Show Notes

Disruptor Nation, this one's for anyone who's ever felt trapped in success. I had the pleasure of talking with Eric Sardina, former C-suite exec, global consultant, marathon runner, and now purpose-driven coach about what it really means to win in life.

After three decades in high-powered corporate roles at firms like Deloitte and EY, Eric made a radical pivot. He left the suit-and-tie world behind to live a life of alignment and to help others do the same through his platform Return to Authenticity.

In this episode, we unpack:

  • What climbing the corporate ladder really cost him and why he eventually walked away

  • Why today's work culture is broken, and how loyalty and job security are now myths

  • The power of goal-setting and how it changed his identity, purpose, and relationships

  • How fear of failure held him back for years and the mindset shift that finally set him free

  • The life lessons he learned while running marathons and how they apply to business, marriage, and purpose

  • His powerful journey in Italy, and how travel cracked open clarity in unexpected ways

  • How he and his wife maintain a thriving partnership by regularly reflecting on their purpose and alignment

This isn't another corporate burnout story. It's a blueprint for intentional living one small win at a time.
