When resilience becomes survival, what does it cost you?

At eleven, Aaron Rigg lost his best mate.
Years later, he lost his business when his partner was arrested.
He buried himself in work, success, and silence — until it all caught up with him.

In this raw episode of The Resource Podcast, host Becky Felstead sits down with Aaron, founder of Untapped Resources, to strip back the polished version of success and explore what really happens when life unravels.

They dive into:
 💬 Grief, shame, and burnout
 💬 Leadership, fatherhood, and control
 💬 The pressure men feel to “just push through”
 💬 The quiet moments that changed everything

This isn’t just about resilience — it’s about what happens when you stop running from yourself, and how one man turned every breakdown into a blueprint for growth.
