Скачать или смотреть From Distillery Success to Hitting Rock Bottom: Troy Karnes' Honest Reckoning

In this powerful episode of Lead Empowered TV, we sit down with Troy Karnes, to unpack a story of success, collapse, and rebuilding from the inside out.

From helping grow one of the most influential craft distilleries in the country to a $186M exit, Troy lived the high-performance, high-indulgence lifestyle to the fullest. But behind the accolades was a growing addiction that ultimately cost him his place at home. After checking himself into rehab, he was hit with another life-altering diagnosis — a rare cancer that required the removal of his shoulder blade and a titanium replacement.

What followed wasn’t a miracle cure or overnight transformation.

It was systems. Discipline. Clarity. And the long, unglamorous work of staying sober, staying sane, and choosing growth one day at a time.

In this conversation, we explore:

Why quick fixes fail leaders

The power of systems over motivation

Building resilience through structure

What his book teaches about sustainable success

If you’re a leader tired of hype and ready to build something that lasts — this episode is for you.
