Bearing Scars

Bearing Scars hosts raw discussions with titans in their fields. But we won’t just be talking about the achievements with which you’re familiar.

There are a ton of fluffy podcasts about success, but Bearing Scars peels back the visage to discover the real truth of those who admit to monumental missteps in life, and worked to rebuild themselves in the aftermath.

We talk with those who have gone from prison to prominence, from debilitating addiction to public adoration, from youthful indiscretion to business dominance and from career-ending scandal to redefining their life’s work.

Our tagline here is rebounding with Grit, Grace and Growth. We’ll learn from these leaders how they have stayed focused, continued to drive forward; maintained an inward and outward mental balance, and grown so their scars won’t define their legacy.

And you’ll hopefully learn from their resilience routines, which have helped them through the tough times.

The name of this series is Bearing Scars. Because those marks will never disappear, especially in this hyper-toxic, everything online forever atmosphere, but we can work to turn those scars into reminder to keep fighting for our own American Dream, and inspiring others to do the same. Let's learn together.
