About this listen

The Price of Success is where real entrepreneurs tell the whole truth. Not just the highlight reel — but the head trash, the doubt, the fear, and the faith it took to keep going. This show digs deep into the stories behind the success. The moments that nearly broke them. The decisions that cost more than anyone saw. The people they had to become to build what they’ve built. These are raw, long-form conversations with leaders who prove: Success always has a price. But it’s worth it — if you’re willing to pay it.2025 Economics Leadership Management & Leadership Personal Development Personal Success

  • The Hidden Cost of Success Without Purpose With CEO Forrest Walden
    Jun 18 2025

    This episode rocked me in the first 5 minutes.

    I did NOT see it coming, and it led to one of the deepest, most vulnerable, and most influential conversations I've ever had.

    Forrest Walden is a successful CEO, coach, husband, father, and non-profit leader, but you better believe there's been just as many pits as there have been peaks.

    Learn how Forrest has built a 25+ year marriage that's better than he could ever have imagined, built a huge business, impacted thousands of men, brought water to the most needy, and done it all through some of the craziest obstacles you could imagine.

    This is truly The Price of Success.
