What happens when Dr. John A. King loses his career, his first marriage, and his reputation all at once?


In this episode, Shane and Vin sit down with Dr. John A. King, a survivor of extreme childhood trauma and a global leader , to discuss the brutal reality of rebuilding a life from the ground up when the world as you know it collapses.


We break down:

1. The Identity Trap: Why building your self-worth on external success is a dangerous foundation.

2. The Phoenix Concept: How to navigate the "burn" of a life transition and use it to reinvent yourself.

3. Redefining Masculinity: A raw look at the hidden statistics of why men are struggling today and how to fix it.

4. Inside-Out Leadership: Why the most successful people focus on what is irreplaceable rather than what is material.

5. Trauma as Fuel: How to take the "poop" of your past and turn it into the "fertilizer" for your future fruit.


This episode is for you if:

1. You feel like your current path is crumbling and you're afraid of what's next.

2. You’ve achieved success but still feel an "identity hole" inside.

3. You want to understand the true resilience required to lead in the modern world.


Stick around—this conversation with Dr. King is the blueprint for anyone needing to start over and win.
