What if your greatest pain was the beginning of your purpose? In this episode of Unemployable with Jeff Dudan, Rick Walker reveals how he went from painting flagpoles and living in a van to launching multimillion-dollar businesses, leading nonprofits in 53 countries, and becoming a force for men searching for truth, identity, and meaning in today’s chaotic world. Author of Nine Steps to Build a Life of Meaning, Rick opens up about early trauma, imposter syndrome, faith, fatherhood, power, and redemption—and how he uses those experiences to help others escape the trap of comfort and build a legacy through service. This is a vulnerable and courageous conversation about what it really takes to become a man who leads.
