Michael Burt continues the Alignment Reset series with a grounded conversation about entrepreneurial leadership, sustainable business success, and life after disruption. This episode focuses on the challenging phase of identity transformation many entrepreneurs and leaders experience when an old way of operating no longer fits, but a new identity has not fully taken shape. L. Michael explores the in-between as a crucial space where familiar identities dissolve and new ways of leading, creating, and living begin to form. Rather than framing this transitional period as confusion or failure, the conversation reframes it as an essential incubation period for creativity, self discovery, and deeper awareness. Listeners will hear why rushing clarity, forcing outcomes, or defaulting to familiar patterns often blocks growth, and how alignment and coherence create space for natural momentum, opportunities, and partnerships. L. Michael shares personal insight from his own ThriveWell Journey, including the evolution of FAYEWAY Media , named in honor of his mother, as an example of leadership rooted in alignment rather than resistance. His experience highlights how sustainable business success emerges when awareness replaces control and coherence replaces force. This episode is designed for entrepreneurs, leaders, and creatives navigating transformation, reinvention, and purposeful shifts in 2026 who want to grow without burning out or losing themselves in the process. Listeners are invited to reflect on their own alignment journey, engage with the growing community, and continue exploring this work through The Empowered Path workbook and future Friday Night Live conversations. 00:00 Introduction to Friday Night Live 04:00 Understandin…","meta_description":"In this episode of Friday Night Live , host L.
