Faith, Family & Starting Again | Operator Mindset Ep. 9

In this powerful episode of Operator Mindset, Howie Zales sits down with Michael Holden, alongside co-host Jason Elliott, for a raw conversation about crisis, faith, family, health, and the cost of living out of alignment. Michael shares his journey from 25 years in corporate finance and senior leadership to the moments that forced him to rethink what success, security, and providing for his family really mean. From his daughter Catherine’s epilepsy diagnosis, to his own cancer diagnosis, to the transformational experience in Fiji that helped him reconnect with purpose, this conversation is honest, emotional, and deeply human. This episode is about what happens when pain becomes purpose, when fear gives way to faith, and when true leadership starts with the courage to live in alignment.
