About the show

You didn't burn out because you were weak. You burned out because you were built for more than the role you've been performing. Rise From The Ashes is the podcast for the leader who has climbed every ladder, hit every number, and still wakes at 3am wondering what any of it costs. Hosted by Baz Porter, British Army veteran, international bestselling author, and founder of The Prestige Architect™. This is not a show about resilience. It is not about mindset. It is not about working smarter. It is about the one thing no one in your position is allowed to say out loud. You are not lost. You are misidentified. Every episode delivers the counsel that performance culture refuses to give you, the architecture behind Sovereign Leadership™, the science of Silent Collapse™, and the frameworks that separate leaders who endure from leaders who are finally, completely themselves. No inspiration. No hacks. No room full of strangers holding you accountable. Just the truth. Applied. Rise From The Ashes. Every week. No filler.

Jeffrey Hayzlett showed up at Kodak a week early.

A few years later he was responsible for 17 billion dollars in marketing and sales spend, and the biggest company he had worked for before that was worth a couple of billion. In Part 1 of his talk on Rise From The Ashes, the Chairman of C-Suite Network tells how he got there with no grand plan. He shares his three conditions of satisfaction, why a leader's job is to be strategic and not the smartest, and why life is a five-way teeter-totter. He tells about a 27 hour flight for a cheerleading game, how C-Suite Network got its name overnight, and his advice for the road: do it faster and do it bigger. This is Part 1.

Linda Won Nationals

For years, Linda Fisk carried a secret. She was clinically shy as a child, and then she stuttered. It followed her from grade school to college, and she called it an invisible disability. In Part 1, Linda tells Baz how she faced it. She took every speech class she could find. She passed out at the podium. Then her professor let her turn the lectern to face the wall. By her senior year she had won a national speech competition. Along the way she shares why she started LeadHERship Global, what bias at work taught her, and why she says grit can be taught and grace turns heads. This is Part 1.

When High Achievers Hit Rock Bottom

What has to die for the real you to rise? Business and brand strategist Stacy Raske joins Baz Porter to tell the story of the identity she had to let burn. From a military career cut short in Iraq, to seven years as a pharmaceutical chemist, to a rock-bottom moment that nearly ended her life, Stacy rebuilt everything by changing one thing she had full control over. This conversation is for the high achievers and recovering control freaks: why your control issues wear a prettier face as you succeed, how responsibility beats control, why entrepreneurship surfaces every unhealed pattern, and what 25 years of marriage through infidelity, addiction, and childhood trauma taught her about connection. Stacy Raske is a business strategist and authority architect who helps multi-passionate founders make their genius monetizable and scalable beyond themselves. In this episode: The Identity That Had To Burn / Military and The Should Path / Rock Bottom / The One-Thing Decision / Entrepreneurship Triggers Everything / The Marriage, 25 Years / Responsibility vs Control / Where To Find Stacy Find Stacy: stacyraskey.com and @stacyraske on social.

Why the Repair Matters More Than the Mistake — Part 2

We're more disconnected than we've ever been. Even when we feel connected, most of it is surface. That is Yarona Boster's read on the state of modern families — and in Part 2 of this conversation, she takes it apart piece by piece. She is a communication strategist, a TEDx speaker, a two-time international bestselling author, and a death doula. She has spent eighteen years studying how humans actually communicate, and her new book — Unspoken Signals: Essential Parenting Skills to Raise Emotionally Secure Children — gives parents the tools she has been using in private rooms with private clients for years. In this conversation she walks through what hypervigilance is doing to our families, why adult children are going no contact with their parents in record numbers, how to regulate yourself before trying to regulate your child, and the line that frames the whole episode: the repair matters more than the mistake. Rise From The Ashes and Baz Porter — in proud partnership with C-Suite Network. This is Part 2. Part 1 came first — listen to that one too if you missed it.

Yarona Boster Death Taught Her How to Parent

Yarona Boster learned how to parent from the people she watched die. She is a death doula. For years she has sat at the bedside of people in their final days. She has heard the regrets. She has watched what mattered at the very end. And what she learned there is what she now teaches parents. She also grew up in chaos — a Holocaust survivor father, a mother carrying her own abusive past — and she chose, on purpose, to do it differently with her own eight-year-old son. She is a communication strategist, a TEDx speaker, a two-time international bestselling author, and the author of Unspoken Signals: Essential Parenting Skills to Raise Emotionally Secure Children. In this conversation she talks about why most parents repeat the old patterns even when they swore they wouldn't, how she practices the new way in the quiet moments most of us never notice, what dying people taught her about how to live, and the day she got her own mother back on a horse weeks before she died. Rise From The Ashes and Baz Porter — in proud partnership with C-Suite Network. This is Part 1. Part 2 is a separate episode — listen to that one next.
