Second Life Leader is the podcast and newsletter for those burned by the system—and bold enough to build something better.
I’m Doug Utberg, and this platform is for founders, rebuilders, creatives, and professionals who’ve been gutted by layoffs, divorce, burnout, or failure—and still refuse to quit.
Each episode delivers raw, unsanitized conversations with leaders who’ve walked through fire, rebuilt from nothing, and now lead with clarity, presence, and conviction.
We talk:
Career reinvention and self-leadership
Burnout recovery and nervous system rebuilding
Ethical entrepreneurship and post-collapse strategy
Using AI and automation to reclaim time and sovereignty
This isn’t a show about playing nice.
It’s about building something that can’t be taken from you.
📩 Want to go deeper?
The podcast sparks the rebuild—
But the newsletter is where the real work happens.
Subscribe at DougUtberg.com for weekly strategies, frameworks, and fire-tested insight to help you reclaim your time, rebuild your edge, and lead with sovereign clarity.
