Wake Up to Die Again | Scott Lackey on Collapse, Masculinity, Identity & Becoming Whole

In this powerful and deeply honest conversation, Joni sits down with author, speaker, entrepreneur, veteran, and Ironman athlete Scott Lackey to explore what happens when the identities we build our lives around begin to collapse.

From war zones to business success, devastating losses to spiritual awakening, Scott shares the hard-earned wisdom that emerged from confronting failure, broken promises, ego, doubt, and the relentless pursuit of external validation.

Together, Joni and Scott dive into:

• The difference between who we are and the roles we play
• Why success alone never makes us whole
• The quiet inner voice that keeps us stuck
• Learning to trust yourself again
• Small promises vs. massive breakthroughs
• Healthy masculinity and grounded leadership
• The courage required to face collapse instead of running from it
• Why pain can become instruction rather than punishment
• The spiritual meaning behind Scott’s book Wake Up to Die Again
• How to reclaim your most alive life

This episode is an invitation to stop performing, stop hiding, and begin the courageous work of becoming whole.
