Summary
What does it actually take to build a billion-dollar company and still build a life that feels grounded, meaningful, and whole? In this episode, I sit down with Steven J. Lund to talk about leadership, ambition, family, faith, and the quiet decisions that shape a life over time. Steven shares his journey from growing up in California to serving overseas, joining the military after a spiritual prompting, earning a law degree, and helping build Nu Skin into a global company, all while raising a family and staying rooted in his values. We talk honestly about what success really costs, how to take risks without losing yourself, what joy looks like in everyday life, and how to keep faith, purpose, and relationships from becoming sidelined along the way. Steven also opens up about grief, prayer, leadership, and what he’s learned about becoming who you’re meant to be, even when the path isn’t clear. Whether you’re ambitious, searching, rebuilding, or just trying to figure out how to live a meaningful life without burning out - this conversation is for you.
