Craig Siegel was a Wall Street big shot who woke up in his thirties and realized he was lost. During the pandemic, he finally got the quiet he needed to kick-start his transformation. Craig joined me on to talk about guilt, swapping drinking for running, and how to reinvent yourself.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

  • How running became a pivotal tool in Craig’s journey from addiction to reinvention.
  • The importance of forgiving yourself to move forward and embrace new opportunities.
  • Why aligning your career with your purpose is crucial for fulfillment and avoiding destructive behaviors.
  • The power of sharing without an agenda and how it can lead to unexpected rewards.
  • Why cultivating desire and believing in your potential is essential for personal growth and impact.

I’ll share a few of my favorite quotes from Craig below:

On Embracing Your Potential:

“Playing small is canceled. And it’s our responsibility to do great big epic stuff, but we have to begin to cultivate and flex that desire muscle.”

On Finding Purpose:

“I don’t believe in coincidences. I believe we’re all here for a specific reason. And we should never stop trying to identify what that is so that we can be of service and help people.”

On the Nature of Pain:

“Emotional and spiritual pain is far tougher to deal with than physical pain.”
