing what it gave you?

In this episode of The Unknown Path, Jem Fuller sits down with Ron Carucci, co-founder of Navalent and a leadership consultant who has spent three decades advising CEOs through major organisational change. Ron shares his own honest reckoning with the origin stories we all carry, the vows we make young without realising it, and what it actually takes to unlearn a habit without losing the ability behind it. From a client whose entire career was built on protecting an old wound, to Ron's own journey through faith, depression, and the moments that quietly redirected his life, this conversation explores how facing where we come from can change how we move forward — without asking us to give up who we've become.

In this conversation we go into:
— A client whose career was built on protecting a wound from childhood
— The vow made in silence, and the one that finally replaced it
— Ron's own years of depression and anxiety, and what shifted them
— The mentor who split his life into two distinct eras
— Why he almost didn't publish his article on the state of democracy
