How does a man rise to the top—only to feel completely empty? In this powerful true story, Bill Moyer, a leadership coach and president of the Catholic Men's Leadership Alliance, shares the moment that changed everything: a midnight conversation with a homeless man on the streets of Austin. At the height of his career, after winning a world-class award, Bill was haunted by the hollowness of success and the wounds of a broken past. But when a stranger told him, “You’re never going to be happy until you go home,” Bill began a journey of radical transformation—back to faith, back to family, and back to the man he was called to be. This story is about what real heroism looks like: forgiveness, humility, and saying yes to God. If you’ve ever chased success only to feel lost, this episode will walk you home.
