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.
