From Wall Street to Wounded Veterans: Rebuilding a Life After Everything Falls Apart with Lyubim Kogan

What happens when everything you’ve built crumbles — the money, the mission, and even your identity?

In this powerful episode, Lyubim Kogan shares his extraordinary journey from high-stakes finance on Wall Street to launching Wings4Heroes, a mission that takes wounded veterans to the edge of cliffs, literally and metaphorically, to help them rediscover purpose.

Lyubim opens up about surviving 9/11, being a five-time first-generation immigrant, losing it all more than once, and the promise that drove him to keep going when applause, systems, and resources were nowhere in sight.

If you've ever hit rock bottom, questioned your purpose, or wondered how to lead in total chaos , this conversation is your reminder that sometimes, the greatest missions are born from the ashes.

This one’s for the leaders, the visionaries, and anyone carrying a purpose too big to quit. Tune in.

What We Talk About:

• Keeping the promise we all made
• What wounded veterans taught him about purpose and resilience
• Leadership when no one’s watching — or helping
• How to turn pain into a mission that heals others
