At the end of the day, his message is inspiring to anyone going through a valley in their life and they need some reassurance that they are not alone. Don't miss this podcast.
What happens when truth replaces performance—and purpose replaces pressure?
In this powerful episode, I sit down with Ryan Reichert, professional speaker, mindset trainer, executive coach, best-selling author, and podcaster based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Ryan’s life journey spans small-town America, global leadership roles, military combat zones, corporate boardrooms, and—most importantly—a deeply personal path of faith, recovery, and service.
A born-again believer in Jesus and a servant leader at heart, Ryan brings more than four decades of lived experience to this conversation. He served 23 years in the U.S. Army, retiring as a Lieutenant Colonel, with four combat deployments and a leadership role as a Foreign Service Director. After military service, he transitioned into the Fortune 500 world, gaining firsthand insight into high-stakes decision-making, corporate leadership, and the inner cost of external success.
But Ryan’s story isn’t just about titles or accomplishments.
As a recovery advocate who overcame alcohol addiction, Ryan speaks openly about surrender, accountability, and the peace that comes from living in truth. His work today empowers overwhelmed professionals to break free from limiting beliefs, reconnect with their God-given purpose, and pursue meaningful, lasting transformation.
In this episode, we explore what it truly means to lead—from faith rather than fear, from truth rather than ego, and from service rather than status.
True peace doesn’t come from control, achievement, or approval—it comes from alignment. When we live in truth, rooted in faith and purpose, clarity follows, confidence grows, and transformation becomes possible.
