Second Life Leader

From Setback to Sovereignty. This platform is for founders, executives, and rebuilders who’ve been knocked down by layoffs, burnout, betrayal, or failure—and refuse to stay down. I’m Doug Utberg. I rebuilt my career, my finances, and my identity from zero, and now I have raw conversations with leaders who’ve walked through fire and rebuilt stronger. Every episode cuts directly into the moments that forge a leader: Career reinvention and self-leadership Burnout recovery and nervous system restoration Ethical entrepreneurship in a post-growth world Systems thinking, AI, and automation for sovereign execution No hype. No guru scripts. Just clarity, truth, and the architecture required to rebuild a life—and a company—that cannot be taken from you. 🔧 CFO Operator Clinic If you lead a finance function, this is where we dismantle the chaos and build real structure: KPI trees Universal journals Transformation architecture Decision systems Semantic-layer design This is the tactical advantage most CFOs never get—and it’s where operators rise. 📍 Book your spot at SecondLifeLeader.com 📩 Go Deeper The show sparks the rebuild.
