What do you do when you lose everything?

In this episode of Second Life Leader, Doug Utberg sits down with speaker, author, and entrepreneur Danny Brassell to unpack what happens when financial collapse becomes personal.

After falling victim to a real estate scam that wiped him out, Danny faced a choice: define himself by the loss — or rebuild from it.

Instead of declaring bankruptcy, he set aggressive income targets and forced reinvention. During one of the worst economic downturns in modern history, he built a thriving speaking business and eventually transitioned into coaching high-performing entrepreneurs and executives.

This isn’t a highlight reel.

It’s a candid conversation about:

• Financial collapse and identity
• The hidden risk of “safe” career paths
• Why recovery speed matters more than avoiding failure
• The real tradeoffs behind success
• Money vs. meaning
• Family vs. hyper-growth ambition
• Studying the dark chapters of biographies
• Why vulnerability creates connection

Failure isn’t rare.
What’s rare is disciplined recovery.

If you’re navigating layoffs, bankruptcy, divorce, burnout, or a failed venture — this conversation is for you.

The real credential isn’t an unbroken record.
It’s proof you can take a hit — and rebuild with clarity.
