You can look fine and be running on empty.

Rise From The Ashes is the show where leaders say so out loud. Real falls, told in full, by the people who came back from them.

  • New episodes weekly

A show for the part nobody posts.

Most leaders share the win. Few share the fall. In each episode, a guest tells the whole story: what gave way, what they learned, and how they rebuilt.

Guests include founders and leaders from the Inc. 500. Their titles are different. Their stories rhyme.

This show is for

  • Leaders who look fine and feel empty
  • Founders in the middle of a rebuild
  • Anyone who has had to start again
  • People who need to know it can be done

Hosted by someone who lived it.

Baz Porter® knows what it is like to keep performing while the inside gives out.

  1. British Army, 1997 to 2004

    Six and a half years of service. It built grit, discipline, and the habit of pushing through.

  2. The fall

    A personal collapse that all of that training had not prepared Baz for. Success on the outside. Empty on the inside, for a long time.

  3. The way back

    Baz rebuilt, then gave the pattern a name: Silent Collapse™. And built the way out: Sovereign Leadership™.

  4. Now

    Baz hosts Rise From The Ashes on the C-Suite Network, with 100+ episodes, and sits with leaders who are walking the same road.

The way back has five parts.

Baz calls the way back Sovereign Leadership™. It runs on RAMS™, five parts that hold each other up.

RAMS™ works on the business and the body together. Both get rebuilt, or neither lasts.
