What Happens After You Lose Everything? Jim Koetting on the Power of Starting Over - Episode 31
Published 6 months, 2 weeks ago
Description
Today’s guest is Jim Koetting, a leadership coach, TEDx speaker, and founder of CEOM Consulting Group. But before any of those titles, Jim was a founder who—at the age of 50—lost everything.
His business collapsed. He lost his home. He emptied his savings. And yet, he never lost his sobriety or his drive to rebuild.
Jim’s story is one of reinvention. From personal and professional devastation, he clawed his way back—not just to success, but to significance. Today, he works with executive teams to build trust, align culture, and transform communication. He’s also the host of the Speaking With Authority podcast and a certified practitioner of the 5 Voices and GiANT leadership tools.
In this conversation, Jim opens up about the emotional rollercoaster of losing a business, the lessons he’s learned about ego and identity, and why most teams aren’t broken—they’re just underdeveloped.
If you've ever felt like you're building something with shaky hands or recovering from a painful reset, this episode is for you.
