124. 3 Years, 300 Clients, 1 Lesson: Own Your Life.

You didn't lose your identity when you got out—you just kept trying to lead in a world where no one asked you to.

This one's about control, identity loss, self-abandonment, and what it means to truly rebuild when no one is watching. Juan shares how losing his career twice (once as a Marine, once as an undercover cop) forced him to confront the one thing he never wanted to face: himself.

You'll also hear:

• Why you need to stop trying to fix everyone around you

• How "ownership" beats "leadership" in civilian life

• The 4 rules Juan lives by to create peace and progress

• The biggest lies we believe about being a veteran

• A raw behind-the-scenes update on parenting, coaching, and finding purpose again

This is one of Juan's most personal episodes yet. Part lesson, part update, all truth.

"You're not in charge anymore. But if you do it right, that might be the best thing that ever happened to you."
