How to Become the Hero in Your Own Life with Derek Loudermilk

How to Become the Hero in Your Own Life with Derek Loudermilk

Author: Jason Moore July 3, 2025 Duration: 1:07:48
What if you could flip your thinking, let go of old scripts, and start showing up as the hero in your own life, right now?  Derek Loudermilk is a coach, adventurer, podcaster, and bestselling author who helps coaches, healers, and creators become global thought leaders. After leaving behind a PhD program, surviving a life-threatening blood clot, and traveling the world for years, Derek rebuilt his life on his own terms.   In this episode, Derek and I explore five “thought reversals” to help you in your hero journey, especially during times of big transitions or when you’re feeling stuck.  I loved this conversation because it’s packed with practical ways to reframe the stories you tell yourself, and it’s a great reminder that a lot of what holds us back happens in our heads. You’ll hear Derek’s wild backstory, how he rebuilt his identity after losing everything, and what it looks like to live more freely by dropping the old scripts. If you’ve ever felt caught between wanting more adventure and wanting stability, or if you’re curious how to “be lazy” in a way that actually helps you succeed, there’s something here for you.  What old script are you ready to rewrite? I'd love to hear about it, and I hope you’ll share them by sending me an audio message.  *This is a previously released episode from the archives!
