Burn the Boats: David Richards on Reinventing After the Marines, Divorce, and Corporate Burnout

Описание: What if the very identity that made you successful is the same one keeping you stuck?
How do you rewrite your life when the script you’ve followed since birth suddenly stops working?

David Richards grew up steeped in the Marine Corps—it was the family business. He led troops in combat during Operation Restore Hope in Somalia, then spent 17 years climbing the corporate ranks at Cisco. But the real battle started when he realized he didn’t know who he was outside the uniform. Now a bestselling author, executive coach, and purpose-driven creator, David helps others find meaning on the far side of success.

Felt like a failure the day he got promoted
Stopped partying to earn back a legacy he thought he’d already inherited
Carried the same anger at his father into his marriage—and watched it collapse
He was scared to write because it meant confronting who he really was
Burned the boats when it was time to go his own way
