This Could've Been a Villain Origin Story
Jul 16, 2024Years ago, I found myself in a Zoom meeting with 100 other employees, witnessing a moment that would forever alter my life. Our once admired leader, now disheveled and likely hungover, delivered news that shattered our sense of security.
The company I had poured my heart and soul into was embroiled in a lawsuit for fraud, with claims totaling over $130 million, and others piling on. The FTC's intervention froze our assets, leaving us jobless and unpaid, a paycheck we wouldn't see for six months. As if that weren't enough, the stigma of our company's scandal branded us with professional pariah status, rendering us untouchable in the industry.
Realizing my dream job of writing had turned into penning love notes for Satan broke my heart. I began drinking more, struggled to sleep, and even started sleepwalking again—a habit that hadn't resurfaced in years. My depression felt like drowning, each attempt to the surface met with mouthfuls of water.
One morning, sitting on the edge of my bed at 6 am, sipping vodka straight from my bottle of "bed booze," I felt an overwhelming sense of impending doom. Without thinking, I slipped on sneakers, grabbed my keys, and let my mind guide me. I arrived at a historic park where 200 men were massacred during the Texas Revolution. Walking in that silence along the riverbank awakened something within me.
After a 4-mile trek, I wandered into the town square and found myself outside a favorite shop. The sign announced a meditation class starting at 1 pm, and it was 12:55. This moment saved my soul and resurrected my crushed spirit. I threw myself into learning about spirituality, meditation, the gods, mindset, and my own magic. I began feeling better, stronger, and more abundant. Everything seemed to flow my way.
Despite the havoc our former employer unleashed, some of us returned months later to salvage what remained of our once glorious now notorious company, combined with sweetened job offers. During this tumultuous period, I made a pivotal decision that would redefine my career trajectory. I realized that effective business leadership and compliance are more than just checkboxes to tick or annual safety seminars to endure. They are the bedrock of sustainable success and the safeguard against catastrophic failure. I witnessed firsthand the devastating personal effects this ordeal had on employees and business owners alike—shattered livelihoods, broken spirits, and eroded trust. It underscored the critical importance of prioritizing ethical practices and fostering a supportive workplace culture where integrity and compassion thrive.
The relentless pursuit of profit at the expense of all else is not a blueprint for prosperity; it's a roadmap to ruin. This epiphany led me to pivot my MBA focus to Human Resource Management, driven by a deep desire to ensure that no company I partnered with would ever subject its employees to the ordeal we endured. It also unleashed a chain of events where I discovered a new path to healing in a moment where the stars perfectly aligned, placing me in the right place at the right time for spiritual growth during the darkest time of my life.
In a moment of serendipity amidst adversity, I made a profound choice that reshaped my life's trajectory.
